The Preset Screen

The Preset screen is the starting point for many of the instructions in this manual, so it’s a good idea to know how to get to the Preset screen. In most cases, pressing the Back button one or more times will take you back to the Preset screen. If you press the Back button while viewing the Preset screen, you’ll arrive at the Machine or System Category Selection screen. In this case, just turn the Select knob to select a category (the current category is marked with an asterisk), and press the Select knob to load it. You will then be taken to the Preset screen.

The Preset screen shows the current preset and configuration. Note that the Preset screen has two “views”: System view (for System Presets) and Machine view (for Machine Presets). For more information about System and Machine Presets, see page 9.
