NPresets saved from the front panel are always global ties presets. These presets are complete, ties only, configurations that overwrite all ties in the current configuration when recalled.

Presets recalled using any operator interface can be either global ties presets or partial presets (a subset of ties and/or sets of ties and/or signal processor settings). Partial presets are created in the DSP Configurator program, and can include audio parameters set in the DSP and only selected ties. When recalled, partial presets overwrite only those portions of the current configuration that are part of the preset.
