memory into whatever preset bin is showing in the right-hand window as long as it is not protected. While in Edit Mode you can select other unprotected preset bins before pressing Snapshot.

Presets created in Edit Mode are in every way equal to live snapshots. When recalled, they will expect the same Bank configuration as they were created for. They will display Mismatch errors like any other snapshot.

Editing Tools

Here are some useful editing tools:

1.DELETE UNIT: Pressing Erase in Edit Mode will delete the presently selected unit from the temporary workspace. Its Unit Select button will go out.

2.COPY & PASTE: Pressing both TONE buttons and then pressing the Unit Select of any unit will copy its complete table of settings. While still holding down both tone buttons, pressing any other Unit Select will paste the data into it. You can continue holding down the tone buttons and pasting the same data into as many other Unit Selects as you wish. It’s an easy way to clone a preamp setup.

How to Edit

1.Press the Edit button. It will start blinking. The selected preset will be copied into workspace memory.

2.Unit Select the first preamp number you want to include.

3.Set all mic channel parameters as you want and then Unit Select the next preamp number you want to include and continue doing the same until you have completed your theoretical preset for the Bank.

NOTE: You can use the COPY & PASTE tool in Edit Mode. It can save you some time by initializing your included preamps. You can still re-select your included units and hand modify them before taking the snapshot.

4.Select an unprotected snapshot bin 1-60 (in the right-side “Next” window). It doesn’t have to be empty. All existing contents will be deleted and overwritten.

5.Press Snapshot and the preset will be written into your selected bin.

6.Press Edit again to exit the Edit Mode.

Escaping From Edits

If you are in Edit Mode and you have not yet pressed the Snapshot button, your work will be deleted just by leaving the Edit Mode.

3.4 CLONING 1788A-R’s

There may come a time when you need to copy all the stored presets from one remote controller to another. We have provided a relatively easy way to do that through use of the MIDI ports in a manner similar to cloning 1788A’s (see Section 2.4).

Synchronizing Procedure

1.Temporarily cross-connect the MIDI IN and OUT ports as shown in Figure 3-3.

2.Program both units to MIDI Channel 1 (see section 3.7.2).

3.On the original unit, press both Tone Buttons and the CH 4 Select button then
