EDIT MODE

Pressing [EDIT] calls up Edit Mode. In this mode, you can edit the settings of the currently selected Preset. The settings vary depending on the controller you are editing and are described on the following page.

Please note that the changes you make will only apply to the currently selected Preset.

Also note that if you wish to save the changes made in Edit Mode, you will need to save the current preset.
