Recalling presets

There are three levels of recalling presets in the Gold Channel: Total Recall: You can make a Total Recall that recalls absolutely every setting in the machine (Except +48V), including input gain and input/output/insert setup.

Recall: Where you Recall all processing settings that can be modified in the Edit, Routing and Layout displays. This includes M/S matrix, Delay and Panner settings, plus all processing blocks placed in the two channels.

Partial Recall: Here you can recall selected processing blocks from one preset into the preset you are currently working on (See below).

NOTE: When you scroll through the presets with the Value wheel, you will automatically jump between the Factory, User and Card banks. Factory presets is marked “F”, User presets is marked “U” and Card presets is marked “C”.

Partial Recall

The grid at the left of the display is used to make what we call partial recall. This enables you to load parts of the settings from one preset, into the preset you are currently working on.

It can either be all processing blocks from one or both channels, or just a single processing block. Turn the Parameter wheel to select what you want to partial recall.

The small icons in the grid represents different things:

A box that is not filled out indicates that the block is present in the Routing.

A diamond indicates that the block is present in the Routing, and that a partial recall will overwrite the current settings.

A box that is filled out (black) indicates that the block is not present in the Routing, but will be placed in the Routing when partial recall is confirmed.

Example: Recall factory preset 100 Empty Routing. Now turn the

Parameter wheel until the display reads: Ch.1+2 COM, then turn the Value wheel to factory preset 79 (F079 Stereo Keyboards) and press Enter. The Compressor settings from factory preset 79 are now loaded into the preset. Continue in this way to construct exactly the preset you want, and store it in a separate space in the User bank.
