Preset Mode

In Preset Mode, you can load, save, copy, and rename Presets. A Preset is a collection of information about how the faders, knobs, buttons, and pads will behave. Using Presets allows you to save different configurations so you can load them quickly without reprogramming the MPK261 every time. This is also the default "performance mode."

To load a Preset:

1.Press Preset to enter Preset Mode.

2.Turn the Value Dial to select the desired Preset, which will appear in the display.

3.To load the selected Preset, press the Value Dial.

To cancel the operation and return to the current Preset, press Preset or just wait a few seconds.

To edit a Preset, please see the Edit Mode section of this chapter.

To save or copy a Preset:

Note: Saving and copying a Preset are mostly the same operation. The difference is that saving a Preset will save it to the same/original Preset number while copying a Preset will save it to a different Preset number.

1.Press Preset to enter Preset Mode.

2.Press the Right Cursor button. Store Program will appear in the display.

3.If you want to save it to the current Preset, press the Value Dial.

If you want to save/copy it to a different Preset, turn the Value Dial to select the desired Preset number (Copy Program will appear in the display), and then press the Value Dial.

To cancel the operation, press Preset.

To name or rename a Preset:

1.Press Preset to enter Preset Mode.

2.Press the Right Cursor button so Store Program appears in the display.

3.Press the Down Cursor button to select the Name field. The first letter of the name will blink.

4.Turn the Value Dial to change the blinking character, and use the Left Cursor and Right Cursor buttons to move between the characters.

5.To save the Preset name when you are finished, press the Value Dial. To cancel the operation, press Preset.

To restore the factory default Presets:

1.Press Preset to enter Preset Mode.

2.Press the Left Cursor button so Factory Defaults appears in the display.

3.Turn the Value Dial and select Presets.

4.To restore MPK261's factory default Presets (which overwrites those you have saved), press the Value Dial.

To cancel the operation, press Preset.
