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
