Editing Presets Live
There are two ways to edit a preset in Live. You may rerecord the preset or you may use [Update].

Rerecord

Rerecording follows the conventions of [Record] and [Record Only]. The only exception is that a
confirmation is required to actually rerecord the preset.
Two different mode for rerecording:
•[Record] [Preset] [5] [Enter] [Enter] - overwrites the content completely.
•[Channel List] [Record] [Preset] [5] [Enter] [Enter] - merges the data.

Update

[Update] is used to record parameter modifications back to a preset. When updating, you must
specify the preset to be updated. You may do this using the keypad or the direct selects.
For the purposes of the following descriptions, assume that there are no active cues on stage.
Updating referenced values while cues are active is covered in Modifying Cues Live, page 179.
For Example:
To update a preset, first recall the preset for any channels you wish to edit.
• [1] [Thru] [5] [Preset] [1] [Enter]
or
• [Recall From] [Preset] [1] [Enter]
Make required changes to the desired parameters using the keypad or encoders. Once you
have achieved the desired look, update the preset.
• [Update] [Preset] [1] [Enter]
or
• [Update] & {Preset 1}
When updating a preset, only channels that are already in the preset will be updated. You need to
select channels or parameters to force new data into a preset when using [Update].
