8.10 The pre-programmed Preset Focuses
When an instrument is patched using a Personality File a number of pre-
programmed Shared Preset Focuses can be automatically loaded, by
selecting YES when the LOAD PRE-PROGRAMMED FOCUSES menu is
presented prior to patching an instrument.
⇒ You can only load the Pre-programmed Focuses at this time.
This Preset focus information is customisable by editing the Personality File.
Details on how to do this are contained in the Personality File Technical
Manual.
Normally the automatically loaded Preset Focuses are as follows.
Preset Focus buttons 1 to 10 Colours.
Preset Focus buttons 11 to 21 Gobos.
Preset Focus buttons 21 to 29 Positions (see below).

for Shared Preset Focuses. See section 8.9 Shared Preset Focuses.
