User Manual

is displaying a different preset number from the preset that is actually loaded. At this point

you can press and release the MODE knob to load the blinking preset number into the

Preset Cue.

PRESET CUE:

If you load a preset while a sequence is running the 8-STEP does not

immediately load the preset but instead cues up the preset and then waits for the current

sequence to end. Once the current sequence comes to an end, the preset in the cue loads

immediately and the 8-STEP continues playback with the new preset without missing a

beat. While a preset is waiting in the cue, the digit display rapidly blinks the preset

number, indicating the preset will be loaded when the current sequence finishes its run.

Please Note:

Presets will load immediately if the 8-STEP is paused or if you press the

RESET FSW while a preset is waiting the Preset Cue.

PRESET LOADED INDICATION:

When a preset is loaded in the 8-STEP, the decimal

next to the digit in the display lights up solid. If you load a preset and then change a

parameter, for example move one of the Step sliders, the decimal LED blinks to indicate

that a preset is loaded but one or more parameters have changed since loading the preset.

If you move the parameter back to the same setting as in the preset, the decimal LED

stops blinking.

SAVING A PRESET:

To save a preset on the 8-STEP, first make sure you are in PRESETS

mode. Then turn the MODE knob to the preset number you want to save in. Now press and

hold the MODE knob for approximately 1.5 seconds, until you see the three MODE LEDs

and the digit blink, indicating that the preset is saving. After you see the LEDs blink you

can release the MODE knob.

SAVING AN EDITED PRESET:

Once you load a preset, if you decide to edit it you can

then save it to a new preset location. For example, load Preset 1. Now change the position

of the RATE slider, you should see the decimal LED blinking. Turn the MODE knob to a

different preset number, say Preset 2. Now you should see both the decimal and the digit

blinking. Press and hold the MODE knob for than 1.5 seconds, once you see the three

MODE LEDs blink, the preset is being saved in the new location and you can release the

MODE knob.

EXITING PRESETS MODE:

To exit PRESETS mode, turn the MODE knob clockwise until

you see an

is displayed,

press and release the MODE knob to exit PRESETS mode; the 8-STEP will take you back to

the last mode you were in. If you loaded a preset before exiting, the preset remains loaded

after you exit.
