MIDI PROGRAM CHANGE MESSAGES
Presets saved within the 8-STEP can be loaded using an external MIDI device through
MIDI Program Change messages. The MIDI PC messages must be set to the same channel
as the 8-STEP or set the 8-STEP to accept all channels. Please Note: This manual
describes PC messages as having a range of 0 to 127; some devices use the range 1 to
128. The total range is the same; you may need to adjust the PC number by 1.

- CONFIGURATION SETTINGS -
The 8-STEP automatically saves your configuration settings to its internal flash memory
within 2 seconds of a change to the settings. The settings are recalled as they were before
power was removed from the 8-STEP. The configuration settings that are saved are:
Latest Tap Tempo
Last Tempo Source (except MIDI Clock)
Tap Divide Mode
Exp. Mode
Play Mode
MIDI Channel
Glide setting
Direction setting
Sequence Length setting
Depth setting
Preset Number
The 8-STEP also loads the last preset automatically upon power up if the preset was loaded
at the time power was removed. If you want to restore the configuration settings to the
factory default, follow the Factory Restore procedure on Page 19. Please Note: the
Factory Restore also erases all presets and restores the 10 factory presets.
