Organizing Your Presets
When you save a Preset, you should consider when and how it will be used. For
example, if you have a pair of Presets that you plan to use together in the same
song – one for the verse, one for the chorus – placing them in sequential Preset
numbers will let you quickly switch between them.
Loading a Preset using the Footswitches takes at least two taps. Once you tap the
Right Footswitch to cue the new Preset you must tap the Left Footswitch to load it.
Note: When saving to a location other than the active slot, the saved Preset
location becomes the active slot. In other words, if Preset #1 is currently active
and, after changing the parameters to get a new sound, you decide to save the
new sound to Preset #10, Preset #10 becomes the active Preset.
Active Presets
The H9 holds 99 Presets (1 to 99). 99 presets may be more than you need. If
you’d like to make it quicker and easier to find and load your Presets, the number
of active Presets can be reduced. Only the Presets that are active will show up
when loading. While only active Presets can be loaded, Presets can always be
saved to disabled Preset Numbers. Inactive Presets are not erased (but can be
overwritten) and can be made active at any time.
Active Presets are limited to a range. The default is for all 99 Presets active. You
can limit the number of active Presets, by setting the active range in System
Mode. For example, if you set the lower limit to 5 and the upper limit to 10,
Presets from 5 through 10 will be active. By logically grouping your Presets, you
can get through a song or set without having to click through all 99 Presets.
Remember, when saving Presets, group them to best suit your needs.
The factory default is set for 99 active Presets. To limit the number of active
Presets:
1) Press and hold the HOTKNOB button and Right Footswitch
simultaneously for a few seconds to enter System Mode.
2) Turn the Knob until [UTILS] is displayed.
3) Momentarily press the HOTKNOB button.
4) Turn the Knob until [PRESET] is displayed.
5) Momentarily press the HOTKNOB button. [Lxx.Hxx] is displayed.
6) Press the Left Footswitch and turn the Knob to set the lower limit.
