3.1.4 Nav Pad
In the Basic Editor, the Nav Pad’s behavior is not customizable (aside from the CC
number). In each preset, the Nav Pad behaves as though it is set to Y Inc —!pressing
up on the Nav Pad will increment the CC value (between 0-127), and pressing
down on the Nav Pad will decrement the CC value. Great for controlling faders,
sliders, and knobs.
The CC number the Nav Pad is sending on can be changed using the Nav Pad CC #
option in the Settings area.
3.1.5 Menu Bar Options
There are a number of useful functions and settings that can be accessed via the menu bar at the top of
the screen (Mac OS) or at the top of the application window (Windows). Manage presets, copy/paste

The File menu contains options related to exporting/importing files.

file can later be imported to the Basic Editor. Great for backups and moving presets to another
computer!
