Magic Load Preset
This feature lets a MIDI command load banks from the hard disk. The “Magic Preset” is a preset number that causes the next preset change command to load that bank number from the hard disk. Therefore, to load a hard disk bank over MIDI, send two program change commands, the Magic Preset and the bank number. As an example, if the Magic Preset is set at “P85,” and the Emulator receives a preset change command of 85 followed by a preset change command of 11, the Emulator loads bank 11 from the current drive and folder on the current hard disk. The Magic Preset can be turned off or set to any preset number from 0 to 127.
v To Set the Magic Preset
1.Press the Master button. The LED illuminates and the Memory Statistics screen appears.
2.Press the MIDI function key (F6). The MIDI Globals sub menu appears.
3.Press the Prefs 2 function key (F5). The MIDI Preferences 2 submenu appears.
4.Move the cursor to Magic Load Preset using the cursor buttons or the F3 function key.
5.Set the Magic Preset using the Data Entry Control, or INC/DEC buttons.
