Exporting or backing up presets with Global Blocks

  • When backing up a preset with global blocks, you also always need to backup the System too, to get access to the global data.

Modifier parameters and controller settings not stored in Global Blocks

  • Modifier settings are not saved within Global Blocks. The same goes for controllers settings. You can use Effect Recall to copy controller settings from one preset to another.

Saving On/Off state

  • As of firmware 6.00 the state (On/Off) of a Global block is saved per preset. This means you can set Global Block #1 Off in one preset, and On in another.

Before 6.x the On/Off state was shared by all presets.

  • If you want global control of the bypass state of an effect block (pre 6.0-behavior), here's a solution:
    1. Attach the Bypass parameter of the effect block to an External controller.
    2. In the I/O menu, switch the External controller between 0% or 100% to change the effect's Bypass state. Or assign a switch on your foot controller to the MIDI CC of the External Controller to switch the block.
    3. This works with global and non-global blocks, and across all presets with the same effect block.
