Overview

The preset list only allows you to change attributes; no editing can be done directly in list view. Pressing the {Edit} softkey takes you to the blind view of the selected preset, in the last format you used in blind. This will allow you to edit the preset. You can change the blind display to spreadsheet or table view by pressing the [Format] key.

You can navigate the preset list using [Next] and [Last].

Indicators for absolute (A), locked (L), and by type (T+) display to the right of the preset number.

In the by type channels column, any channel number with an asterisk indicates that the channel does not have any by type data stored to it.

You can copy presets within the list to another location in the list using [Copy To].

  • <Preset> [2] [Copy To] [9] [Enter] [Enter] - copies the contents of preset 2 to preset 9. Preset 2 will remain in the list. The second [Enter] is not required if you have disabled confirmations in setup.

You can also use [Copy To] from palettes to presets.

Move To

You can move presets within the preset list using Move To, which is accessed by pressing the [Copy To] button twice.

  • <Preset> [3] [Copy To] [Copy To] [8] [Enter] [Enter] - moves preset 3 to preset 8. Preset 3 will be removed from the list. The second [Enter] is not required if you have disabled confirmations in setup.

You can also move data from a palette to a preset and vice versa. It is important to remember that when using the Move To command that data is removed from its current location and moved to its new location.
