Bome MIDI Translator: User's Manual 7 The Preset

Presets can be activated via Preset Change action by one of three primary

methods:

Activate Previous/Next Preset

This outgoing action will cycle through the available presets in order,

activating only one at a time. Presets must be arranged in the order of

which the user desires to cycle them on and off. This is normally the

preferred way of cycling through presets.

Activate/Deactivate By Name

This action will activate/deactivate a preset that is selected by name

from a drop-down box. This is useful for most simple preset setups

involving few presets. Features that involve key commands can be

enabled/disabled on the fly so as not to interfere with regular

keyboard operation when not needed.

Activate/Deactivate By Number

Presets can be enabled or disabled by number, which can be specified

by a unique local or global variable (see the rules section for more

information). This outgoing preset change action is useful for more

complex MIDI Translator scripts that have many presets and change

them on-the-fly depending on other Translator settings and variable

states. Note that the first preset has number 0, the second preset

number 1, and so on.

Presets also have the checkbox option available to 'Deactivate all other

presets (except the always active)'. This can be enabled in any Preset

Change outgoing action to automatically disable all other presets (except, of

course, the 'always active' preset). With that function, you can easily cycle

through a set of presets.
