Navigating Presets
There are two banks of presets in the Element/Element XP: the user preset bank and the factory
preset bank. From the factory, the user and factory preset banks will contain the same presets.
Therefore, factory preset 45 will be the same as user preset 45 and so on. User presets appear
in the LED display as
1-100 and factory presets appear as F1-F00. Preset banks will automatically
round-robin when navigating. In other words, navigating one preset above user preset
100 will
select factory preset
F1 in the factory preset bank. Navigating one preset below user preset 1 will
select factory preset
F00 (factory preset 100) in the factory preset bank.
To navigate presets:
1. From Play Mode, press the UP FOOTSWITCH to navigate up through presets or the DOWN
FOOTSWITCH
to navigate down through presets. You can also navigate presets by turning
the
SELECT knob.
Editing Presets
The Element Series processors have been engineered to give you more options for shaping your
sounds. Of course you can navigate presets to find sounds which will get you started, and then
edit the effects from there to fine tune your sounds–this is standard operation when using effect
processors. But there is another layer of options available in the Element processors... Banks.
There are two Banks available: Tone Banks and FX Banks. Each of these Banks give you a library of
20 pre-set configurations, allowing you to quickly audition different "tones" without affecting your
"effects" chain or vice versa. Using this "coarse" and "fine" editing environment, you can quickly
experiment with many different sound-shaping options and go only as deep into editing as you
feel comfortable with.
