4.2.6 – PRESET
The [PRESET] button is used to enter and exit “Preset Selection Mode”. This mode
handles selecting, saving, and resetting K-Mix presets.
4.2.6.1 – SELECTING A PRESET
Selecting a preset will load that preset’s settings on K-Mix, overwriting the current state of the mixer.
To select a preset on K-Mix:
1. Press and release the [PRESET] button. The [PRESET] button and the currently selected preset’s
button will light up bright. You are now in Preset Selection Mode.
2. Press one of the 12 mode buttons labelled A–L to select that preset. The button will blink a few
times to indicate a selection has been made.
3. That is all. The preset’s contents will be loaded immediately and you will automatically be taken
out of Preset Selection Mode — K-Mix will return to whatever mode you were in prior to selecting a
preset.
If, after entering Preset Selection Mode, you decide you do not want to change presets, pressing
the [PRESET] button again will exit Preset Selection Mode and return you to the mode you were in
previously.
Some special behaviors occur when selecting a preset from the mixer hardware while connected to the
K-Mix Editor. These are detailed in the Preset Library section.
4.2.6.2 – SAVING A PRESET
Presets can be saved directly from the K-Mix hardware. Saving a preset will overwrite one of the 12
available preset slots with the current state of K-Mix’s parameters.
To save a preset on K-Mix:
1. Press and release the [PRESET] button. The [PRESET] button and the currently selected preset’s
button will light up bright. You are now in Preset Selection Mode.
2. Press and hold the [SHIFT] button. All of the 12 mode buttons labelled A–L will light up bright.
3. While [SHIFT] is still held down, press one of the lit up mode buttons (labelled A–L) to save to its
associated preset slot. The selected button will blink to show that the save has been performed.
4. If desired, you can continue saving K-Mix’s current settings to other preset slots by holding down
the [SHIFT] button and pressing other mode buttons.
5. Once you are done saving presets, release the [SHIFT] button.
6. Exit Preset Selection Mode by pressing the [PRESET] button, which will return you to the currently
selected preset, or press one of the 12 mode buttons labelled A–L to select and load that preset
(and automatically exit Preset Selection Mode).
When saving a preset, only “per preset” parameters are stored in the preset. “Global” parameters are
not stored as part of the presets. For more information on “global” vs. “per preset” parameters, please
see section 5.1.1.10 – “Global” Parameters vs. “Per Preset” Parameters.
