• 04.02 Saving Presets

  • Press Save to enter save mode. From there you can save to the current slot or another location, change the category, or rename the preset.

  • Note/Info Press Save again to cancel; the display shows “Save Cancelled.” To save changes in the current slot, hold Save until the display shows “Preset saved.”
    

  • To use another slot, turn the encoder to select a location and press it. When the display shows “Click to save,” choose one of the eleven categories: bass, brass, keys, lead, organ, pad, percussion, sequence, sfx, strings, or template.
  • Press the encoder again to name the preset. The Save button blinks while you enter the name. Turn the encoder to cycle through uppercase letters, lowercase letters, then the digits 0–9; turn it all the way left to enter a space.
  • Push and turn the Preset encoder to edit a character in an existing name. Hold Shift while turning the encoder to scroll through characters faster.
  • Click to accept each character and move to the next field. When the name is complete, press Save to store the preset.
  • Saving a preset stores the knob positions, sequences, modulation tracks, and Utility settings specific to that preset.
  • To arrange presets for a song, place them in consecutive slots in MIDI Control Center, then load the reordered presets into the MicroFreak.
  • The Template category holds presets you want to explore further. Use one as a starting point, then save variations in other slots.
  • On startup, the MicroFreak loads the most recently saved preset.

  • Note/Info Chord settings and the last-used chord are saved with a preset. Spice & Dice settings are not.
    

  • Note/Warning If the display says “Memory protect is on,” set Utility > Misc > Mem Protect to Off.
