Resetting and Comparing Changes to a Patch
You can reset changes to all parameters in a patch that are mapped to screen controls
to their last saved value, letting you hear the patch in its last saved (original) state, and
toggle between the original and modified states of the patch. There are two ways to reset
and compare changes to a patch: by using the Reset/Compare Patch button in the toolbar
or by using the Reset/Compare Patch action mapped to a screen control at the concert
level.

1 With the patch selected, click the Reset/Compare Patch button.
The patch is reset to its previously saved state.
2 To hear the patch in its modified state, click the Reset/Compare Patch button.
To reset and compare changes using the Reset/Compare action
1 In Layout mode, add a button screen control to your layout.
2 Assign a button on your hardware controller to the new button screen control.
3 In Edit mode, click the concert icon in the Patch List.
