Preset / Store
R2M has available 16 presets that are used to store and call up 16 different settings
of all parameters. The buttons Preset and Store are used to control these functions.
Principle: Once a preset has been called up it is loaded into the so-called work-buffer.
This buffer contains the currently active set of parameters. Only the parameters of
the work-buffer can be modified. In order to modify a preset it has to be called up (i.e.
loaded into the work-buffer), modified while residing in the work memory and then be
stored again in its modified form.
The Preset button is used to call up one of the 16 user presets. Operating this button
initiates the call up of a preset. The display shows the number of the preset that is
about to be loaded into the work-buffer and the LEDs 1-5 light up to indicate the
pending call up process. The desired preset number can be chosen with the up/down
buttons. As soon as the desired preset number is selected the Preset button has to
be operated once again to transfer all parameters of the selected preset into the work
buffer.
CAUTION! When a preset is called up the content of the work memory is overwritten.
If you want to keep the parameter set that is currently in the work buffer it has to be
stored to a free preset number before another preset is called up!
If the Preset button was operated wrongly one simply has to operate any other button
(except the Preset and the up/dwon buttons) to leave the Preset menu.
The Store button is used to store the work-buffer into one of the 16 presets.
Operating this button initiates the storage of a preset. The display shows the number
of the preset that is about to be overwritten by the content of the work-buffer and the
LEDs 1-5 light up to indicate the pending storage process. The desired preset
number can be chosen with the up/down buttons. As soon as the desired preset
number is selected the Store button has to be operated once again to transfer all
parameters from the work-buffer into the selected preset.
CAUTION! Any preset stored at that location will be overwritten, i.e. it will be
irretrievably lost! Store presets only in locations that do not contain presets which are
still needed.
If the Store button was operated wrongly one simply has to operate any other button
(except the Store and the up/dwon buttons) to leave the Store menu.
Factory settings
So far the 16 presets do not contain meaningful settings from the factory (as of
October 2004). This may be changed in the future. Please refer to current user's
guide if your R2M does already contain preset data. The current user's guide is
available for download on our web site www.doepfer.com.
After power on the R2M has the default settings listed in the Menu / parameter
overview on page 9. If own user presets are not yet available these default settings
can be used as a starting point to program own settings and store them as a user
preset into one of the 16 memory locations.
