Re: Same Prese, different Patterns?

2001-12-05 by ellmu

thanks a lot, 
I understand you but my problem is that I don`t know where to save 
the new preset without erasing other presets.
...wait
oh, I`m really silly. 
I have to search and edit my presets under XL-7 in the preset menu 
and then I can save them in the user menu in any location I want to. 
it doesn`t matter if I erase a preset in the user location because I 
have the original in the XL-7 location. Is this right?
thanks
gerald 

another question:
why does it takes four bars to start my programmed modulation?
