Re: using presets on the echoplex

[Terry Blankenship <electricgypsys@yahoo.com>]

Hi Kim,

Thanks. My reasoning was that if I wanted everything
to have an 8th cycle of 8 except one, and I had one of
the functions set with a preset using an 16 on the
8ths cycle, that if I switched to it and then switch
back, the preset would stay on that preset with the
8th cycle still set to 16, unless I had all the other
functions set with a program change to return to a
preset with the 8th cycle set to 8. Is my logic
illogical here?

All the very best!
Terry
