The MIDI MateTM automatically stores the choices that the user makes to make it easier for the user to edit parameters. The STORE button does not store the choices in the editing mode - it has no function in the editing mode. The parameters which can be edited include: titles, MIDI channels, assignable controller numbers and additional patch changes. The MIDI MateTM incorporates a unique editing feature using the EDIT PRESET SELECT buttons. These buttons allow the user to change the preset that is being edited without leaving the editing mode. Anytime that the 2ND LED is lit, the EDIT PRESET SELECT buttons will increment ("á") or decrement ("â") the current preset by one. These buttons may also be held down to scroll through the presets. This feature allows the user to enter the edit mode, do all the editing necessary for all the presets, then exit the edit mode with the least number of buttons pressed. [. . . ] Allow the scrolling to finish to enter the Programmable Patch Changes edit mode. Once the scrolling has finished, "SET2" will appear. This is where additional patch changes may be programmed to be sent along with SET1's patch change. SET1 is the patch change that is displayed by the three character numeric display. [. . . ]
