Preset Mode 
 
In Preset Mode, you can load, save, copy, and rename Presets. A Preset is a 
collection of information about how the faders, knobs, buttons, and pads will 
behave. Using Presets allows you to save different configurations so you can 
load them quickly without reprogramming the MPK249 every time. This is also 
the default "performance mode."

To save or copy a Preset: 
Note: Saving and copying a Preset are mostly the same operation. The difference is that

it to a different Preset number.
