Using Presets In Focusrite Control 2; Saving A New Preset; Overwriting A Preset - Focusrite Scarlett 16i16 User Manual

Using Presets in Focusrite Control 2

Presets give you a way to quickly restore settings for your Scarlett. You can change the settings
to suit a particular session or set up and save this as a nameable preset. Next time you need to
recall those settings, you can Load the preset.
Presets contain the following settings:
• Input settings per channel:
• Input Gain
• +48V
• Inst
• Safe mode
• Air mode.
• Mixer settings
• Mix destination (Routed to →)
• Pan and balance
• Fader levels
• Mute and Solo states.
Note
Focusrite Control 2 saves presets to the computer you're using when you save it.
However, your Scarlett keeps its settings for use with a different computer or in
standalone mode.
Saving a Preset
The first step of using Presets in Focusrite Control 2 is changing some settings. Once you've set up
Focusrite Control 2 with some settings you want to recall in future, you can save a preset. There
are two ways to save a preset: saving a New Preset or Overwrite an existing preset.

Saving a New Preset

1. Tweak the settings for your Scarlett in Focusrite Control 2.
2. Click the Presets button in the bottom left of Focusrite Control 2.
3. Click the New Preset button.
4. Type the name of your preset in the Preset Name field. Make sure the name is useful so
you can find and reuse it later.
5. Click Save Preset.
Once you've saved the preset, the name of the preset shows in the bottom left corner of Focusrite
Control 2. If you change any setting while you're in that preset, the name shows an asterisk *.
When the name shows an asterisk * you can either create a new preset using the steps above, or
you can overwrite the preset with the new changes.

Overwriting a Preset

1. Tweak the settings of an existing preset so an asterisk * appears next to the Preset
name.
2. Click the Presets button in the bottom left of Focusrite Control 2.
