Presets and Export

Save complete groove state, share banks, export MIDI, render WAV, and reset safely.

Factory and user presets

Factory presets are Vibing, Glitch, Waves, Let's Ride, Cruising, and Resonate. Banks A-D provide 24 user preset slots. A preset saves the full groove state, not only the current pattern.

Preset state

  • Steps, sound assignments, pitch, probability, CND, timing, ratchets, pattern, length, selected tab, and page.
  • Record quantize, mutes, solos, routing, automation, delay sync, ping-pong, and MIDI output settings.

Exports

  • Export Bank shares a preset bank; Import Bank restores one.
  • Export MIDI writes format-0 channel-10 notes using TEMPO-1's fixed primary voice map. It includes velocity, swing, micro-timing, and ratchets.
  • MIDI export does not use OUTPUT/MAP, mute/solo, pitch, PROB, CND, or FX.
  • Loop WAV renders and peak-normalizes one fresh pass. Use Capture to preserve a performed PROB/CND result and its output level.
