The Preset section allows you to save, recall, and send presets to the K-Board Pro 4� The K-Board Pro 4 

can hold up to 4 presets� Presets can be selected by sending Program Change Messages to the K-Board 

Pro 4 from software or hardware� Simply send a program change message 0-3 on any channel to select 

one of the 4 on board presets (coming in firmware version 1.1).  Presets can also be selected from any 

slider�
Select a preset with the menu at the top� Once selected in the Editor, the preset will also be loaded onto 

the device� There are buttons for choosing a destination on the K-Board Pro 4 (destination 1 is selected 

by default), sending the preset to a slot on the K-Board Pro 4, saving the preset, saving the preset as a 

copy, reverting the preset, and deleting the preset� 
When a preset is “dirty” (meaning the preset has been changed without saving) the revert button will be 

red� 
When you are able to save a preset, the Save button will be red� 

When saving as a copy, preset names are limited to 32 characters� When retrieving presets from 

the device, the name will be prepended by “on-device”� Similarly, user and factory presets will be 

prepended by their appropriate identifier.  
The Editor can store an unlimited amount of presets, and you can import and export presets using the 

File Menu.  You can also import user presets by dragging and dropping .json files onto the Presets box. 

As long as there are no naming conflicts or duplicates, the preset(s) will be imported. 

You cannot save or overwrite a factory preset� Use the Save As function to 

create a user preset�
