About Presets
A preset is a preset file (.h88) containing all of the MIDI control assignments you make in this editor. Using presets lets
you maintain several different control configurations to use in different situations. For instance, you may use different
presets with different kinds of software, or you may use some presets for production and others for performance.
Your Hammer 88 keyboard can store one preset at a time, though you can store additional presets on your computer
to load onto your Hammer 88 keyboard using this editor.
This chapter explains how to load presets into the editor (Loading & Retrieving Presets), save presets onto your
computer (Saving Presets), and send presets to your connected Hammer 88 keyboard (Sending Presets).
Loading & Retrieving Presets
To edit a preset, you first have to load it into the Hammer 88 Editor. You can load a preset from your computer or
retrieve a preset from your connected Hammer 88 keyboard’s internal memory (RAM).
To load a preset from your computer, do one of the following:
• Click File and then click Load Preset.
• Press Ctrl+O (Windows) or Control+O (macOS).
After that, locate the desired preset file (.h88), and click Open.
To retrieve a preset from your connected Hammer 88, click File and then click Retrieve Preset. Alternatively,
press Ctrl+Shift+R (Windows) or Control+Shift+R (macOS).
Important: Editing this preset will not affect the preset stored on your Hammer 88. See Sending Presets below to
learn how to send the edited preset to your Hammer 88.
Saving Presets
Saving a preset on your computer lets you edit it or send it to your Hammer 88 in the future. All MIDI assignments
that you see in the editor will be saved in the preset.
To save the preset, do one of the following:
• Click File and then click Save Preset.
• Press Ctrl+S (Windows) or Control+S (macOS).
If this is the first time you are saving the preset, select the desired location, enter a file name, and click Save. The
preset will be saved as an .h88 file.
Sending Presets
Sending a preset to your connected Hammer 88 lets you transfer the preset from the editor to your Hammer 88
keyboard’s internal memory (RAM). All MIDI assignments that you see in the editor will be sent to your Hammer 88.
To send a preset to your connected Hammer 88:
1. Click File and then click Send Preset. Alternatively, press Ctrl+Shift+S (Windows) or Control+Shift+S (macOS).
2. Click Send to confirm your choice, or click the X in the upper-right corner to close the window and cancel the
operation. (Sending the preset will overwrite the preset on your Hammer 88.)
