Getting to know VL3X
VL3X – Reference manual (updated 2015-07-16) 47
Using Preset Genres and Favorites
If you are playing classical pop, you may not
care much for Presets that have been optimized
for Alternative rock – and vice versa. And if you
have created or fine-tuned ten Presets for your
show, you may now want to scroll through the
hundreds of other Presets that you are working
with in the studio. Genres to the rescue!
As described earlier, the Genre feature allows
you to filter the Presets in VL3X based on the
musical genre or primary effect.
Using Genres
► Tap the Genre button.
► Use the Mix Knob to scroll through available
Preset Genres.
► When you have found a Genre you would like
to explore, tap the Genre button again to con-
firm and exit.
Pressing any other button – like HOME – to
exit Genre selection mode will not select the
current Genre. Make sure you use the Genre
button to exit the menu and confirm your se-
lection. The Genre button will be flashing to
remind you to press it.
After selecting a Genre, you will notice that
scrolling through Presets gives you fewer op-
tions than before. Presets are now filtered and
only show options contained in your chosen
Genre.
To return to seeing all Presets:
► Tap the Genre button.
► Use the Mix Knob to change the Genre to “All”.
► Press Genre again to exit.
Using Favorites
There is a special Genre called
Favorite which you can assign
Presets to. Favorites can be used to quickly
make a set-list or showcase of Presets, helping
you to navigate more quickly through VL3X.
► To add a Preset to the Favorite Genre, sim-
ply press the Control Knob down while on the
home screen.
A small “FAV” tag will be shown in the bottom
right corner of the display, indicating that the
current Preset is now flagged as a Favorite.
If you now enter the Genre menu and select
the “Favorite” Genre, only Presets that you
have selected as Favorites will be available
as you change Presets – just as with other
Genres.
► To remove the Favorite flag from a Preset, sim-
ply press the Control Knob again.
