again by selecting [Configuration>Store to Device] from the “Control Pins” window menu.
3. When you are finished selecting presets from the PC, select [Disable] again to restore preset selection
control to the control pins.

There is a drop-down menu to the right of each connection block. Click and hold
with the mouse to select from the list of available hardware connections. Select
[Moment] for a momentary switch or [Pot] for a potentiometer.
