Preset Switching with Program Change

1. In Settings > MIDI, make sure "MIDI Program Change Loads Standalone Presets" is enabled (it's on by default)

2. Send a Program Change message from your controller

3. Presets are loaded in alphabetical order

4. When this setting is off, Program Change messages only affect plugins

Note: When this setting is on, Program Change messages will load a Standalone preset AND be forwarded to your plugins. If a plugin also responds to Program Change (e.g., Helix Native), both will change presets simultaneously. This will be updated in the next version.

Tips

• If your pedalboard controls multiple devices, set a specific MIDI channel so Standalone only responds to messages intended for it

• Host MIDI mappings are saved globally — they persist across presets and app restarts

• The green dot next to MIDI in Settings pulses when MIDI messages are received — use this to verify your controller is connected
