If I want to combine a CX piano and an organ having the the magic knob blend the two or solo each. I want the control wheel to bring in rotary speakers. This will require turning off the controls to the CX-piano and the organ. Am I only changing the copy in the new performance, or does it affect the original. I can guess the answer but I want to make sure before I proceed.
The only operation that can reach the factory presets is a firmware update. And firmware updates will only be adding more presets and not removing previous ones. Loading backups isn't going to alter your presets. Initializing the keyboard won't either. Changing parameters cannot because you cannot store to the (outside of a firmware update) read-only memory where the presets are stored.
Past keyboards would have factory content in user areas you could overwrite and then you might be concerned about losing factory content when overwritten by your own saves. This is not the design of Montage/MODX. Your saved content is in a totally separate memory area dedicated to user content.
Everyone with the same firmware level has the exact same factory preset content and not one parameter is or can be different. No matter what they knowingly or unknowingly do.
