ME-80 patch import issue

Post by dfelicia » Sat Dec 27, 2014 5:12 pm

Hi, my 12 year old got an ME-80 for Xmas and we're trying to import a couple of Metallica patches from this site: http://guitarpatches.com/patches.php?unit=ME80

When we import them to the ME-80 software they appear in library. After dragging to a user bank, the red light for the chosen preset on the ME-80 blinks rapidly. We've figured out it's in some kind of recording mode. Pressing the pedal takes it out of that mode and the patch is there.

The problem is that every time we change to a different preset and then go back to our newly saved one it enters in that same recording mode. In practice that means he has to stomp the pedal twice to play that preset.

I'm sure we're doing something wrong in the software. (When we save tones from Boss' tone central they work as expected.)

Anyone know what we're doing wrong?
