Factory Presets

added: presets for all pitch shifter effects are automatically imported during

Warning: A small number of pitch shifter parameters will be reset to their default
value, because we had to change their internal location for better compatibility
with lock and presets. These are mainly parameters of the Harmonic Shift, so it's
no big deal. The scales are not touched. Before upgrading the operating system
those parameters have to be written down and readjusted after the update. These are
the parameters in question: Smooth Chords, Voice 1 Interval, Voice 2 Interval, and
Key.
Warning: Assignment of an expression pedal directly connected and configured as Wah
pedal needs to be renewed after upgrading to and downgrading from this operating
system.
