Put a preset on the pedal

Before starting, choose a slot you can overwrite, connect the correct output, and match the channel. Save a named cloud preset so Nitelite can keep track of the assignment.

Load your named preset. Confirm the sound reaches the pedal. If you changed physical knobs or reconnected since loading, Sync to Pedal sends the on-screen settings again.

For a pedal whose save is entirely physical, this step matters: the save dialog does not send the settings for you.

Click Write to pedal in the header. In the Hardware panel, the equivalent action is Write to Slot. The action needs a loaded or saved named preset and a pedal with configured slot support.

Pick the target slot. Check the overwrite warning and read the complete instructions before confirming.

Simulated example BigSky requires a physical save. Done records your assignment after you have saved on the hardware.
  1. Choose a slot you can overwrite.
  2. Read the hardware instructions before confirming. On BigSky, Done only records your completed physical save.

Follow the dialog for your exact pedal. It may ask you to hold a footswitch, enter save mode, or save using the pedal’s controls. Keep any required control held while you confirm the app’s step.

A completed dialog or an entry in the Hardware panel is not proof that the pedal stored the sound.

Recall a different, known slot, then return to the slot you just wrote. Play the same phrase and listen for the expected sound. Do this before relying on it at rehearsal or a show.

If it recalls the wrong sound, check the MIDI channel, slot/bank numbering, and physical save procedure. Revisit troubleshooting.

Updating a cloud preset does not rewrite hardware memory. Load the new version, repeat the save procedure, and verify the recall again. Treat the Hardware panel as your notebook of assignments, not an automatic backup of everything inside the pedal.
