OffGrid comes with 16 Factory presets on board to help you start your musical journey!
The Factory Presets are grouped into four Columns and arranged by numbers to the correspondingly numbered PADS in those columns.
You can hold the SHIFTER 1 button to display the currently active PRESET and its position in the Factory Bank.
Changing a preset is as easy as hitting a PAD while holding the SHIFTER 1 button.
The preset groupings are as follows:
INS - Instruments
Presets in the 1st column - Presets 1, 5, 9, 13 are best suited for playing dynamic Instruments (such as Piano, Rhodes, Bassline Leads, Pads, etc…).
DRM - Drums
Presets in the 2nd column - Presets 2, 6, 10, 14 are intended for playing Drums and percussion Instruments.
MTN - Motion
Presets in the 3rd column - Presets 3, 7, 11, 15 are intended for modulation using OffGrid’S Motion Controller.
MPE - MIDI Polyphonic Expression
Presets in the 4th column - Presets 4, 8, 12, 16 are intended for MPE compatible Apps.
INS - Instruments
INS-Default (Pad 1)
This preset is the default for playing OffGrid, it will be loaded initially when connecting to a host device.

DRM - Drums
DRM-Default (Pad 2)
This is the default preset for playing GM Drum Mapped drums and beat-making themed Apps using OffGrid’s Motion Controller. This preset is particularly useful for motion control of the Filter effect in the Koala Sampler App due to a Joined-axis behavior of the Motion Controller and a quasi center-detent MIDI value in OffGrid's absolute horizontal position.

Good starting points :-) What MIDI Channel are the presets set to? Is it just MIDI channel 1 (except for the MPE of course)
Good point, thank you Andrew! All channels on the above presets except for MPE are set to CH1 by default. As soon as the WebEditor is launched those can be changed to anything else on a preset level.
I notice one thing that is quite weird and yet I kind of understand the purpose but think it should be different. That is the octaves up and down. I play keys so I could understand why it only moves 12 semi tones. I think that it should move 16 on this device because its less confusing on where you are when you go an octave up or down.
