Project Sets

Save a whole device loadout as one named Set, and load it back in a single action

Overview

Your EP holds nine projects at a time. A Project Set is a named, ordered collection of up to nine projects, a complete device load you can save once and drop back onto the device whenever you need it. Think of it as a preset for the whole machine, rather than one project at a time.

Project Sets is a top-level tool in the sidebar, under Library. It builds on your Project Library: a Set is a list of projects from that library, held in the order they load onto the device (starting at slot P01). Project Sets is a Pro feature and works with the EP-40, EP-133 and EP-1320.

Capture your device as a Set

The quickest way to make your first Set is to grab what’s already loaded. With your device connected, click Capture Device, give the Set a name, and EP-PatchStudio reads the nine slots into your library and builds a Set from them in one step. Whatever you had loaded is now saved, named and ready to bring back any time.

Build a Set by hand

You can also assemble a Set from projects already in your library:

1. Click New Set and give it a name you’ll recognise (“Friday headline”, not P01-P09).
2. Use Add projects to pull projects in from your library.
3. Reorder them with the up and down arrows. Order matters: projects load onto the device starting at slot P01, so put them in your running order.

Rename a Set with the pencil icon, or remove one with the trash icon. A Set holds at most nine projects, the same as the device.

Projects are references

A Set links to projects in your library, it doesn’t copy them. If a project you added later gets deleted from the library, the Set flags it as (missing) rather than silently dropping it, so you always know what’s changed.

Load a Set onto the device

Click Load to Device and the whole Set streams onto the device in order. Because that overwrites the nine slots, EP-PatchStudio offers a safety net first:

• Full device backup (recommended): takes a complete, one-click-restorable backup into your in-app backup library before loading. This option is on the desktop app.
• Snapshot projects to my library: saves whatever is currently on the device as a new Set, so nothing you had loaded is lost.
• Skip: loads straight over the top with no guard. Only use this if you know the current load is already saved.

Pick your safety option and confirm with Back up & Load, Snapshot & Load or Load Anyway.

Back up a Set

Back up Set exports every project in the Set to a single .zip file on your computer. That’s handy for archiving a finished live set, or moving a loadout to another machine.
