Load a previously saved MIDI profile

Loading a saved profile replaces the current bindings with those stored under that profile name, letting you switch between controller configurations without re-learning every binding.

Before you start

Steps

  1. In the Profile: combo box, select the name of the profile you want to load. If the list is empty, no profiles have been saved yet.
  2. Click Load.

The current bindings are replaced with the bindings stored in the selected profile. The Bindings table updates immediately to show the loaded bindings.

What each control does

Control Kind Behavior
Profile: Combo box Picks a saved MIDI mapping profile to load or save. Editable.
Load Button Replaces current bindings with those from the selected profile.
Bindings table List Displays the bindings now active after the load.

Category filter options

The Category combo box filters the Parameter list to show only controls from a specific group. Available categories:

  • All
  • RX
  • TX
  • Phone/CW
  • EQ
  • Global
  • Mode
  • Band
  • Filter
  • Slice
  • Display
  • Frequency

Selecting a category limits the Parameter combo box to entries in that group, making it easier to find the control you want to bind.

Parameter options

The Parameter combo box contains all available parameters for binding. In v26.6.1, three momentary (Gate) actions are available in the Phone/CW category:

  • Trigger straight key (id: cwkey)
  • Trigger CW Left Paddle (id: cwdit)
  • Trigger CW Right Paddle (id: cwdah)

Legacy dotted IDs (cw.key, cw.dit, cw.dah) are automatically migrated to the new format when loading old profiles.

Tips

  • The Profile: combo box is editable. If you type a name that does not match a saved profile and click Load, nothing is loaded — no error is shown and the current bindings remain unchanged.
  • After loading, the loaded bindings are immediately persisted as the active bindings. You do not need to click Save again to keep them active for the current session.

Troubleshooting

  • Load is clicked but the Bindings table does not change — The profile name in the Profile: combo box does not match any saved profile, or the name field is empty. Select a name from the dropdown list rather than typing it manually.
  • Profile: list is empty — No profiles have been saved. See Save the current mapping as a named profile.
