Linked preset and output
Tap PRESET ▸ at the right of the song title and choose a bank and preset to link a preset to the song; picking the song then opens that preset too. None removes the link. Opening a preset does not change the song. Backing tracks play on the output pair chosen under Backing Track Output in Settings; on an interface with four or more outputs you can choose OUT 3/4 to send them to the PA separately from the guitar. With MR on under iCloud, songs and cues sync to your other devices together with their audio.
Caution Only add recordings you have the right to use.
