    Moving Clusters of Presets

    Hello I'm wondering if I can move several Presets at once. For example: Can I move let's say Presets 1 through 10 up to 401 to 410? Or better yet; Presets 1, 4, 9, 11, 15, 16, 17, 20, 24 and 29 up to 401 though 410? So like a select, copy and paste. Thanks much! :)

    Is there a way to make it scroll through the presets faster? Right now it will only go about 10 at a time with a spin, which obviously make iit quite a trip to got to preset 350. It goes very fast when storing a preset so I assume there must be an adjustment but I can't find it. Thanks :)
