There is a new "FactoryPreset" folder that includes all CPS files that are shipped with the program.
They can be loaded with "Add new" but cannot be overwritten. Therefore, program patches won't overwrite customer's presets with identical names any more.
Saving of controls without assigned function possible

Touch and Push-Handling for Track-, Marker- and SlotSelectController added
EQ function display changed from Gain0..3, Freq0..3,... to Gain1..4, Freq1..4...

Hardware controls can be assigned to a fixed function. Function Select Dialog: "Global track". This way you can e.g. assign a certain fader to control track 3 all the time, independent of bank changes on the controller.
Touch and push controls can be assigned with Drag&Drop to their main controls
Modifier assignment of controls is now visible in the list
Righ-click on column "Fix Function", assigned Easy Learn function can be removed. Control based „Apply Fix Function" added.
