Fast answer
Mother-32 does not save sound presets. Recreate the knob positions and cable patch separately from recalling the sequence.
Try these checks
- Confirm that the expected sequence has been selected.
- Restore the knob positions and patch cables from your notes or patch sheet.
- Compare the sound again; save the sequence separately from recording its sound settings.
Diagnose it
Did you expect sequence recall to restore the knobs?
Yes: Use a patch sheet; those settings are not saved as presets.
No: Check the recorded patch against the physical controls and cables.
What should happen
The sequence and manually restored patch reproduce their respective parts of the setup.
Why this happens
Moog distinguishes its 64 sequence memories from unavailable sound-preset storage.
If it still doesn’t work
