Finally v1.0.5 of PackOne is available in the Library!
I created another crazy module for my collection, called 8FACE. It’s upcoming release was already “leaked” in the last issue of News of The Rack
8FACE is an universal expander module, that allows you to store, recall and sequence up to eight presets of the module to its left.
The full manual:
# stoermelder 8FACE and 8FACEx2
8FACE is a module for storing, recalling and sequencing up to eight different presets of any module in Rack. It uses Rack's expander mechanism to attach to any module to its side and uses buttons and LEDs to manage each of its preset-slot. 8FACEx2 offers sixteen preset slots.
**Disclaimer: Loading presets of modules was not designed to be controlled by CV or modulated at audio rate. Please do not contact the developers of Rack or any modules when unexpected behaviour (i.e. crashes) occurs or high CPU usage is noticeable.**

## Usage
Place 8FACE on the right side next to the module you like to manage. The triangle shaped LED begins to flash if a connection is established successfully. You can detach 8FACE and re-attach to another instance of the same module. When you place 8FACE next to a module and the LED turns red it means it had been configured for another model. In this case you can either check the model on the context menu or initialize 8FACE to its initial state. Since v1.2.0 you can place 8FACE on the left side of a module after changing the according setting on the context menu.
## Write-mode
Write-mode is used to save presets in 8FACE. You enter write mode by flipping the switch on the bottom to the "W"-position. To store a preset simply configure your module next to 8FACE and then short press a slot-button numbered 1 to 8. The LEDs next to the slot-button turn red when a slot is already in use. To clear a slot long-press a button. In write-mode any input on the SLOT-port is ignored and sequencing is disabled.
