Hello James ....(and all)..THANK YOU James for FINALLY clearing up a
question that till now, nobody else would help me with. Now I have an
understanding as to what Serge was up to ! The last button pressed
becomes the "Preset Address" and this address is loaded whenever
the "Preset" input jack is pulsed high !!!

There you have it boys and girls :)

Cheers....Dean.
