MFC1 Serum/Serum2 Profile Guide

Setting up the MFC1 follows slightly different steps and file locations depending on if you are running Serum or Serum 2.

Loading MFC1 Profile for Serum/Serum 2

Serum 2 has 6 Macro slots while Serum 1 only has 3. For Serum we have provided two different mfc profiles. The attached Serum (Cycle Presets + Macro 1-4).mfc1 profile, controls macros 1-4 in serum/serum 2 after setup and cycles presets (after changing serum/serum 2's Prefs.json). The attached Serum 2 (All Macros).mfc1 profile controls all 6 macros on serum 2.

Load your selected profile onto your MFC using Load profile in the Jamstik Creator.
