Helix Stomp XL - PRESET vs BANK

[tacoma50]

My new XL is on its way so I am reading user guide.

 

BLOCKs and PRESETs are defined on page 5 under common terminology. But BANKs are not defined. 

 

I am confused, can someone define what a BANK is and explain the difference between a PRESET and a BANK.

 

Thanks.

 

From user guide:

 

Block: 
Blocks are objects that represent various elements of your tone, such
as amps, cabs, effects, splits, loopers, inputs, outputs, and impulse
responses. The HX Stomp XL pedal can accommodate up to eight
simultaneous amp, cab, IR, effects, and/or looper blocks, DSP permitting.
Model Each processing block can accommodate one model (or, in some cases,
two models).

 

Preset:

A preset is your tone. It consists of all blocks, snapshots, footswitch
assignments, and controller assignmen

Your presets are organized into groups of 4 identified by the letters A, B, C, and D. These four presets appear in each of sixteen numbered BANKs, 1-16. A unique preset is identified by its Bank number and preset letter, e.g. 14A which represents the first (A) preset in Bank 14. The Up/Down footswitches navigate you incrementally through Presets or Banks with each press, depending on the “Global Settings> Footswitches” > Up/Down Switches setting. Pressing the Up and Down footswitches behave differently based on this setting. Experiment a bit and you’ll quickly understand. Also see manual pg12.
