Multisetup Behavior has Changed in Proteus VX
======================================================

The behavior of Multisetups has changed slightly in Proteus VX.

are now (correctly) saved with the Multisetup. This may
cause your presets to sound different if you have used
Multisetups in your work

To Restore the Previous Settings of a Multisetup:

1. Re-select the Preset used on each channel.
2. Save the Bank.
