Put ML5 in Write mode from the MC6

My understanding is that you can turn loops on and off through the MC6 but you can't create presets on the ML5 that turn on/off multiple loops without pressing the Learn button and the loops you want on the ML5 it self. I envision the ML5 being underneath my board but that doesn't make any sense until I can create those presets from the MC6 itself. Or... just tell me I'm missing something please.
