Yes, you're right. What I described loads the modules for the tracks. If you want to save a particular set of parameter values for the modules, including type for the Console Emulator, then you need to save a preset and load that. However, it takes more clicks to load a preset compared to one click on the N-Type button if the default modules have already been loaded.
Another option is to populate tracks with the modules you want, then save as a template.
