all available presets.

The Save preset button allows you to save your own presets, and the Tools menu offers Cut, Copy and
Paste functions, which are useful for transferring the current preset to other instances of the synth that
are currently open in your host. The
Preferences panel is discussed later in this section, while the Load
to Mod Slot function is an advanced feature related to the modulation system – see section 7:3 of the
Operation Manual.
The
Audio stream indicator lights up when the synth receives an audio stream – in other words, this
indicator should be lit when the synth is operating properly within your host, or as a standalone application
communicating with your audio interface.
The
MIDI indicator lights up when any MIDI message is received by the synth.
