Exploring the GUI: Loading Synth and Audio Effect Presets
In the center of the GUI is a large area that constitutes a virtual "rack" for running your virtual
instruments and effects. At the top of the rack area is the name of the preset and tag that is currently
loaded. There can be up to 16 total "synth" or "effect" channels. There are several ways to load
presets into the rack area, including creating a preset from scratch.
1. The first way you can load a preset into the rack is to click on a preset name in the Tag / Preset
(SoundFinder) area on the left and the rack will automatically populate with the virtual instruments or
effects that are associated with that preset.
Each TAG has a small Arrow that you can click to reveal all the Presets associated with that particular
Tag. To load a preset in a Tag, simply click on the preset and the preset will load.
Tip: When the contents of a Tag are displayed, you can select presets in that Tag by using the UP/
DOWN arrows on your QWERTY keyboard. This is a great way to quickly audition sounds.
Once you select a Preset, you will see the name of the preset and tag appear at the top of the center
section of the screen. This lets you know that the preset is loaded as well as what virtual instruments or
effects are associated with that preset. You'll also see that Tag and Preset on the front panel LCD.
2. The other way you can populate the channels in the rack is to simply drag a plug-in into the rack
area, letting you easily create your own presets. Just to the right of the Tags/Presets /SoundFinder area
you'll see a column labeled "Synths" and a column below that labeled "Effects". There are scroll bars to
the right of the columns so you can scroll through the available synths and effects. Each synth or effect
has a small picture of its interface, as well as the name of the synth or effect to locate the plug-in of
interest. To load a plug-in, simply click on its picture, and drag it into the rack area (synths into the top
section, effects into the bottom section. This loads the synth or effect with its default patch.
To select a patch within a particular plug-in, simply click on the large horizontal "preset select" bar at
the top of the channel. This opens up another window that lets you select the factory presets for that
plugin (by clicking on the BANK tab) or by using the SoundFinder function for that particular channel (by
clicking on the Tag tab).
To clear out a channel, simply drag either that plug-in out of the rack area (keeping the channel open,
which is handy for swapping out a particular sound on a channel while keeping all the MIDI and mixer
settings intact) or drag the entire channel out of the rack to delete the channel and all of its settings.
If you want to run a different plug-in in a particular channel, just drag the new plugin picture over the
picture of the old plugin and it will be replaced.
