OVERLOUD GEMS
MENU BAR
All OVERLOUD GEMS have a menu bar at the top. The menu bar identical across all Gems, and im-
plements the same set of functions. Here is the description of this global menu bar.
POWER - Turns the “power” on or o ff for the Gem. This control actually works as a bypass: when it is
set to o ff , the plugin transfers the input channel signal unaltered to the output.
PRESETS - The presets area includes four controls: left and right scroll buttons, the preset name
box, and the drop-down list button. Each Gem can store an in fi nite number of presets. You can
scroll through them sequentially with the left/right (previous/next) buttons, or by clicking the
drop down list button which will list the presets, allowing you to scroll the list interactively and
load a preset with a mouse click.
SAVE/SAVE AS - When you have edited the cur-
rent preset, you can store it in the preset
database with the SAVE button. If, instead, you
want to duplicate it you can press SAVE AS
and type a new name for the copy of the pre-
set.
A/B COMPARISON - The A and B buttons allow you
to compare two sets of settings for the Gem. The version you are currently editing is the one
highlighted in red, and you can switch to the counterpart by clicking the other button. You can
copy the selected setting to the other one with the arrow button in between.
LINK - For Gems having parameters to be linked together, if the LINK control is not explicitly
present on the Gem panel, this button can be used to access the list of linkable parameters and
enable the wanted links. If one link is enabled at least, then the LINK button is lit.
UNDO/REDO - Each user action done inside the Gem is stored into an internal list. You can reverse
these actions one step at a time to restore a previous setting. And even to redo the undone steps
if you feel you went too far backwards.

When you load a preset, its name appears in the preset name
box. As soon as you change a preset after loading, you will see a
dot next to the preset name; this dot indicates that the preset has
changed. If you try to load a new preset after editing the current
one, you will be prompted for con
fi rmation that your real inten-
tion is to load the new preset and lose your changes.
