Using Effect Presets

If you want to reuse settings that you have found suitable, it is advisable to save them as Presets (presettings) so that they are available for all shows.

Every PlugIn has a separate Preset page for this purpose. This is the last tab (on the very right) on the PlugIn user interface. When such a Preset page is selected for the first time it does not contain any entries.

            Using fixed ROM Presets

            Many PlugIns contain a number of useful Presets programmed by the producer. When a PlugIn has got such internal Presets, button ROM Presets is displayed on the Preset page. "ROM" stands for "Read Only Memory". This means that these Presets can only be read but not overwritten.

              1. Open the corresponding Effect dialog by double-clicking the PlugIn entry in the Effect Manager and click tab Presets.

              2. Now click on button ROM Presets . After doing so, the internal Presets will be available in the Preset list in addition to any existing Presets.

              3. In order to distinguish internal Presets from your individual Presets, their name always starts with (ROM0), (ROM1), etc. These Presets can be activated just like your individual Presets.

              If you want to change such a ROM Preset you should rename it. This is because after clicking button ROM Presets the next time, all Presets with the same name are once again replaced/overwritten by the internal PlugIn Presets.
