Preset Handling

Introduction

We recommend using the dedicated PowerCore file handling system that, apart from recall; store and compare facilities, allows for easy exchange of entire preset folders with other users, between Windows/Mac platforms and also between different host applications.

File

Click “File” to open the File menu.

Load Preset: Select to load presets from the default preset location.

Save Preset: Select to save the preset in My Presets folder.

My Presets: Via “My Presets” you are able to load you own presets.

If you chose to store presets in other locations than the “My Preset” folder, these presets will not appear in the “My Preset” drop down menu. However, you can still navigate to, and load these presets via the Load Preset function.

Preset name

This is the name of the preset.

Up/down

The [UP]/[DOWN] arrow keys can be used to browse through all presets.

A/B

With the A/B compare function you can easily compare different parameter settings when working with the plug-in.

When you start working with your preset, the A/B button is grayed out. This state indicates that the settings in both memory locations A and B are identical - so there is actually nothing to compare.

PRESET HANDLING

As soon as you touch one of the parameters, the memory location “A” will be active. All parameter changes will be applied to memory location “A”. If you switch to memory location “B”, you go back to the starting point, and all further changes will now be applied to memory location “B”.

Every time you press the A/B button, you will toggle between these two memory locations.

The A/B memory locations are temporary settings only! Saving a preset, will save the currently selected memory location only. The setting of the other (hidden) memory location will not be

saved!

Reset

Click “Reset” to clear memories A/B and return to the originally recalled preset.

DEFAULT PRESET LOCATIONS

The following locations will describe where you can find the presets, which are stored in a folder unique to each plug-in:

Mac OS X preset paths:

Factory presets:

<Macintosh HD>/Library/Application Support/TC Electronic/<plug-in name>/Presets/

User presets:

/Users/<user name>/Library/Application Support/TC Electronic/<plug-in name>/Presets/

Windows preset paths:

Factory presets:

C:\Program Files\TC Electronic\<plug-in name>\Presets

User presets:

C:\Documents and Settings\<your user name>\My Documents\TC Electronic\<plug-in name>\Presets

•To delete a preset file, simply move it to the “Trash” or “Recycle bin”.

•To create a new sub-folder that appears in the plug-in menu, simply create a new folder in the plug-in folder that resides in the PRESETS folder of the plug-ins default preset location.

A folder will not appear in the Preset File Menu unless it has at least one preset inside!
