SAVE AS Saving Presets (sound programming). This function allows the user to save a preset which has been modified, including giving it a new name.

￿“Skip” will stop the new preset from being imported.

EXPORT Choose this function to export USER Presets. Click on “Export”, choose the destination of the “*.afpresets” document which will be created, and give it a name.
