In addition to the Preset Filters that help the user easily search and select among the 3500 various presets, there are also view options within the Preset Manager that allows the user to choose how the presets are listed.

When the user selects the filter criteria, the list of Presets appears in a vertical column in the middle of the screen under Preset Name. By default, the presets will be listed automatically in alphabetical order from A to Z under Preset Name. However, if the user prefers, the presets can be arranged on the screen according to other criteria in the adjacent columns:

INSTRUMENT In this column, the name of the original instrument that produced the sound is offered for each preset. Therefore, it will list among the following instruments: Minimoog V, Moog Modular V, ARP 2600 V, CS-80 V, Prophet 5, Prophet VS or Jupiter-8V. When the user clicks on the title bar labelled Instrument, the columns will reorganize alphabetically under the Instrument column.

TYPE In this column, the TYPE of instrument appears corresponding to each preset. By clicking at the top of the column on the TYPE title bar, the presets presented will be listed alphabetically according to TYPE in the same column.

CPU In this column, the CPU usage rate appears for each preset. By clicking the title bar labelled CPU at the top of this column, the presets will be arranged on a scale from 1 to 5. 1 represents a low CPU usage rate while 5 represents a high CPU usage rate.
