You can create your own templates by simply copying or saving sessions into the “Session Templates” folder (Program Files\Creative Professional\Digital Audio System\E-MU PatchMix DSP\Session Templates).

The “Session Path” allows you to choose the destination for your Session. The default location is in the “My Sessions” folder within the “My Documents” folder.

There is also a Comment area that you can use to give yourself some clue as to what you were thinking when you created the session.
