Managing Presets

Once a preset is created (whether or not the DSP Configurator file is saved), it appears in the preset list, available from the DSP Configurator user interface.

In Live and Emulate mode, after a preset is selected from the list, action buttons become available next to the presets bar.

The user can either Recall (make the preset active), Cancel (return to the current emulation or state), or Delete the preset.

In Live mode, selecting Recall applies the currently displayed preset elements (“marked” elements) from the stored preset, overwrites that portion of the current state, and then switches the drop-down list to read Current State.

In Emulate mode, the Recall action button applies the currently displayed preset elements (“marked” elements) from the file, overwrite the information contained in the DSP Configurator as the current emulation, then switch the dropdown list to read Current Emulation.

When a preset is previewed in either Live or Emulate mode, the Delete button is available. When pressed in live mode, the preset is deleted from the hardware, which is reflected in software (it is removed from the preset list). After disconnecting from the device and before exiting the program, the file must then be saved to retain this change. If pressed in emulate mode, the preset is deleted from the file in software, which must then be saved (before exiting) to retain this change. In either mode, the Cancel button defeats the preview action and returns the user to current state or current emulation, respectively.

Presets: Pull vs. Push or Create Live

When a preset is pulled from the device, the preset data remains in the device until the preset is recalled. The DSP Configurator pulls only the names of the presets. These presets cannot be saved to disk until they have been recalled.

An asterisk next to the preset name indicates that only the preset name has been pulled from the device, and the preset data exists only in the device (it has not been recalled). Presets pushed to the device or created in Live mode have no asterisk. Presets with no asterisk can be saved to disk.
