Preset Controls

The preset bar at the top provides, left to right: - A "Preset" label identifying the row - ‹ / › buttons to step through presets - Preset dropdown to select any preset by name - Save to save the current settings as a new user preset - ⋯ (share menu) to export the current patch or import a shared preset — see Sharing Presets below - Delete to remove a user preset (factory presets cannot be deleted)

The preset list is a collapsible tree grouped into two top-level sections: a USER node containing the presets you have saved, shown first, and a FACTORY node containing all built-in presets (organised beneath it into category sub-headings such as GLACIAL or DARK LONG DRONES). The USER section only appears once you have saved at least one preset. Each preset is tagged with its origin — [User] for your saved sounds and [Factory] for the read-only built-in bank.

Every heading carries a chevron (▾ open / ▸ closed); click a heading to expand or collapse that branch. The dropdown remembers what you expand and collapse while the plugin window is open, and always opens with the branch containing the currently-selected preset expanded so you can see the sound you are on; that preset is highlighted in the list so it is easy to spot. (This memory lasts for the session; reopening the plugin starts fresh with just the current preset's branch expanded.) User presets are stored in your system's application data directory.

When the plugin first loads it starts on its built-in default settings, which do not correspond to any saved preset — the preset bar reads Default until you choose a preset or save your own.

Once you load a preset and then nudge any of its controls, the preset bar appends a * to the name — e.g. Cathedral Wind * [Factory] — to show the sound no longer exactly matches the saved preset. The marker clears when you save your changes (over the same name or a new one), load another preset, or return every control to its saved value. It is purely a status indicator; bypassing the plugin does not count as a change.

Switching presets is gapless: there is no silent moment in the middle of the change. The previous sound keeps ringing while the new preset is charged up internally, then the two are crossfaded so the new sound arrives already at its full body — even a slow, gentle preset is at full strength immediately instead of taking several seconds to swell in. The result is a smooth, click-free, uninterrupted transition straight into the loaded sound, and browsing quickly through several presets stays continuous with no drop-outs.
