4. MANAGING PRESETS
A
Preset is a collection of almost all different (sound) parameters settings on the MiniFreak,
kept together in one place for instant recall. While there are a few functions that are global
for the MiniFreak no matter which Preset is loaded, most of which you'll find in the
, the vast majority of the elements that make up a MiniFreak sound – and all of
the performance tools to get the most out of it – are stored in a Preset.
The MiniFreak has space for 512 Presets on board, and comes out of the box with a curated
list of fine presets to get you started. Because it's important to be able to customize and save
your own sounds easily, the Preset management system on the MiniFreak has been kept
simple and easy to navigate, while giving you tools to quickly find the sounds you want.
4.1. Preset controls
The center of the MiniFreak's front panel has all needed controls for Preset management:
The
Save
button and the all-important
Preset/Edit/Filters
encoder.
Because it does so much, the Preset/Edit/Filters encoder has a bewildering number of
names. To simplify this manual, we will use only the name of the function the encoder is
currently performing:
•
Preset
when managing Presets
•
Edit
when editing parameters
•
Filters
when Shift-turned to work with Preset Filters
4.2. Selecting and loading Presets
Finding and loading Presets is the simplest of the Preset operations – just turn the Preset
encoder until you find the one you want, then click to load it.
The Display shows four pieces of information:
• The Preset Number
• The Preset Name
• The Preset Type
• ...and a small asterisk near the Type name to indicate if the Preset has been
edited since it was recalled.
