6. WORKING WITH PRESETS
The focus of this chapter is preset management: loading, saving, comparing, etc. Follow
these links to learn how to
create a preset from scratch [p.13]
, or to
edit an existing preset [p.21]
6.1. Selecting a preset
The process of selecting one of the 768 internal presets was covered
. But it's easy:
Select the Preset mode button, select a bank with an Assign button (1-8), then select one of
the Matrix buttons (A1-L8).
If you're looking for a preset in a particular category, such as a Brass preset, hold the Preset
left arrow and turn the Amount knob. As you scroll through each category, the presets in the
current bank that belong to that category will show you where they are when their Matrix
buttons light up.
6.2. Snapshots
PolyBrute can save up to 5 Snapshots of edited presets for instant comparison. Here's how
it works:
• To save a Snapshot of an edited patch, press [Save] once.
• To recall a Snapshot or compare it to the current preset, hold [Settings] and press
[Save]. The display looks like this:
• The Snapshots are listed chronologically (hours:minutes:seconds), with the most
recently selected Preset in location 1.
• Use [Assign 2-6] to audition a specific Snapshot of a previous edit.
• To exit Snapshot mode, press [Settings] or one of the large Mode buttons.
Here are a few things to know about Snapshots:
• All previous Snapshots are erased only when a new preset has been loaded and
a new Snapshot has been saved.
• A Snapshot can't be taken if no edits have been made since taking the previous
Snapshot, or since loading the most recent preset.
• A Snapshot is taken automatically of the previous state when a preset is loaded
(unless no edits were made, as mentioned above).
Snapshots allow you to view the stored presets while editing the current preset. This is useful
in two ways:
• To compare the edited state of the preset to the unedited (stored) version, or to
any other preset
• To preview another preset location before overwriting it with an edited preset.
