ORIGIN CONNECTION – USER’S MANUAL
12.1
Introduction
The Origin Connection is a software, running under Mac OS X or Windows XP/Vista, which provides
several services to Origin users:
-
Storage and management of the presets created on Origin;
-
Origin firmware updates.
12.1.1
Preset storage and management
The preset manager allows to make a backup of the sounds from the machine and to share its
presets. The user is able to create Backup files which represent an exact copy of all the presets in
Origin.
It also works with Sound Banks of presets. The main difference between Sound Banks and Backups is
that the number of presets in a Sound Bank is not limited. In a Sound Bank, the user can add or
delete as many presets as he wants. Contrarily, it is impossible to add or delete presets in a Backup.
A Sound Bank is divided in three levels:
-
Multis
-
Programs
-
Sequences
Each level is independent. For instance, if you add a multi into a Sound Bank, you will not find the
programs that this multi uses in the Program level, these programs are saved with the Multi and you
can’t access them. In this way, you will be sure to get exactly the same Multi you saved when you
reload it onto Origin. It is the same thing for the Programs linked to a Sequence.
The Sound Banks and Backups are stored in the application preset folder.
Typically:
(for Windows users)
C:\Program Files\ARTURIA\Origin Connection\Presets\
(
for Mac OS X users)
/User/Documents/Origin Connection/Presets/
There are two subfolders:
Sound Banks
for the sound banks, and
Backup
for the dumps.
You can directly open the Origin Connection Preset folder by selecting the
File > Open the preset
folder
menu.
