Patch Browser
Overview
Bazille presets are sometimes called
patches
, a term borrowed by modular synth pioneers from
19th/20th century manual telephone exchanges. For obvious reasons: Calls were connected in a
similar fashion using large jack socket matrices (disconcertingly called
switchboards
)
.
You can load any preset in the current folder by clicking on the data display and selecting from the
menu, or step through all presets by clicking on the arrow symbols either side of the data display.
However, no self-respecting synthesizer wouldn’t include a browser, and Bazille is no exception –
click on the [PATCHES] button at the top left…
Most of the GUI is replaced by a set of three connected panels: Folders appear on the left, presets
in the centre and information about the currently active preset on the right. If you can’t see the
folders 01 to 10, click on the triangle to the left of
Local
. If you can’t see the PATCH INFO pane,
click on the button in the top right and activate
Show Preset Info
.
The Local root directory contains a representative selection of presets copied from the subfolders
(but without the tags). Immediately after loading a preset by clicking on its name you can step
through all the others using your computer’s cursor keys.
Default preset
Whenever Bazille starts it checks whether the Local root contains a preset called
default
, which is
then loaded instead of the demo sound. Note that
default
will not appear in the browser.
Extra sounds
Any commercial soundsets we distribute on our website (for instance the
Bazille Cookbook
) will
appear in
.uhe-soundset
a few pages down.
