For the convenience of file sharing of presets for the Plugiator, we have implemented a
structure for preset saving which is as follows:
- Plug-in (one of the 8 plug-ins available on the Plugiator)
- Preset File (contains one or more Bank files)
- Bank file (contains one or more Plug-in Presets)
- Preset (contains settings for the Preset)

The Plugiator uses a Program Change message to load a certain synth or a certain preset.
Therefore you can easily „record“ and „play back“ the commands to switch sounds of the
Plugiator. Use Program Change numbers 101-108 to load synths and Program Changes
from 1-100 to change presets of the selected plug-in.

VST Plug-Ins utilize your computer’s main processor to generate their sounds, and they rely
on a very specific software environment under Microsoft Windows. It would be very expensive
to put such an environment into a table top synth. In contrast, Plugiator utilizes a special
DSP processor which was designed for audio processing. Such DSPs are very powerful and
affordable, but they have a different command set than your Intel/AMD computer so that
VST code will not run on DSPs and vice versa. However, today’s floating point DSPs have
significant advantages over host processors - they provide facilities which help maintaining a
fantastic sound quality.
