Chapter 4 – The WaveSystem
4.1 The WaveSystem Toolbar
All Waves processors feature the WaveSystem toolbar which takes care of most administrative
functions you will encounter while working with your Waves software. The features of the WaveSystem
toolbar are the same on practically all Waves processors, so familiarity with its features will be helpful
whichever processor you are using.

4.2 Preset Handling
Preset Types
Factory Presets
are permanent presets in the Load menu. Factory presets cannot be over-written or
deleted. When applicable, different component plug-ins may have different factory presets.
User Presets
are your favorite settings of the plug-in saved as a preset in the Load menu, under ‘User
Presets’. User Presets can be over-written and deleted.
Setup Files
may contain more than one preset. For example, a single file can contain all the presets for
a session. When you open a Setup File, all its setups become part of your Load pop-up menu for fast
access. This can be particularly useful with multiple instances of a plug-in in a single session. By saving
all the settings you create into a single Setup File, they can all be quickly available for every instance of
that plug-in.
