AM-55 / Sep 2015
A M - 5 5 G U I
As covered earlier (page 3‑37), it is possible
to visually compare two different presets on
the AM‑55 with a special feature called Preset
Difference.
Double‑clicking on the name brings up a
Preset Difference
– parameter‑by‑parameter,
setting‑by‑setting – comparison list between the
current AM‑55 settings and the recalled preset.
Any parameter that is listed with a RED
background indicates a parameter that is different
between the preset running on the hardware and
the preset that has been highlighted. Parameters
which are not highlighted have the same values
between the two presets.
Notes on Online and Offline Working
Often it will be required that the GUI act directly and instantaneously upon the AM‑55
when a preset is selected. This is the Online
mode.
Offline, however, is more of a management utility intended for creating presets or
tweaking them without needing to listen to them on the host AM‑55.
Changes can be made to presets and configurations without affecting the sound of the
processing occurring within the AM‑55.
Importantly, any adjustments made on the GUI Offline will not take effect until the
preset changes have been saved, the AM‑55 is Online to the GUI again, and the preset is
made active by selecting it.
Invoking a preset – by double‑clicking a preset from the box brought up by clicking
the Presets button – does one of two things, depending on whether the GUI is in Online
or
Offline mode:
•
Online
– the double‑clicked preset is immediately sent to the AM‑55 and becomes
active.
• Offline – the double‑clicked preset brings that preset onto the main control and display
screen for perusal/editing. Any data entry/control which involves activity within the
main graph will still operate upon the preset, but not on the AM‑55’s audio.
