About the Preset Names

If you’ve purchased any other Noise Engineering Rack Extensions, you’ve probably
seen our extensive and computer-named preset libraries. We took a different approach
to Imitor. When you load it up, you’ll notice three banks of presets: Bread And Butter,
Sandwich, and Pudding. Imitor is an incredibly deep and versatile effect, and we wanted
the presets to act as starting points that showed off some of the many things that Imitor
could be used for. Bread And Butter contains some of your most basic settings: an
interpretation of a tape delay, a bouncing ball, and some other simple effects. Sandwich
gets more complex: rhythmic delays, evolving feedback, and more. Pudding was our
most out-there and creative ideas that push Imitor to the extremes.

Unlike the automatic naming scheme for our other preset libraries, these presets were
named based on descriptions of their sounds, their features, or what they reminded us
of as we were using them (“Hair Commercial” and “Angry Bees” are perfect examples).

About NE

Noise Engineering is located in Los Angeles, California. We started around 2014 when
Chief Noisemaker Stephen McCaul wanted a hobby for his off time from his day job and
started making Eurorack modules in a spare bedroom at home. One thing led to another
and a couple of years later, he and wife Kris Kaiser quit their day jobs and took the
company full time. Noise Engineering has since grown in size and has established itself
as a well-regarded and innovative synthesizer brand, with products in Eurorack, 5U, and
multiple software platforms.

Special Thanks
