As soon as Assimil8or completes loading
whichever channel of
Preset 002
it was
loading when you selected
Preset 007,
it
immediately starts loading the samples of
Preset 007.
5.
Once finished loading
Preset 007,
Assimil8or continues to load
Presets
008, 009,
and
010
and then circles back
to
Preset 002
to complete its loading,
followed by
Presets 003-006.
What about those unassigned samples?
Unassigned samples remain unloaded until
you decide to assign them to a channel
or zone in a preset you’re programming.
They load at that point. See the chapters on
Channels
and
Zones
for details.
Presets
A preset contains the information necessary
to play up to 8 of Assimil8or’s channels with
the parameters you’ve programmed. Presets
are always contained in folders, along with
their required samples. When examining the
contents of an SD card on your computer,
the preset files have a .yml suffix.
NOTE:
Presets files are saved in the YAML
format. Since YAML is human readable,
you could, if you wanted, open a preset file
in a text editor and examine, or even modify
it. (Keep in mind that you could mess up your
presets pretty majorly this way.) On the other
hand, someone with the appropriate skills
could, if so inclined, create a computer-based
preset editor that generated YAML files that
could then be copied onto an SD card. Just
sayin’.
We’ll be publishing the YAML preset file
format in the not-too-distant future for
anyone so interested.
Loading Presets
In the home screen, turn the encoder to
scroll through all existing presets. When you
see the one you want, click the encoder’s
switch.
If you
press and hold
the encoder switch and
then turn the encoder, each preset will load
immediately as you scroll to it.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Once you’ve loaded
a folder and all of its headers have been
loaded into memory, you can immediately
select any of the folder’s presets. However, if
the folder and/or the preset contains one or
more long samples, it may be the case that
the sample(s) have not yet been completely
loaded into memory. This is indicated by a red
dot on the home page next to one or more
channel names. Once a sample is completely
loaded, the dot will change to the channel
number.
ANOTHER NOTE:
Channels in presets
become immediately playable as soon as
their sample(s) load, even if other channels in
the preset are still loading. This may or may not
be useful to you, depending on your situation.
Importing Presets
You can import presets from other folders
on your SD card into your current folder, in
which case the preset’s sample(s) are also
imported into the current folder.
To import a preset:
>
While in the destination folder (i.e., the
folder you want to import the preset into),
press the
LOAD
button.
>
Scroll to the
Folder
on your SD card that
contains the preset you want to import.
>
Double-click the
LOAD
button to display
the contents of the selected folder.
>
Scroll through the folder’s contents to
locate the preset you want to import.
>
Click the encoder to bring up the
File Op
window. Select “Import” and click the
encoder again.
>
The preset and all of its samples will be
imported into your initial folder and you
will be returned to that folder with your
imported preset selected.
