MDMX Distortion Modules / User Guide

Using MDMX Presets
Each MDMX plugin comes with an assortment of factory presets. In many cases, you’ll find just the right effect by
loading a preset. Sometimes you’ll load a preset as a starting point and then make adjustments to achieve what
you’re after. Starting with a preset has two advantages:
•
It’s fast
. We’ve already done most of the work needed to produce a specific sound. Begin with a preset
whose name sounds like what you’re looking for and tweak a few controls. That might be all you need.
•
It’s a good way to learn.
Load a few presets and see how the controls are set for each one. Pay attention to
how the different settings influence the sound. Do this a few times and you’ll understand what the controls do
and how the sections work together.
Each module has a section in this user guide called “Using Presets.” It shows you how we address some common
distortion and overdrive issues using that tool. You can, of course, design an effect from scratch, without using a
preset.
Once you like the sound you’ve created, you can save the settings as a preset. This is important if you want to use
the preset in other sessions or elsewhere in the current session. Go to the Save menu in the WaveSystem Toolbar
at the top of the interface and select one of the save options. Refer to the
for more
information.
