When creating a new preset, this is the mode you need to go to for saving your settings.
Preset Browser Mode:
This mode allows you to easily sort your preset among multiple criteria for a fast
selection.
Double click or hit Enter
on a preset to launch it. Be careful, this will erase all the settings you could have
done with the current preset.
Use the Arrow (up and down) for browsing the presets
Click on a criteria
for displaying only the corresponding presets.
A grayed out criteria means that, according to the currently selected criteria, there is no preset that matches
that criteria.
The current preset and its associated criteria are
highlighted in green
.
There are two independent preset managers, one for the global preset (GLOBAL) and the other for the
sequencer preset (SEQ).
Clicking on the Browser icon will open the Global Preset manager in Browser mode.
Clicking on the
Save As
icon will open the Global Preset manager in Current Preset mode.
Selecting
Save As
in the Sequencer preset menu would open the Sequencer Preset manager in Current Preset
mode.
On each criteria, right-clicking would open a contextual menu. You can then rename, delete, export a criteria. In
these two later cases, all the presets which are not in the “Factory” bank, corresponding to that criteria will be
deleted or exported.
Favorite:
you can add each preset in your “Favorite” or “Hidden” selection. In that case, when clicking on the
“Favorite” icon, only the preset in your favorite selection will be displayed. When clicking on the “Hidden” icon,
all the presets in your “Hidden” selection will be removed from the list.
Factory:
The preset in the factory bank can't be changed or removed (shown by a lock at the right of the
preset). When clicking on the “Lock” icon, all the “Factory” presets will be removed from the list.
Import:
By clicking on the
IMPORT
button, you can import banks of presets created for the
XILS 4

If the Global preset manager is selected, then the file contains global presets (.evcs files).

6.5 A/B Comparison
You can store two different versions of a patch simultaneously in the A and B (non-permanent) memory slots,
and instantly switch from one to the other to compare their settings.
When you launch
XILS 4
, the default-activated memory is A. When you load or modify a preset, this memory –
A- is also modified in real time according to your edits. You can switch to B memory by clicking on the B button.
To copy the current active memory content to the other memory slot, just press the button labeled -> or <-,
according to the current active memory.
With this A/B comparison system, you can easily have two settings, and compare them in a convenient way.
Note: Please note that by default, the B memory slot, until you copy settings into it, or until loading another
preset into the other memory slot, is populated with the INIT patch loaded in the A memory, when you first start
XILS 4
.
