views. See Logic Pro Alchemy interface overview.
Name bar parameters
Preset field and pop-up menu: Displays a list of presets available to load. By default,
all presets are shown. To quickly scroll through and load a preset, use the Previous
and Next buttons (the arrows) adjacent to the Preset field. The order of presets is
determined by settings in the Preset browser. See Logic Pro Alchemy Preset browser
overview.
The field shows the current preset name and category, or Default if no preset is loaded.
The category of the selected preset is displayed to the left of the preset name when a
preset is loaded.
Category button: Show a pop-up menu of preset categories.
File button: Open a pop-up menu containing preset management commands.
Save Consolidated: Save a copy of the active preset along with copies of audio files
used.
Note: Because Factory samples use audio files available to all Alchemy users, these
files are not copied.
Initialize Preset: Initialize Alchemy, providing a basic sawtooth wave that can be used
as a starting point for your own presets.
Refresh Library: Scans all default file locations, and updates the preset library
database.
Save button: Save your changes to the active preset. If the preset belongs in the
Factory bank, a Save As dialog is displayed, preventing you from accidentally
overwriting the preset.
Save As button: Open a browser window where you can choose a filename (*.acp) and
a location to save the currently active preset. Newly saved presets are automatically
added to the Preset browser with a category, several predetermined attributes, and the
artist name specified in Preferences > My Info > Artist Name. If this preference is not
set, “Unknown Artist” is shown in preset results.
Quality pop-up menu: Choose the processing resolution on output. This setting remains
active when loading other presets or when recalling the project.
Limiter button: Turn the Limiter on or off. This prevents clipping of the signal from all
voices at the end of the signal path.
Volume knob: Boost or cut the overall preset volume. This happens at the end of the
signal path and controls the effected and dry signals of all voices.
