These can contain the whole insert effects rack, complete with settings

“Saving insert effect combinations” on page 203.
Selecting effect presets
Most VST effect plug-ins come with a number of useful
presets for instant selection.
To select an effect preset in the Presets browser, proceed
as follows:
1. Load an effect, either as a channel insert or into an FX
channel.
The control panel for the effect is displayed.
2. Click in the preset field at the top of the control panel.
This opens the Presets browser.
• You can also open the Presets browser from the In-
spector (Inserts tab) or the Channel Settings window.
3. In the Results section, select a preset from the list.
4. Activate playback to audition the selected preset.
Simply step through the presets until you find the right sound. It may be
helpful to set up cycle playback of a section to make comparisons be
-
tween different preset settings easier.
5. When you have found the preset that you want, dou-
ble-click on it (or click outside the Presets browser).
The preset is applied.
• To return to the preset that was selected when you
opened the Presets browser, click the “Revert to Last Set-
ting” button.
• You can also open the Presets browser by clicking the
button to the right of the preset field an selecting “Load
Preset” from the pop-up menu.
Ö The preset handling for VST 2 plug-ins is slightly differ-
ent, see “About earlier VST effect presets” on page 202.
The Browser sections
The Presets browser contains the following sections:
• The “Results” section lists the available presets for the
selected effect.
• The Filters section shows the available preset attributes
for the selected effect.
This section is similar to the Filters section in the MediaBay, see “The Fil-
ters section” on page 321. To show the Filters section, click the “Set Up
Window Layout” button and activate the Filters option.
• The Location Tree section allows you to specify the
folder that is searched for preset files.
To show the Location Tree section, click the “Set Up Window Layout”
button and activate the Location Tree option. Note that this is only avail
-
able if the Filters section is also active.
Saving effect presets
You can save your edited effect settings as presets for
further use (e. g. in other projects):
1. Open the Preset Management pop-up menu.
