About presets
Several of the MIDI plug-ins come with a number of pre-
sets for instant use.
• To load a preset, select it from the Presets pop-up
menu.
• To store your current settings as a preset, click on the
“+” button (“Save Preset…”) to the right of the Presets
menu.
You will be asked to specify a name for the preset. The saved preset will
then be available for selection from the pop-up menu for all instances of
that MIDI plug-in, in all projects.
• To remove a preset, select it and click on the “-” button
(“Remove Preset”).
At the left and right borders of the Presets pop-up menu
you will also find MIDI In and Out activity indicators.
Whenever the plug-in receives or transmits MIDI data, the
left or the right indicator will light up, respectively.

sert effect to a MIDI track:

2. Open the MIDI Inserts tab in the Inspector.
• Alternatively you can use the Mixer: bring up the ex-
tended Mixer panel and select “Inserts” on the view op-
tions pop-up menu for the track’s channel strip.
