Load/Save: Current Bank of Presets:
• Load FXB Bank of Presets: Allows the user to select an FXB preset file from disk.
• Save Presets as FXB Bank: Saves the current 48 presets in a new FXB bank to be selected by
the user.
• Recent: Contains a list of recently loaded or saved FXB banks. The list can be edited by
clearing all entries, or removing individual items. Any FXB files at start-up found to be
missing on disk are automatically (and permanently) removed from the recent bank files list.
• Clear All Presets in Bank: Wipe all memory resident presets clean to the empty preset state.
• Create Bank of Presets From Current Preset: Using the current preset as a template, create a
bank of presets incrementing the IR for each preset from the current directory. Selecting this
option on preset 10 will only change presets 10 and above, this is useful when creating
presets from files in multiple directories.
Load/Save: Bank Initialisation Options: A number of choices are available for the initial presets that
will be used when the plug-in is loaded.
• Initialise as Factory Defaults: The factory defaults will be loaded.
• Initialise as Empty Preset: All presets will be loaded as empty presets ready for use with new
configurations.
• Initialise with User Defined Bank: Uses the file selected by ‘Choose User Defined Bank File’.
Clicking this menu item displays what file will be used in a message box.
• Choose User Defined Bank File: Opens a file selection dialog so the user can pick a default
file to use with the ‘Init as User Bank’ option.
Notes: Prior to v1.400 of Reverberate, the 48 preset slots were managed by the host. Since host
support for preset banks is variable (AU hosts in particular) preset management has been taken
within the plug-in such that a consistent bank management experience is available to all users. It is
advised to manage presets within Reverberate where possible as many hosts are unable to maintain
consistency when users are manipulating preset names within the plug-in. Many plug-ins without a
VST bank heritage only provide a single preset per bank avoiding this complication, but this approach
cannot be followed to ensure backwards compatibility with presets and banks embedded existing
songs.
Caveat: In OS X, preset naming is not possible in Live 8 due to GUI compatibility issues; it is
recommended to use the VST and re-name presets via the host and manage all other aspects of
presets and banks within Reverberate. LiquidSonics is working with the vendors of these hosts to
arrive at suitable solution.
