6 Preset Management:
6.1 Main Toolbar:
In the toolbar you can find two Criteria buttons, displaying the criteria name (Bank, Author, Type, Style, Feeling
or Project), which open the sort management menus.
The first two text fields show the current sorting criteria, and the third shows the chosen preset of the resulting
selected group of presets.
Clicking on the arrow to the left of the category, or preset names, opens the corresponding menus.
Info: Once any one parameter of a preset has been modified, the name of the preset is followed by a *,
indicating that the current settings of XILS 4 no longer match the stored preset.
When you want to save a modified preset, click on the Save or Save As button.
The SAVE function will overwrite the current preset with all the edits you have made. The Save As function
gives you the opportunity to save your preset under another name, in a different bank, and with different tags.
Factory Preset Protection: In order to prevent you from erasing them, the Factory presets cannot be
overwritten using the SAVE function. When you edit a Factory preset, the Save button will therefore be grayed,
and you MUST use the “Save As” function to save it in another bank.
If you edit any preset other than a Factory one, the Save and Save As functions will both be available.
As soon as an edited preset has been saved, the * will disappear, until you start to edit that saved version yet
again.
6.2 Preset menu:
Click in the Preset Name Area to display the preset list. Here you can choose and load another preset from
the current selected group of presets into the XILS 4.
In this menu, other actions are also available:
Delete Preset: Use this to delete the current preset (a pop-up confirmation window appears). This option is
only available if the current preset is not a factory one.
Export Preset: Use this function to export the current preset to an external file location. This file can be
imported later as a new bank. It always makes sense to back up your presets on external media.
