Open Preset Information (or click on SAVE AS): This opens the following preset information window
where, not only the name, but all the other information related to the current preset can be displayed or
changed.
This window allows you to specify or change the data below, to be saved with the newly named preset:
• Author: (Your name, mostly used by Sound Designers for factory presets)
• Type: (Category of the instrument such as Keys, Leads, Basses, etc.)
• Style: (Musical Genre, Groove Type, etc.)
• Feeling: (e.g. Cold, Warm, Soft, Sweep).
• Project: (My Favorites, My Song, My_Live_Project, Patches for my next CD, etc.).

To change the preset location, click on the BANK display. This will open a menu when you can select one
of the existing sound-banks, or create a new bank.

custom styles (Musical genres), categories of instruments, and custom projects etc.

of using an existing item, select “New….”, which will appear at the bottom of the list. This will open a
separate new window, in which you can write the name of the new item. Click OK to confirm this, then the
name and the newly created tag will now be active and selected for the current preset.
Note: You may have to browse down to the bottom of the list in order to select “new”, depending on the
length of the list.
