Creating Partial Presets - Polycom SoundStructure C16 Design Manual

Saving a preset to the SoundStructure system causes the preset to be written into the non-volatile memory
of the SoundStructure device. When online, the settings are transferred to the SoundStructure device and
stored in the non-volatile memory.
The current settings of a device may be saved to a new full preset by selecting the New Full preset option.
The new preset has a default name of "New Preset" and the name can be changed by left clicking on the
preset name.
Presets may be saved, removed, or re-named only from within the SoundStructure Studio software. Presets
may be executed via the SoundStructure API as described next by using the run action.
Virtual Channels And Groups And Presets
Full presets store all the parameter settings that differ from the defaults for all the virtual channels that are
defined at the time the full preset is created.
If, after a full preset has been saved, a new virtual channel is defined or renamed, the existing presets are
updated with the new channel name at the time that any full preset is saved, any full preset is executed from
SoundStructure Studio, or the configuration file is saved using the File Save option.
If virtual channels are removed, then all presets that have any reference to that virtual channel is updated
when any preset is saved, any preset is executed from SoundStructure Studio, or the configuration file is
saved using the File Save option.
Note: Saving Current Settings to a Preset
Any changes to current settings that are desired to survive a power cycle must be
saved to a preset, and usually the power-on preset, if the settings are to survive a
power cycling.

Creating Partial Presets

Partial presets are a list of commands that are executed when the partial preset is run. Partial presets can
be created in three ways:
● Removing entries from a full preset
● Creating new blank partial presets
● Using the preset recording tool
Creating a Partial Preset from a Full Preset
Partial presets consist of a sequence of commands that are executed in the order they appear in the partial
preset. If an entry is removed from a full preset, the full preset becomes a partial preset.
If there is only one full preset, entries in the preset may not be deleted or added to ensure there is at least
one full preset.
