Tutorial 4: Saving your Work with Presets

If you like what you've created on the SWN, you can save the state of the module in a preset and
recall it later. Almost everything will be saved: the tuning and wave-shape of each oscillator, which
sphere is assigned to each channel, mutes, LFO settings, Note Mode, etc. The only things not saved
are the positions of the Level sliders and the VCA | 1V/oct switch (and any other modules you have
Save Preset
patched in).
Let's walk through saving and loading presets. First, play around until you get a sound you like from the SWN.
Perhaps go back to Tutorial 1 or 2 to make a drone or a melody.
When you like what you hear, you can save it.
Saving a Preset:
Turn to choose slot
Press 2 sec.
Save Preset
Tap to confirm
Now let's learn how to load a preset. Turn some knobs on the SWN so it sounds different. Then we'll load the
preset you just saved:
Loading a Preset:
Turn to choose slot
Tap knob
Save Preset
Tap again to confirm
What if you saved a preset and don't want it anymore? You can clear preset slots like this:
Clearing a Preset:
Turn to choose slot
Press 6 sec.
Save Preset
Tap again to confirm
Undo/Redo:
Press Fine and Preset
+
Fine
Save Preset
There are 108 preset slots. If you want to learn more about presets, including how to copy/paste presets, undo
and redo, and tips on using presets in a live performance, see the Presets section (page 14).
Saving a Preset:
1) Turn the Load/Save Preset knob to select a slot. A bright yellow light will
move around the outer light ring as you turn the knob. Each light represents a
slot where you can save a preset. If the light is off, the slot is empty.
2) Press and hold the knob down until the slot starts flashing red, then let go.
3) Tap the knob again (while the red light is still flashing) to confirm the save;
you'll see an animation of red lights while it's saving. (If you change your
mind and don't want to save the preset, just do nothing and the light will stop
blinking after a couple seconds.)
Loading a Preset:
1) Turn the Load/Save Preset knob to select the slot where you saved the
preset. (Slots that have a preset saved in them will glow a dim yellow.)
2) Press and release the knob quickly and the slot will flash green.
3) Tap the knob again (while the green light is still flashing) to confirm the load:
you'll see an animation of green lights while it's loading and the sound will
change. (If you change your mind and don't want to load the preset, just do
nothing and the light will stop flashing after a couple seconds.)
Clearing a Preset:
1) Turn the Load/Save Preset knob to select a slot.
2) Press the knob for 6 seconds until the light flashes multi-colored, then let go.
3) Tap the knob again (while the light is still flashing) to confirm the clear. (If you
change your mind and don't want to delete the preset, just do nothing and the
light will stop flashing after a couple seconds.)
What if you accidentally saved over a preset you wanted to keep? You can undo it! Press
the Fine button and the Preset knob at the same time. When you release, you'll see an
animation on the outer light ring. You can undo a save, load, clear, or even an undo
(which makes it a "redo").
