To modify a preset name, click in the NAME field and enter the new preset name this will also save
all the current settings.
To change presets information, click on the display, this will open a list when you can select one
of the existing items, or create a new item for this criteria ( Create a new BANK, or a new
CATEGORY/TYPE of instrument etc ).
Note: You can add a new item in any category, and therefore create custom banks, custom
styles, Projects, categories of instruments etc.
Creating Custom Tags : To add a new item in any filed, select "New....". Which appears at the
bottom of the list.
( Note : You may have to browse until the end of the list in order to select "new" depending on
its length.) This will open A Pop Up window opens where you can enter the new name. Click Ok
to validate the new name. The current preset will then be associated to this new item.
Note: Please be aware that creating too many categories can also have its drawbacks, making
browsing go from difficult and painful to nearly impossible. Should you create around 200
different custom instrument categories, it would become very difficult to browse the library
using the Style sorting.
Once you have filled all the desired/required fields:
SAVE AS: Will save the current preset in the chosen Bank, with its new (or unchanged) Name,
and tagged with all the fields you filled in.
MOVE TO: Allows saving the current preset in another location ( BANK) . This is handy to
gather a lot of preset into a single location, or User Bank, which you can export in a single file
containing all the presets you created or edited for a given project. You can also use the MOVE
TO function to only change the TYPE/STYLE/FEELING of a preset, even if you don't move it to
another bank
CANCEL: Will cancel all operations and return to the main miniSyn'X GUI.
