Gen; Preset Browser / File Controls - LinPlug Albino 3 Manual

Gen

The "Gen" control is used to generate random patch settings. To generate
a new patch click on the button and some or all of the current parameter
settings will be changed to new settings. The Gen range is set on the
Albino 3's rear panel (see below). Not all parameters are changed with
each new random patch. With lower settings (e.g. 5%) even less
parameters are affected. Normally, a setting in the range of 2 to 10% will
produce the most interesting and useable results.

Preset Browser / File Controls

The Preset Browser consists of two displays. The upper one shows the
Current Location and the lower one shows the Current Preset. Whenever a
Preset is loaded using the file controls below these displays, the Preset
name is updated with the name of the loaded Preset and the bank name
with the name of the directory that contains the Preset.
By default the Preset Browser points to the factory presets installed with
Albino 3. Presets can be changed in three different ways. You can load a
new Preset with the file controls, which work by clicking the Prev/Next
("arrow") buttons located below the Preset name. You can select the
desired Preset directly from the lower display, which turns into a menu
when you click it. You can also change a Preset by sending a MIDI
program change command to the synth.
The Current Location can be changed by loading a Preset from a different
directory or by selecting the desired location from the upper display, which
also turns into a menu when you click it.
The File Controls located to the right of the Prev/Next ("arrow") buttons are
used for all File-related operations. The Load button opens a dialog that
lets you select a file for loading. The Save button allows you to save the
current Preset settings.
The settings of all sections, including the Volume setting, are saved with
the Preset. The Albino loads and saves all of its Presets directly to hard
disk so your computer's RAM does not limit the number of available
Presets. Note that when you load a Preset using the Master section's file
controls, the previous Preset is erased so if you want to keep the previous
Preset make sure you save it before loading another one. Note that it is
possible to load Albino 2 Presets as individual Layers. To do this it is
