Page 8
Main Menu
The Main Menu is reached from the button located in the upper-left corner of the
Synplant
user interface. The menu contains the following choices:
Undo / Redo
These choices undo or redo recent changes to the loaded patch. The "undo history"
is virtually unlimited, but it will be cleared every time you close the editor window.
Undo and Redo are also available as buttons in the
Synplant
toolbar.
Open Patch…
This item will display a file dialog where you can browse for patches on your com-
puter. You can preview patches directly from within this dialog without needing to
open them first. Simply select a ".synp file" and you will be able to play it directly
from your MIDI keyboard. Click OK to load the selected file into
Synplant
or Cancel
to return to your former patch.
Another way to reach the patch browser is by clicking the
and choose
Browse Patches….
Save Patch As…
This item lets you save the current patch to disk (to a so called ".synp file").
Copy Patch
This copies the currently loaded patch to the clipboard.
(Note that the patch format is in
clear text format. It is actually possible to paste the patch into a text-editor, make modifica-
tions there and copy it back into Synplant.)
Paste Patch

Synplant.

an unpitched sound effect.
Optionally, you may hold down the control-key
(Windows)
or command-key ⌘
(Mac)

to perform this action. While holding down the button you will
hear a preview of the new seed.

currently selected branch as a new seed.
