You can save complete banks or single kits. For information on saving, please read
the corresponding manual section of your host application.
When you save your song or project file, the following information is saved with it:

The number of Attack modules used in the song.

Which banks and kits were used.

The changed settings of edited sounds are also stored.

w

However, if you wish to use the edited version of a program in another song,
then you must save that kit manually before.

Importing VST or AudioUnit Presets into the corresponding plug-in format (Ma-
cintosh only)

VST and AudioUnit use different formats to save the plug-in data. If you had created
a kit in a VST host and want to use it in an AudioUnit host (or vice versa), please
proceed as follows:

Save the kit in the original host as a single Preset or Program. In VST hosts, those
files typically have the suffix „fxp“, in AudioUnit hosts they are called „aupreset“.

Quit that host and start the other host that supports the corresponding plug-in
format. Open an instance of the plug-in.

Select „Import File...“ in the „Edit“-menu of the plug-in editor.

Select the file to import from the Open dialog.

Confirm the selection with OK.

The Preset or Program is loaded and can be played as usual.

Selection of a Kit

To select a kit from a bank, please read the corresponding chapter in the manual of
your host software.

w

AudioUnits (Macintosh only) only support the first kit natively. The other kits of
a bank are stored and loaded anyway but you should avoid to use them becau-
se AudioUnits don’t support anything like „Program Changes“.

Selection and Naming of Sounds

To select a sound from a kit, please proceed as follows:

Click on the Sound selector button on the left hand side of the plug-in.

You will hear the chosen sound. If you want to disable this, hold down the shift
button on your computer keyboard while selecting the sound.

To (re-) name a sound, please proceed as follows:

Hold down the [Alt] key on your computer keyboard while selecting a sound.
Now you can enter a new name.
