5.2.3 The Preset Browser
Click on the PRESET BROWSER BUTTON (which also serves to display the currently loaded
preset).
This reveals the
PRESET BROWSER AREA , there are more than 500 presets to get you started.
Here, each of the PRESET TYPES BUTTONS will populate the Category and Presets columns
with its respective category: Ensembles, Ostinatos, Scores, and User (for your own pre-
sets). First, select a Preset Type, then select a Category in the left column, and then
double-click on one of the Presets from the list to load it (or replace an existing one).
Preset Types
The types of presets range from basic ensembles to full fledged scores playing rhythmic
and melodic variation.
• Ensembles are basic combinations of instruments, mostly using the same articula-
tions. If you want to lay down a bed of sustain strings or quickly play staccato chords
with the woodwind section, these presets are your way to go. They are subcategorized
by instrumentation and articulation. Within a subcategory you will find several pre-
sets, that use the same instruments and articulations, but are arranged differently.
Ensemble presets only use the note selection, not the step sequencing.
