Tips for accessing presets

↑The picture shown is when one sound patch is being used.

When changing from one sound to another

When “double clicking” a different sound, it “adds” the sound rather that “replacing” it, and the previously uploaded sound remains

The 2 sound tabs become a little cluttered.

In this case, you can “drag and drop” the new sound onto the old,
and replace the previous sound with the new sound that was dragged.

Also, by clicking the arrow shown in the red box,
you can easily change the sound to the next preset in the folder.

Searching from the data base

↑ By clicking on the “Database” tab, you can search without having to scroll through the rack.
By clicking the instrument you want to access (shown in the red box), the results will show up below.

You can access these by “double clicking” or “drag and drop.”
