Operation Manual

4.8 Output Effect Stage 60
The modular architecture of the Tassman allows you to save and load presets for all hierarchy
level of your instruments. It is possible to save and load control settings for a given module, for
a sub-patch or for the whole instrument. Presets are saved in the corresponding folder under the
instrument, sub-patch or module name. As an example, if you create a preset for a Plate module,
it will be saved in the Module section in the Resonators folder under Plate.
• To save settings for a module, click on the downward pointing arrow on the lower left corner
of the module.
• To load settings for a module, click on the upward pointing arrow on the lower left corner of
the module, this will highlight the module in the Browser. Then, drag and drop a preset from
the Browser on the module. You can also drag and drop a preset directly from the Browser
without clicking on the arrow on the module.
When you load presets for a module, all the presets saved under the module will appear in the
browser. This means that settings saved for one module can be loaded by another module of the
same type. This is very helpful when you have several identical modules in an instrument and you
want to set them all exactly the same way (filters, for example).
Presets for sub-patches are saved and loaded (just as for modules) by clicking on the upward or
downward pointing arrows appearing in the lower left corner of the sub-patch. To save settings for
the entire instrument, use the Save Preset or Save Preset As commands from the File menu.
Note that a default preset can be assigned to a given instruments. In this way, the controls of
the instrument front panel will be adjusted according to this default preset when the instrument
is launched. To assign a default preset right-click/control-click on the preset you want to use as
default, select Preset Info from the menu and check the Mark as Default box in the Edit window.
4.8 Output Effect Stage
The output effect stage is always displayed in the top row of the Tassman. This effect stage is
added to each Tassman synth and allows one to add effects to the sound, record on the fly, export
loops as wave or aiff files for further processing and control the tempo and sync sources (internal
or sync to host) of sequencer or effect modules.
The Sync module
This module is used to control the tempo of the Sequencer, Sync LFO and Sync Delay modules
when they are connected to the Master Sync Input module. The ext/int switch is used to determine
