2.3 Editing and Saving Presets 21

A Preset can also be loaded from the preset library. It is then stored in the

current program replacing the preset that was already stored in this location. It

then becomes immediately available to the synthesis engine. Different options are

available to load a preset from the preset library into the current program:

• In the browser, double-click on a preset icon.

• Drag and drop presets from the browser onto the Lounge Lizard Session

interface.

• Select a preset by clicking on its icon and use the Enter key from the com-

puter keyboard. Once a preset has been selected in the library, it is possible

to navigate in the library using the Arrow keys from the computer keyboard.

A preset is selected when its name is highlighted.

• Select a preset and use the Open Preset command from the File menu or the

Ctrl-O/Apple-O keyboard shortcut.

Note that when a preset is loaded from the preset library to the list of programs,

the program name displayed in the toolbar changes but not its number. This indi-

cates that the current program number used by the synthesis engine is still the same

but that the preset corresponding to that program has changed. The 128 programs

can therefore be customized by selecting different program numbers (by using the

‘+” and ‘−” buttons from the toolbar or selecting programs from the program list)

and loading presets from the library.

2.3 Editing and Saving Presets

Moving the different controls on the Lounge Lizard Session interface modiﬁes the

preset loaded in the current program. As soon as the current program is modiﬁed,

the preset icon located on the left of the program name in the toolbar changes color

and a ‘*” sign is appended to its name in the program list. In this state, the preset

loaded in the current program is different from its original version stored in the

preset library even if they share the same name. If you wish to keep a permanent

copy of the modiﬁcations, you must save this new version in the preset library.

• To save the new version in the preset library, use the Save Preset command

from the File menu or the Ctrl-S/Apple-S shortcut. Be careful, however, as

using this command will overwrite the original preset. If you are not certain

of which preset will be overwritten in the library, ﬁrst use the Locate Pro-

gram in Browser command from the Programs menu or the Ctrl-L/Apple-L

shortcut in order to locate it in the browser.
