2.4 Saving the Program List 22

• To create a new preset, it is also possible to rename the program using the

Rename Current Program from the MIDI menu (or the Ctrl-R/Apple-R

keyboard shortcut) and use the Save Preset or Save Preset As commands.

When editing presets, it is very helpful to go back and forth between the dif-

ferent stages of your modiﬁcations and adjustments. To move back step by step

through every modiﬁcation that was applied to a preset, use the Undo command

from the Edit menu or the Ctrl-Z/Apple-Z shortcut. Once the Undo command

has been used, it is also possible to move up again through the modiﬁcations by

using the Redo command from the Edit menu or the Ctrl-Y/Apple-Y command.

The number of Undo levels is unlimited and that this command is effective on any

control of the interface but not on the different Save commands.

Once a preset has been modiﬁed, it is also possible to move back and forth

between the current state of the preset in the program list and its original version

archived in the preset library. To hear the original preset, simply click on the Com-

pare button at the top of the interface or use the Compare command from the

Edit menu. Once this button has been pressed, the original settings of the preset

are loaded. In this mode, the graphical interface is frozen and it is therefore not

possible to modify the preset. To further modify the preset, click on the Compare

button again or uncheck the Compare command in the Edit menu to revert to the

modiﬁed version of the preset and unfreeze the interface. To reload the original

version, use the Locate Preset in Browser command from the View menu, or the

Ctrl-L/Apple-L shortcut and double click on its icon in order to reload this version

into the current program.

Ultra Analog Session will make sure that you do not loose modiﬁcations to a

preset. In the case where a program holds a modiﬁed version of a preset and when

trying to load a new preset from the library into this program, the application will

ask you if you want to save the modiﬁed preset in the library. This behavior might

not always be convenient and it is possible to deactivate it by deselecting the Ask

to save preset before opening another option in the Preferences command from

the Edit menu.

2.4 Saving the Program List

When you open Ultra Analog Session, the applications always loads the same pro-

gram list. This implies that, by default, the program list will always contain the

same presets when you open the application and that your modiﬁcations to presets

will be lost unless they have been saved in the preset library.
