notes (16 quarter notes) to a thirty-second note (1/8 of a quarter note) where the duration of the
whole note is determined by the host sequencer clock. The effect can also be synced to a triplet or
dotted note. To adjust this parameter, click on the Sync Rate button and choose a rate value from
the drop-down menu.
In standalone mode, when the Sync switch of an effect of module is switched on, the duration
of a whole note is adjusted using the Rate control of the Clock module on the Modes section.
5.1.6 Module Commands
All modules in the Modes, Synth, and Effects sections share a common command menu which is
opened by clicking on the ellipsis icon located on the right of the module label. The Copy command
is used to copy the settings of a module and the Paste command is used to paste them onto another
instance of the module in either layer of a the current sound or in another sound.
Settings which are used often can be saved as presets by using the Save command. One then
chooses a name and the presets is then created. Presets for a module are loaded using the Load
command which opens the module preset window as shown in Figure 20. One navigates through
the list of available presets by scrolling up or down the list or using the arrows in the top right corner
of the window. A preset is loaded once it is selected. It is possible to compare the new settings
with the original ones by clicking on the Revert button in the right section of the window. A preset
can also be renamed or deleted by using the Rename and Delete buttons respectively. Once a preset
has been chosen, it can be applied to the current module by clicking on the OK button. This closes
the window and applies the new settings to the module. Clicking on the Cancel button closes the
window but reverts to the original settings of the module. Note that if the settings of the module
have been changed following a Load command, the Save command in the top left corner of the
interface must be used in order to save this new version of the sound.

Presets for modules are kept in text files on your computer disk. Clicking Show Files button
in the lower left corner of the module preset window opens a Finder or Explorer window on Mac
OSX or Windows respectively at the locations where these files are kept. This might be useful for
backuping presets or exchanging them with other users.
