ARTURIA – HIPHOP PRODUCER – USER’S MANUAL

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 computer 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 indicates 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.

4.2.3. 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 Program in Browser command from the Programs menu or

the Ctrl-L/Apple-L shortcut in order to locate it in the browser.

• To create a new preset, use the Save Preset As command from the File menu. A window

will appear asking for a name for the new preset. Once the preset is saved using this

command, a new preset icon will appear in the browser directly under the Library folder.

• 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 different 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 Compare 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.
