28  ARTURIA – MOOG MODULAR V 2.6 – USER’S MANUAL 
Select the preset bass1 
 The presets, located on the Moog Modular V toolbar, are classed in “banks” and “sub-banks”. Each bank contains a 
certain  number  of  sub-banks,  which  determine  in  general  a  type  of  sound:  sub-bank  “basses”,  sub-bank  “sound 
effects”, etc. Each sub-bank contains a certain number of presets.   
The  Moog  Modular  V  is  supplied  with  800  additional  “factory”  sound  banks, which  allow  you  to  get  acquainted with 
more sounds and sequences of the synthesizer. A bank called “User” offers a selection of presets allowing you to begin 
from a  base configuration to start the programming of a  sound (for  example the sound “1 oscillator” comes with an 
oscillator pre-connected to the first filter – a low pass-, the signal then goes to VCA1). 
  Now let’s modify this preset To do this, we will start with a simple manipulation. Modify the 
cut-off frequency of filter1, the first module on the top left of the synthesizer (a low-pass 
resonant filter). Turn the “frequency” button in the direction of the hands of a watch. The 
sound becomes increasingly “brilliant”. Set this knob as it pleases you. 
The setting of filter1 cut-off frequency 
By  performing  this  first  setting,  you  have  already  modified  the  preset  “Bass1”.  We  will  now 
save the sound that you have created. 
  To  save  this  newly  created  sound  among  the  user  presets,  click  on  the  Save  icon  in  the 
toolbar: the sound setting being used will be saved in the currently selected preset. 
If the current preset is a “factory” preset, the  factory preset will not be replaced (the  “save” 
icon will not be available). To choose another destination for this sound, click on the “Save as” 
icon  and  choose  the  location.  Select,  for  example,  “new”  in  the  choice  of  banks  (“bank”).  2 
new  bank  and  sub  bank  (“Sub  bank”)  locations  and  a  new  preset  are  created  the  names 
“default0”,  “default0”  and  “default0”  will  appear  in  their  respective  displays  (if  other  default 
names exist, then the number is incremented). Click on each one to modify the name of the 3.
