ARTURIA – MOOG MODULAR V 2.6 – USER’S MANUAL 51
6 THE INTERFACE
6.1 U SING THE PRESETS
The presets memorize the Moog Modular V sounds. A preset contains all of the inter module
connections and the different controller information necessary for the recreation of an identical
sound. In the Moog Modular V, presets are classed in “banks” and “sub-banks”. Each bank
contains a certain number of sub-banks, which determine 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 comes with several “factory” sound banks. It is possible to create new
“user” sound banks, each containing an unfixed number of sub-banks and presets. For
security, the “factory” settings are not directly modifiable. It is, however, possible to modify a
sound on the base of a factory preset and to record it to a “user” bank.
6.1.1 Choice of bank, sub-bank, preset
The banks, sub-banks and presets being currently used are always displayed in the synthesizer
toolbar.
Display of bank, sub-bank, and preset being used
To choose a preset in the current sub-bank, click on the button on the left of the current
preset, a drop-down menu appears with a list of presets from the same sub-bank. You can
choose another preset in the menu by selecting the corresponding line. Once the preset has
been chosen, you can play the new sound from your MIDI keyboard or sequencer.
Choice of preset in the same sub-bank
To choose a preset in the same main bank, but in a different sub-bank, click on the button on
the left of the current sub-bank, a drop-down menu will appear with the list of sub-banks
contained in the same main bank. Each sub-bank in the menu allows you to open a sub-menu
containing its presets. A click on a preset lets you directly choose a preset in the new sub-
bank.
