Presets and Property Pages

Presets are a way to store property page settings so that you can recall the exact same group of

settings again in the future. Effects and soft synths use presets, and so do some other functions

you’ll find in certain dialogs.

You manage presets with the Presets section that appears at the top of a plug-in property page, and

the buttons next to the Presets box.

A. Previous/Next button B. Save button C. The VST button preset controls appear only on VST plug-ins

D. Automation read and write buttons E. Send all keystrokes to this plug-in button F. Delete button G. Presets

The Presets menu displays presets in the following order:

• Most Recently Used presets. These appear at the top of the Presets menu, up to 8 in number,

and followed by a horizontal line to separate this section from the next section of the menu.

• VST factory presets. Any VST factory presets appear below the Most Recently Used section,

and are also followed by a horizontal separator line.

• Cakewalk and user presets. These appear at the bottom of the Presets menu.
