Selecting Presets
To access the Preset Manager, click the Global button under Presets in the
lower right corner of the Nectar faceplate or press Ctrl+P.
Loading Presets in Nectar
You can select and audition any preset by simply clicking on the name in the
list. This will activate selected Nectar modules and you will hear the effect of the
preset when you playback your audio. You can easily compare several different
presets just by picking a different name on the list.
Working with Presets in Nectar
Once you have selected a preset from the list, you may choose to change the ori-
ginal settings within a specific module. When you change any of the original set-
tings within a preset you will see an asterisk* added to the beginning of the
preset's name. This means that the preset has been altered. If you want to keep
these settings you need to Add a new preset or Update the existing preset.
Working Settings
If you modify a preset's settings, then these modified settings become your
"Working Settings". Your Working Settings will always be at the top of the preset
list within the preset manager. This allows you to freely preview and compare dif-
ferent preset options. When you are done, you can return to your Working Set-
tings by selecting the item at the top of the Preset Manager labeled <Working
Settings>. To select a preset and have it replace your Working Settings, just
select the name of the new preset and click the Close button.
Sort by Name, Last Used, or Last Modified
As a convenience you can sort presets by name, by the time/date last used, or
the time/date last modified.
Last Used
A preset is considered "used" when you select it and you close the preset sys-
tem dialog. The last used time/date stamp is not updated when you are select-
ing and auditioning presets from the list.
