6 Preset Management
6.1 Main Toolbar
In the toolbar you can find two buttons, displaying the category name (Bank, Author, Type, Style, Feeling or
Project), which open the sort management menus.
The first two text fields show the current sorting group and the third shows the current preset.
Clicking the arrow on the left of the category or preset names opens the corresponding menus.
Note: When a parameter is modified, the name of the preset is followed by a
*
, indicating that the current
settings of the
XILS 4
no longer match the stored preset.
When you want to save a modified preset, click on the
Save or Save As
button.
In order to prevent you from erasing them, the Factory presets cannot be modified. When you edit a Factory
preset, the
Save
button will be grayed, and you will have to use the
Save As
function to save it in another
bank.
If you edit any preset, other than a Factory one, the
Save
and
Save As
function will both be available.
The main difference is that the
Save
function will save the preset under its current name, and with its current
tags, overwriting the previous incarnation of the preset, while the
Save As
function opens a dialog box where you
can modify the name of the preset, the bank in which it will be stored, and all its tags
The settings of
KaoX
are then saved in the currently displayed preset, and the
*
disappears. Click on the
Save
As
button to save this preset with another name and/or to other sorting groups.
6.2 Preset menu
Click in the
Preset Name Area
to display the preset list. Here you can choose and load another preset from
the current selected group of presets into the
XILS 4
.
In this menu, other actions are also available:
Delete Preset
: Use this to delete the current preset (a pop-up confirmation window appears). This option is
only available if the current preset is not a factory one.
Export Preset
: Use this function to export the current preset to an external file location. This file can be
imported later as a new bank. It always makes sense to back up your presets on external media.
Open Preset Browser:
opens the preset Manager window in the Browser mode.
