Synchronic Presets

Each module has 12 presets available, as follows:

Sound module presets are used to load and store audio files (loops).

Playback, Effects, and XFade module presets are used to store and recall various Edit mode settings.

MIDI module presets store MIDI control assignments (which can include combinations of presets from each of the other modules).

Plug-In settings and presets can be shared between the AudioSuite and RTAS versions of Synchronic. However, the AudioSuite version of the plug-in can import and export only information stored for the Sound, Playback, and Effect modules in the first preset.

Synchronic presets are unique to each instance (each insert) of Synchronic in a session. To save the global state of Synchronic presets in a given instance, use the plug-in librarian (see Synchronic Plug-In Settings).

Synchronic presets can be triggered by the MIDI module in Performance mode, or a Pro Tools Instrument or MIDI track, or an external MIDI keyboard controller for performance situations (live or in the studio).

For information about assigning keys and MIDI controllers in the MIDI module, see Synchronic MIDI Module Overview.

Presets can also be selected using plug-in automation or even your computer keyboard.

In Keyboard Focus mode, you can select presets using your computer keyboard (see Synchronic Keyboard Focus Mode).
