Creating Presets
Now we are going to try add the ability to save preset instruments (that is panel controls settings) for our patch. First we better enclose our newly created synth structure within one macro. This is convenient, that we can later handle it as one module.
From within the ensemble structure window press Ctrl->A (select all). Press Ctrl->X (cut). The ProgBox, VR and WaveOut modules are not removed, they cannot be. Create a new macro, call it 'MySynth'. Create two outputs: 'Out' and 'A' (the latter will be using for routing out the envelope activity signal, since we cannot put the VR module inside the macro). Connect Out to WaveOut's L and R and A to the VR.
Switch to inside the macro and paste (Ctrl->V) the modules. Route VC output to Out and amplifier A output to A. Play some keys to make sure everything works.
Set the macro's panel mode to Frame. This way it should look better.
Now right-click the macro and select Presets. Set the parameter value to Yes in the dialog that appears. Switch to the panel. A new control has appeared.
Rearrange controls on the panel and find some place for presets control. Now turn off the Move Controls mode. Left-click the control. The presets dialog appears.
Click Add... . Enter a name for new preset, e.g. My 1st Instr. Now change some controls settings. E.g. boost the resonance. Bring up the presets dialog again and click Add... . Type in a new name e.g. Heavy Reso.
Now left-click the preset control and double-click My 1st Instr. The controls should revert to the stored state. Now select Heavy Reso. The controls should change to another state.
