Save a preset

A preset stores a rig: chain structure, parameters, scenes and tone references. Tap the preset name at the top to open the preset window, then pick a bank on the left and a preset on the right. NEW creates a preset in the selected bank. When you change something in the editor, a dot appears before the name and SAVE appears; tap SAVE to overwrite or to save under another name. If you try to switch presets with unsaved changes, the app asks whether to save.

iPhone In portrait on iPhone, tap the field at the top to pick a bank; there is no bank list on the left.

Scenes A–H

Each preset has eight scenes, A–H. Scenes change block On/Off states and parameter values within the same chain, which suits variations such as Clean, Crunch and Lead within a song. A new preset opens with scene A filled. Tap an empty scene (dashed outline) to move to it; as soon as you change a value there, the scene is filled and its outline becomes solid.

Note Scenes are not saved separately: SAVE on the preset stores them too.

Hold a scene (right-click on Mac) for a menu with Rename, Learn MIDI and Remove scene.

Switching behavior

Scene changes apply values without rebuilding the chain.

Caution Preset changes may need tone and chain preparation. Use scenes within one preset for frequent changes while playing, and test transitions between complex rigs on your actual device.

Under Tempo in Settings, Per preset recalls each preset’s own tempo when you open it; Global keeps the tempo you set.
