Parameter Preset Groups

Parameter Preset Groups are user selected groups of parameters for use with Parameter Presets.

A Parameter Preset Group is a collection of parameters. Parameters from various processing objects and devices can be included in the same group. Parameter Preset Groups can be created either by right clicking on a processing object (e.g. a gain), or a control panel object (e.g. a fader), and selecting New Parameter Preset Group. Alternatively, a group of parameters can be selected from a custom control panel and by right clicking on the selection, a new Parameter Preset Group can be created which contains the selected objects. Further parameters can be added to a group at a later time by using the Add to Parameter Preset Group selection from the right click menu. When using this menu option, a dialog appears with a list of all existing Parameter Preset Groups. Parameters can be added to a group in this way, thus building up a Parameter Preset Group containing the relevant parameters and no others.

Parameter Preset Groups can be created, renamed or deleted by using the Preset Toolbar.

Click on the 'New Parameter Preset Group' button and enter a useful name for the group, e.g. "Audio Volumes". Parameters can be added to the group later.

If you attempt to add a parameter to a group and it has already been assigned to that group then a dialogue will warn that the operation cannot be completed because these parameters are already included in the group.

Parameter Preset Groups appear in the Design tree in the 'Presetsâ' folder. Dragging a group onto a control panel will create a preset selector on the control panel which allows selection of the parameter presets within that group. Dragging a Parameter Preset onto a control panel will create a preset recall button.

To check the contents of a group use the Stored Parameter Value Editor found on the Preset toolbar. The device which has controls stored in the Parameter Preset Group will be shown in the left hand pane. Open up the tree and you will see a list of the names of all the processing objects which have parameters included in the group. Clicking on a processing object from this list will display its parameters which are included in the group and their preset values in the right hand pane. The preset values can also be changed here.
