Unlike the Bank Manager, the Preset Manager or Preset List does not select physical programs from the Prophet~6 internal banks. Each VST or AU plug-in comes with its own separate preset bank. In case of the Prophet~6 plug-ins this is a totally separate bank that should not be confused with Prophet~6 USER or FACTORY banks that the PlugSE displays on the Bank Manager panel.

The PlugSE’s preset bank comes preloaded with programs from the Prophet~6 Factory Bank 1 and therefor may look similar to the Prophet~6 internal bank.

When you select programs in the Bank Manager, you are selecting programs in Prophet~6 internal banks using Bank/Program MIDI commands and selected programs are loaded from the internal banks to be played.

When you select select presets using the Preset Manager or FX Preset Lists then selected preset programs are send to the Prophet~6 to be played. Preset programs loaded in that way temporary replace programs in so called Edit Buffer.  

The Preset Program Bank data is saved within the VST/AU project and it is loaded bank when you open a saved project.

Preset Manager / Librarian

Preset Manager and Librarian can be accessed by clicking on the hamburger icon located at top-left corner.

The Preset Manager window has two sections:

Preset Bank Mode manages the preset bank that is used by the DAW host. It is exactly the same list of presets that the VST/AU host displays for preset selection on a track.

Note. VST3 plug-ins may not show the FX Preset bank in the host in the same way as VST2 and Audio Unit plug-in show Preset FX banks.

Also, please not that DAW Preset FX bank list names may not be updated until you save and reload your project

At first, you will be presented with the dialog that will prompt you to set the current patch to a slot in the FX bank. You can click on CANCEL button to go straight to the Preset Bank Manager or select a slot in the FX bank in order to save it for a later use.

The Librarian Mode provides an easy access to Prophet~6 librarian files where programs are organized and saved according to their assigned sound category. To switch to Librarian Mode click on the LIBRARY button.

There are about category 26 buttons under each the number of programs in that particular category is displayed.
