Unlike the Bank Manager, the Preset Manager or Preset List does not select physical
programs from the TRIGON-6 internal banks. Each VST or AU plug-in comes with its
own separate preset bank. In case of the TRIGON-6 plug-ins this is a totally separate
bank that should not be confused with TRIGON-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 TRIGON-6 Factory
Bank 1 and therefor may look similar to the TRIGON-6 internal bank.
When you select programs in the Bank Manager, you are selecting programs in TRIGON-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 TRIGON-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.
LOAD - You can either replace the whole Preset Bank or just load one program to it.
To load just one program, first select destination location on the list.
SAVE - Saves the whole Preset Bank or selected single presets.
SET CURRENT- Inserts the currently playing preset program into the Preset Bank.
Select a destination location on the list first. It is the same function that you
are presented with when you open Preset Bank Manager when you click on the “hamburger”
icon.
RENAME - Renames the selected Preset Program.
APPLY - Applies a selected preset program. It selects the current preset location
in the host preset bank and sends the selected program to the TRIGON-6 Edit Buffer
for playing.

You can also load programs from TRIGON-6 USER and FACTORY Program banks.

You can also export it as a TRIGON-6 editor Library file (*.t6_l file extension
Format).

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 TRIGON-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.
