To open the save menu, click the save button on the main panel to the right of the patch display.

Once open, you’ll face an extensive save panel where you can add tags and information about your patch before saving it.

Collection Column

Select the Collection you wish to save your patch to. You can only choose one.

Category Column

Select the Category you wish to tag your patch with. You can only choose one.

Types Column

You can add up to ten Type tags to your patch.

Timbres Column

You can add up to ten Timbre tags to your patch.

<aside> ⚠️ Types are more functional descriptions - whether a patch is mono or poly, or percussive or legato etc - and timbres are more subjective sonic descriptions. You are free to customise these how you like and even change the tags on factory presets to your tastes.

Adding Tags

You can create new Collection, Category, Type & Timbre tags using the fields at the bottom of each column. For example, if you want to create a new Collection, type the desired name of your new Collection and click on the + icon. That name will appear in the Collection Column above.

For ease of use, you can navigate the fields using tab and shift + tab. The currently focused field will show a white border around itself. When focussing on a ‘Add Tag’ field, pressing the Enter key will trigger the + icon and add the tag, followed by returning focus too said field. This allows you to quickly add tags without using a mouse or trackpad.

Metadata

In this section you type the name of the patch you wish to save, the author of the patch, and any notes (eg hints and tips on how to use the patch).

The author field offers previously used values in the drop-down list.
