2 Presets and MIDI maps

Ultra Analog VA comes with several factory presets covering a wide range of sounds. This col-

lection of presets lets you play and familiarize yourself with this synthesizer without having to

tweak a single knob. Soon, however, you will be experimenting and creating your own sounds and

projects that you will need to archive or exchange with other users. You may also want to control

the parameters of Ultra Analog VA with a speciﬁc MIDI controller. In this chapter, we will review

the management of presets and MIDI maps.

2.1 Presets

There are two concepts involved in the management of presets, the preset library and programs.

2.1.1 The Preset Library

The preset library contains the factory presets, modiﬁed versions of

the factory presets you might have made or any other new presets you

might have saved. The library may also contain imported presets as well

as MIDI maps as explained in Section 2.6 and 2.7. In other words, the

preset library is a repository of all the presets and MIDI maps available

to Ultra Analog VA.

All the operations on the preset library are conveniently managed

with the help of the Ultra Analog VA browser, similar to those found

in most email programs which use a hierarchical tree structure and a

visually intuitive, drag and drop approach. To explore the different pre-

sets available in the library, open the different folders by clicking on the

“+” icon Windows or I symbol on Mac OS to the left of folders. Each

preset is represented by a blue knob icon followed by its name.

2.1.2 The Program list

Presets are loaded into the synthesis engine of Ultra Analog VA

from a list of 128 numbered presets called programs. The name of the

current program and its number are displayed in the left of the toolbar

at the top of the application window. The entire list of programs can be viewed by clicking on the

H button left of the program number.

It is important to note that presets in the program list and in the preset library are stored in

different locations. They are in fact different copies of the same presets which may, as explained

below, differ even if they share the same name. The version of a preset available in the program
