Filter Factory Presets

The following list provides key information about each of Filters

factory presets. The presets are arranged by their primary intended
use. Additionally, within Filter, each preset is proceeded by a letter
that serves as a reminder of its intended use:
B Beats
E Effects
I

Instruments

P Pad
S Spectral
Each preset listing below includes a brief description of what the
preset does, whether or not the presets master tempo is locked to
your hosts MIDI clock, and the preset designers suggestion of the
two most useful parameters to tweak to customize the preset for your
specific audio or to provide additional effects.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If a preset is synced to MIDI clock, you must be
be sure both that MIDI clock is correctly routed to Filter and that
your hosts tempo is accurately set to the tempo of your audio.
Otherwise the preset will not function as designed.
