PRESETS

PRESET SELECTOR

Touch the preset name to open the preset menu, then select a preset from a wide variety of categories.

Press the GROUPS and TAGS buttons to filter presets. Multiple GROUPS and TAGS can be selected simultaneously.

TIP: To navigate to the previous or next preset, you can tap on the arrows next to the current preset name, alternatively you can swipe left or right on the current preset name to do the same.

FAVORITE

The FAVORITE ★ button is a quick way of grouping all of your go-to presets together as your favorites.

Press the star ★ to add the currently highlighted preset to the FAVORITE group. A ★ will appear on the right side of the preset in the list to indicate favorite presets.

Activating the FAVORITE group to the right of the presets shows only your favorited presets.

EDIT NAME / ASSIGN TAGS

The EDIT button allows existing tags to be assigned to USER presets, and for new tags to be created.

When a USER preset is selected, the EDIT button will turn from gray to a dim green color to indicate that it is available for use. When selected, the EDIT button will turn bright green and the EDIT NAME and ASSIGN TAGS modules appear in place of the usual GROUPS and TAGS modules. Press the preset name to type in a new name for the preset. Select existing tags to assign up to three tags to the highlighted preset, or press '+' to create a new tag and add it to the highlighted Preset.

DELETE PRESET

Like the EDIT Button, the DELETE button is only available for use when a user preset is selected, at which point the button will turn from gray to a dim green. Press the DELETE button to permanently erase the selected preset. A confirmation prompt will appear before the preset is deleted.

OPEN DIRECTORY

On macOS, the OPEN DIRECTORY button opens a finder window of the system folder that contains your USER presets.
On iOS, this button is not available.

NEW PRESET

Press the + button to open the Default preset as a new starting point for sound design.

SAVE PRESET

Press to name and save the active preset.

TIP: If iCloud Drive is enabled on your system, Animoog Z will automatically save a copy of any preset that you save to your iCloud Drive. This makes it easy to access your presets on different devices, but also provides a convenient way to automatically backup your own presets. The SETTINGS > SHARE panel makes it easy to access your iCLOUD DOCUMENTS.

BPM/TAP TEMPO

Certain features of Animoog Z are tempo dependent (DELAY SYNC, ARP, ENV SYNC, LFO SYNC, ...).

The current tempo is displayed in BPM (Beats Per Minute). To change the tempo, click on the BPM value and drag the cursor left or right to edit the value.

Briefly touch the BPM indicator to reveal the TAP TEMPO button. Press at least 3 times to adjust the BPM to match the rate of the input taps.

NOTE: By dragging up or down, you can set the tempo using a finer resolution.

TIP: Tapping the BPM number will open the larger BPM and Tap-Tempo display. Tapping the drop-down BPM number will allow you to enter an exact BPM manually.
