This includes fixing em-dashes, badly spaced colons, various
misspellings, removal of spurious {% %} constructs, conversion of <br />
to <br> (still too many <br>s kicking around), and initial light cleanup
of a few sections that caught my eye.

All plugin control widgets, whether they are created by Ardour or
|
|
by the plugin, have a common set of controls at the top of the window.
|
|
These include 4 controls for managing <dfn>plugin presets</dfn>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>What Is a Plugin Preset?</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
A <dfn>preset</dfn> for a plugin is simply a saved set of values for
|
|
all of a plugin's parameters. If you load a preset, you are restoring
|
|
all the parameters of that plugin to the values stored in the preset.
|
|
This is an easy, fast way to manage your preferred settings for
|
|
particular plugins.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>The Preset Selector</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <dfn>preset selector</dfn> is a regular selector that can be
|
|
clicked to display a list of all known presets for this plugin. This
|
|
will include presets that you have created yourself, and for some
|
|
plugin formats, presets that come with the plugin itself.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Load a New Preset</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Click on the preset selector to pop up a menu showing the names of
|
|
all available presets. Click on the name of the preset you wish to load.
|
|
The preset will be loaded—you may see various controls in the
|
|
plugin editor change to reflect the new value of some or all parameters.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Create a Preset</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
To save the current plugin settings as a new preset, click on the
|
|
<kbd class="menu">Add</kbd> button at the top of the window. A dialog
|
|
will appear to ask for the name of the preset.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Save a Preset</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you wish to modify the settings in an existing preset, first use
|
|
the preset selector to load the preset, then adjust the settings as
|
|
you wish. When done, click the <kbd class="menu">Save</kbd> button
|
|
and the new values will be stored, overwriting the previous version
|
|
of this preset.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Delete a preset</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
To delete an existing preset, use the preset selector to load the preset.
|
|
Click the <kbd class="menu">Delete</kbd> button, and the preset will be
|
|
removed. The preset selector turn blank, showing that no preset is
|
|
currently loaded (although the settings will stay as they were).
