Presets, scenes and setlists

OpenRig has three levels, as on most floor units:

Level	What it holds	Switching
Preset	The whole chain: blocks, splits, settings, colours, its 8 scenes and its tempo	20 ms crossfade
Scene	Inside a preset: which blocks are on, their settings, and the splits’ settings	Instant, delays and reverbs ring on
Setlist	Up to 8 presets for a gig, all loaded in memory	20 ms crossfade, no disk access

Presets

The Presets page lists your presets. Tap one to load it; the one playing is marked LOADED.

Presets: Save writes over the current preset, Save as new keeps it and makes a copy.

• Save writes the current chain into the current preset.
• Save as new asks for a name on the on-screen keyboard and makes a new preset.
• The bin deletes a preset, after asking.
• The share icon, next to Save, opens the Rigs panel to export the preset as a rig or install one: see Sharing rigs.

With a rotary encoder, turn to pick a preset and press to load it.

You do not lose anything by not saving: the current chain is kept across restarts. Saving is how you go back to a sound later.

A preset keeps the settings of an LV2 plugin by the name of each control, so an update of the plugin that adds or reorders controls keeps your sound. A preset that uses a plugin this pedalboard does not have (made on another one, or after a removal) still loads the rest of its chain, and saving again keeps that plugin’s settings for when it is back.

Scenes

A preset has 8 scenes. A scene remembers, for every block, whether it is on and its settings, and for every split its A/B side, mix and pans. It does not add or remove blocks: the chain is the same in every scene of the preset.

• The current scene is always being edited: what you change in the rack stays with the scene where you changed it.
• Selecting an empty scene copies the current one into it. Build the verse, switch to scene 2, turn the drive on: that is the chorus.
• A scene change only sends the differences to the audio, without rebuilding the chain, so delays and reverbs keep ringing across it.

Scenes are switched and renamed on the Live page. The top bar shows the current scene in amber above the preset name.

Setlists

A setlist puts up to 8 presets on the footswitches, in the order of your set. Loading it loads every preset in memory, so changing song is instant.

Setlists: New setlist asks for a name; the active one is marked.

On the Slots tab, tap a slot to put a preset on it, or the cross to clear it.

The slots of a setlist, one per footswitch.

Then play it from the Live page in Setlist mode, from the footswitches, or with MIDI program changes.

Typing names

Names are typed on the on-screen keyboard. A USB keyboard works too.
