MUTOOLS • Re: MuLab is incredible. Few newbie questions.

Insert Module (Mulab browser pop-ups). From the module list go to Audio Processors and then pick module "Amp Distortion". When it loads - how do you save this module as a preset?

1. Insert a MUX Modular first
2. Switch to the modular view
3. Insert the Amp Distortion
4. Rewire the Audio In to the Amp Distortion audio input
5. Wire the Amp Distortion audio output to the Audio Out
6. Wire the MIDI In to the Amp Distortion MIDI in
7. Edit MP1 and map it to Amp Distortion Input Gain
8. Edit MP2 and map it to Amp Distortion Output Gain
9. Switch back to front panel view
10. Adjust the parameters to the values you want for your first preset
11. Save the preset to your User Library

Ideally a lot of this repetitive process could be simplified if there was a way to make "Amp Distortion" the main module of the MUX and have MuLab automatically wire the ins, outs and MPs to the main module. Once you've saved the first preset for your wrapped up Amp Distortion, though, you just twiddle the knobs on the front panel and save a new preset if you want to keep it specially.

(Obviously, any MUX Modular could have multiple component modules within it and a "main module" might not make any sense, so always doing this wouldn't make sense either - nor would saving presets for those components modules, like the Amp Distortion here, in my view. I'd prefer it if there was a clear distinction kept between loading a MUX Effect or Synth, with its settings, and the component modules, which would have their fixed defaults. Of course, any MUX Effect or Synth can be treated as a component in another MUX Modular creation -- and it would load its own "defaults" - i.e. the settings it was saved with - in exactly the same way as "loading" a built-in component module.)
