1 Persistence 2 ----------- 3 4 As with most applications ZynAddSubFX allows for one to ave your work and reload 5 it. 6 7 Saving it all 8 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 9 10 One of the simplest ways to save your work is to save the entire session. 11 This can be done through the File menu and will result in the creation of an 12 .xmz file. 13 Once created, this file will hold the settings for all settings within that 14 session, such as microtonal tunings, all patches, system effects, insertion 15 effects, etc... 16 17 Saving Parts 18 ~~~~~~~~~~~~ 19 20 In many cases saving everything is not what is desired. 21 Saving a patch later on is one such example. 22 23 Patches 24 ^^^^^^^ 25 In order to save a patch, one can either save it from the instruments menu or 26 through the bank window. 27 28 With the instrument menu, one can just save the file to any given location with 29 the .xiz extension. 30 31 With the banks menu, one can assign a patch to a given slot with a bank. 32 This instrument will remain here for future use until it is deleted. 33 To see the physical location of the .xiz file, one should check the 34 File->Settings->Bank_Root_Dirs window to see the paths for banks. 35 36 NOTE: You need to have write permissions to add instruments to the bank. 37 38 Presets 39 ^^^^^^^ 40 Have a favorite setting for an envelope, a difficult to reproduce oscillator? 41 Then presets are for you. 42 Presets allow for one to save the settings for any of the components which 43 support copy/paste operations. 44 This is done with preset files (.xpz), which get stored in the folders indicated 45 by File->Settings->Preset_Root_Dirs. 46 47 Summary 48 ~~~~~~~ 49 50 .Extension Summary 51 [literal] 52 xmz Everything 53 xiz Instrument 54 xsz Scale Settings 55 xpz Presets
