What do you want to do?

Explore presets

The Preset box contains a tree view of all presets that exist in your Sound Forge installation. Presets are organized by menu and then by function. Click the button to expand a list, or click the button to collapse a list.

Edit a preset

Select a preset and click the Settings button (or double click the preset). Sound Forge opens a temporary dialog for the selected function. You can use the temporary dialog to edit and create presets.

Add a preset to a package

Select a preset in the Presets box and click the Add button to add the preset to the Preset package contents box. When you save the preset package, all of the settings will be saved in the preset package (*.sfz) file.

Remove a preset from a package

Select a preset in the Preset package contents box and click the Delete button to remove the preset from the package. When you save the preset package, the preset will be removed from the preset package (.sfz) file.

Open a preset package

Click the Open button to import the presets from an existing preset package (.sfz) file into your installation of Sound Forge.

Save a preset package

Click the Save As button to save all of the presets in the Preset package contents box as a preset package file (.sfz). This file can then be transported to another installation of Sound Forge or backed up for future use.
