Presets
The factory synth presets, the Movement patches that ship their own modulation, and saving your own.
Presets are complete Synth sounds you can load in one click. Jam Club ships a factory set organised into six categories, and you can save your own patches alongside them.
Factory presets
Bass
Sub Growl, Pure Sub, Acid Bite and Knock Bass — low-end sounds ranging from a clean sine sub to a resonant acid squelch.
Lead
Chip Pluck, Detune Saw, Screamer and Whistler — cutting sounds designed to sit on top of a mix and carry a melody.
Pad
Fifth Dimension, Warm Ensemble, Glass Choir and Dark Tide — slow, sustained sounds with long attacks that fill space behind other parts.
Keys
Church Organ, Reed Organ, Lo-Fi Piano and Harpsi Bite — keyboard-flavoured patches for chords and comping.
FX
Drone Nine, Siren Fourth, Metal Ring and Ghost Rise — atmospheres, risers and textures rather than conventionally playable notes.
Movement
Ocean Pad, Wobble Bass, Chaos Bloom and Shimmer Keys. These are the ones to try first: unlike the other categories, Movement presets ship their modulation routing along with the sound, so they arrive already moving. Loading one is the fastest way to hear what the modulation system does, and to get a working routing you can then pull apart.
Saving your own
Once you have a sound you like, save it as a named user preset. Your presets appear at the top of the preset list, above the factory ones. You can re-save a preset to update it, or remove it with the ✕ next to its name.
Note: User presets are stored in your browser rather than in the track. They follow you between tracks on the same browser, but they are not part of what gets shared when you send someone a track link — the sound travels with the track, the preset entry does not.
Presets and modulation
Loading a Movement preset replaces your modulation routing wholesale, because the routing is part of what makes the sound. Presets from every other category leave your existing routes untouched. This is deliberate: you can build a routing you like and then audition different sounds through it.
The "Custom" label
The preset name shown in the bar is worked out fresh every time it renders, by comparing the instrument's current values against each known preset. It shows a preset's name only while the sound still matches that preset exactly, and switches to Custom the moment you move a knob.
Nothing about which preset you picked is stored in the track. That keeps the label honest in situations where a remembered name would quietly go stale — a reopened save, or a collaborator changing the patch while you watch.
