Find your synths
Analyse your computer so Presetti lists every synth it can use and counts each one's presets. It takes a minute and doesn't render any audio.
Before you start
- Presetti is installed and open.
Presetti can only search presets for synths it knows how to load, so the first step is to see what's on your computer.
Run Analyse
On the Library tab, click Analyse this PC. On a Mac the button reads Analyse this Mac, as in the screenshots.
Presetti looks through your plugin folders. Synths show up in the middle list as they're found, and then each one's presets are counted. A large collection can take a few minutes. Cancel stops it and keeps your previous list.
A plugin that hangs or crashes while it's checked is skipped after 30 seconds and Analyse carries on, so one broken plugin doesn't stop the rest.
Read the results
- The left panel sums it up, for example Found 4 instruments, 5082 presets. Presetti calls the synths it finds instruments.
- Each synth's row has its own preset counts, for example 0 searchable | 78 found: Vital has 78 presets, and none are searchable yet. Searchable stays at 0 until you build the library.
Analyse never makes presets searchable by itself. That happens in the next step, when you build your library.
If a synth is missing
Synths Presetti can't use yet are listed at the bottom with the reason. If a synth you own isn't listed at all, see A synth isn't listed.
