Creating and modifying presets in Tesira

Presets are a quick and efficient way to recall a known configuration of one or more DSP blocks within the configuration
file, even across multiple partitions. A preset is part of the Tesira configuration file (.tmf) and can be triggered or recalled
via Tesira software, a Biamp Canvas file, an external trigger (TEC-1, EX-LOGIC), or a control system command
(via RS232 or Telnet/SSH). This article describes the different ways to create and edit presets in Tesira file.

The Preset Manager


Presets can be created and edited from within the Preset Manager. The Preset Manager window can be accessed by
going to View→Docking Windows→Preset Manager.

There is also a shortcut (encircled) on the 'Layout Toolbar' to access the Preset Manager Window:

Adding blocks to a preset
In the preset window, press 'Create Preset'. This will list Preset 1001 in the Preset List pane (Upper pane). The Preset
Name can be changed at this point or by right-clicking and selecting 'Rename'.
The

icon next to the Preset name indicates that it is the active preset. Only one preset can be active at any time. At this
point, you need to choose which DSP blocks will be affected by this preset. There are a number of different ways to do
this:

Add Selected DSP Blocks button


From the configuration file, select the DSP blocks to include
as part of this Preset. Multiple blocks can be selected by holding
down CTRL and clicking on target DSP blocks with the mouse
pointer.

Once all the required blocks are selected, press "Add Selected
DSP blocks" button at the top of the Preset Manager window.
This will list all the selected blocks in the Selected DSP Blocks
pane.

CTRL-drag blocks
Select one or more blocks, Press CTRL and drag the selections
using mouse pointer to the "Selected DSP Blocks" pane and
release. If there are multiple presets, the blocks will be added to
the active preset.

Right-click, Add to active preset


More blocks can be added in the same way as above, or by right clicking on selection and selecting "Add to Preset -
XXXX" from the context menu (where XXXX is the name of the active preset).

Right-click, Create new preset


Similar to previous method, select one or more DSP blocks, right-click and select "Create New Preset" from the context
menu. This action will add a new Preset to the Preset list pane, and will also include the selected DSP blocks in that new
preset.

Editing presets
To modify an existing preset, select the preset in the list and press the "Recall Preset" button (or just double-click on it to
recall it). The active icon

will appear next to the preset name, indicating that it is the active preset.

To edit a block included in the preset, directly open the control dialog for that block in the program, or right-click on the
block in the "Selected DSP blocks" area and select "Open Control Dialog" from the context menu. Selecting "Locate
Block" from the same context menu will highlight the block in the program.

Once the required changes have been made in the configuration/blocks, the settings can be saved into the active preset
by pressing

(Save Last Recalled Preset).

IMPORTANT: The Save option only saves to the last recalled Preset or the ACTIVE preset (represented by the active
icon). Always make sure that the preset being edited has the active icon next to it. If not, hit the RECALL button to
activate it.

Duplicate Last Recalled Preset

: This button creates a new preset replicating all the settings and including all the blocks from the last recalled/currently
active preset. This is a quick way of creating a series of presets with the same set of blocks but with different
settings, e.g., presets for the Matrix Mixer with each one having different audio routing.

Preset properties
The preset properties button gives access to these settings:
This dialog can also be accessed by the right click context menu for
the preset.

Set as power-up default: Selecting this option for a preset will


designate the preset to be recalled on power-up or reboot of the
system. Only one preset can be set as power-up default.

Mute audio on recall: This option will mute system audio for a preset
recall.

Fine Grain Preset


Creating presets as described thus far will affect all parameters and attributes within the selected block(s). For example;
For a 'Level Control' block, a normal preset will always change the state of the 'Mute' button and the 'Fader' control back
to the original state. However, if you only required to change the Mute state and not affect the fader position/value there

is no way to do so with the above methods.

A preset programmed to affect only select parameters of a block(s) is referred to


as a Fine Grain Preset.

The right click context menu on any of the blocks under 'Selected DSP Blocks'
provides the option to 'Select Block Attributes'.

This opens a seperate window which displays all changeable attributes of that
block organized in categories (Inputs, Outputs, Crosspoints etc.) with checkboxes
to select or unselect them to be part of the preset action.

This dialog can also be accessed by the Select Block Attributes button in the
Preset manager window (Shown under 'The Preset Manager'.

Here is an example of a Select Block Attribute dialog for a


2 channel Level Control Block.

Note that all attributes are checked by default. In this


example the preset will always change the Mute and Level
fader to the state at which the preset was saved.

Unchecking any of the checkboxes will exclude the


associated function from that preset.

A right click on any of the checkboxes will present a


context menu to check/uncheck row, columns or all.

Unchecking one ore more attribute within the Select Block Attribute
dialog and clicking OK will result in the associate block listing under
Selected DSP blocks to change to a Salmon color from the default
white.

A salmon colored listing indicates the associated block is under fine


grain control.
