Hello! I've been looking for options to make the process of auditioning presets from different virtual synths more efficient, and wondered if anybody here had any suggestions. I've been looking for a program that would work as a central location to search for and audition presets from any synth in my collection (or as many as possible), as this seemed to be a more effective solution than opening up a selection of possible synths on different tracks and then searching through the presets of each synth in turn. I discovered a couple of options, including BigTick's Zen , which I have tried but I haven't been able to getting it running on my system. Does anybody know of any alternative solutions?

Thanks for this Tim! This is an interesting problem, one I have not thought of before... Not sure you can "audition presets" without actually loading the VST/AU synth, as the program actually needs loading. When you have down time, I'd suggest just making channel strips (or similar) of the patches you like and then using cubase/logic/ or any DAW to sort them so you can play from there. A lot of it is getting used to the VST/AUs you have. Good problem though - I have actually been working with my business partner on a solution to the "preset" thing for a while, a bit different of an approach. I'll share soon what that is. Best, Sam
Hi Sam! I suspected that might be the case, but I was just curious to know if there were any other tools that might help. Look forward to hearing about what your working on! Thanks again for the advice - really appreciated!
