Concepts and terminology
The Engineer was designed with a few concepts in mind, which we’ll try and explain in this chapter.
Presets, projects and the workspace
The Engineer can store up to 28 presets at one time. A preset is a predefined combination of settings you’ve
made, which can all be recalled simultaneously with a click of your mouse, using the remote control or the
built-in scheduler.
There are five types of presets:
• Complete presets (default): This type of preset stores or recalls all available parameters, essentially a
complete snapshot of your current settings.
• Routing presets: This type preset only stores or retrieves the routing settings and BassCreator settings
• Input presets: Stores/retrieves all input settings (input eq’s and gains, simple engineer settings)
• Output presets: Stores/retrieves all output settings (output gains, limiters, crossovers, output eq’s,
delay, phase)
• Engineer presets: Stores/retrieves all advanced Engineer settings
To create a preset, you first have to make the settings you want from the currently active settings. This is
called the “workspace”, which always represents the settings currently on your screen and –when
synchronized properly- what you’re hearing.
When recalling a preset, its settings will copied to the workspace. If a partial preset is recalled, only the
settings defined in that preset are overwritten in the workspace; the rest of the active settings will not be
changed.
Any number of presets together with the current workspace form a project. A project is defined by the
complete content of an Engineer device stored at a given time. You can store a complete project to file (files
with the “epf2” extension) for later usage or for backup-purposes, which is something we recommend.
