Alloy has over 100 Presets designed by professional engineers, composers, musicians and sound designers. These presets are designed to help with common mixing techniques and tools for applications like Drums, Guitar, Bass, Vocal, Utility, Special Effects and Orchestral recordings. Each preset contains a defined MacroPreset layout displayed in the Macro screen module on Alloy's interface. The Macro screen will display the most useful controls for the described application for each individual preset.
To access the Preset Manager, click the Preset button on the Alloy faceplate or press Ctrl+P.

Preset Folders
Alloy presets have been sorted and organized into separate categories or preset folders. This makes finding a good starting point for your session quicker and easier. The default preset folders that are included with Alloy are shown below.
Dock and Undock
Clicking the Undock button at the bottom of the Preset Manager opens a floating window. This lets you work with the Preset Manager while still being able to view the edit windows for the individual Alloy modules. To have the Preset Manager return to the Alloy interface click the Dock button.
Note: The 'Advanced button' allowing you to create your own MacroPresets is not available in the Docked preset manager. To design your own MacroPresets, you must work inside of the Undocked preset manager.
Options
Show at Startup: With this option on the Preset Manager will automatically be displayed every time that a new instance of Alloy is called up inside of your host application.
