You will find a broad variety of program examples with direct application in many music styles, but
with the main focus of showcasing the sound processing and modulation of Z3TA+. By reverse-
engineering the factory presets, you will be able to edit, adapt, and enhance the factory programs to
fit your tracks perfectly, or use them as a starting point for completely new sounds.
The Program menu allows for several common operations like saving and loading programs and
banks, and copy/paste/initialize programs.
You can also click the Random Program button to have Z3TA+ select a random program, or
click the Preset Search button to search for programs by name.
Copy/Paste/Paste Special/Initialize Programs
It is possible to copy a program to another slot in the same bank or other bank, by using the Copy
and Paste options in the Program menu.
The Copy and Paste functions work also amongst different instances of Z3TA+ when used as a
VSTi (Windows version only), VST (OSX version only), or AU (OSX version only). They will hold the
last copied program, so you can load a different .fxb bank and paste it there. This is a very useful
function when arranging programs in bank files.
The Paste Special function allows you to copy part or individual components of one program to
another. This is very useful when creating new patches based on existing or factory programs.
To initialize a program to a basic status, click the Program button and choose Initialize program. All
settings on the program will revert to default, allowing you to start programming from scratch.
When initializing a program, Z3TA+ looks for a preset called default.fxp in the Contents\Z3TA+
2\Programs folder.
