What Are SWAM Templates?
Templates vs. Presets
The term "Template" was introduced with the v3.8 update for SWAM Solo Instruments and v1.2 for SWAM String Sections. This term replaces "Quick Reset" and "MIDI Preset" to clarify the subtle difference between applying/resetting settings and recalling a complete preset. In the SWAM ecosystem, "Presets" mainly refer to the synthesis engine and sound engine data. These can be combined with other settings like MIDI Mapping, Micro Tuning, and Room Simulator configurations.
When you apply a template, you modify specific parts of the system, such as MIDI Mapping for using a new controller or changing Room Simulator settings without altering the sound. This terminology shift helps users better understand and utilize the different functionalities within the SWAM ecosystem.
