Is there a way to sample a sound (preset) before you load it onto the Little Phatty?
No, the preset is just a set of parameter values, telling the LP how to set up its parameters. If there were a software-LP that could play a sound calculated from the parameter values, it propably wouldn’t sound the same anyway.
The only way would be if the one who publish the preset attach a sound sample file along with the preset file.
Thank you for your kind response Assar. Appreciated!
