OPT panels

OPT stands for Open Plug-in Technology. If you have a Yamaha sound module that uses OPT panels, you can open the panels directly from Sonar, edit your sounds, and save them as presets.

To open an OPT panel

1.	Make sure your Yamaha module is connected to your computer and turned on.

2.	Use the Views > OPT Panel command to display the submenu of installed OPT panels, and click the name of the OPT panel you want to display.

The OPT panel appears.

3.	If you want to edit a preset you’ve previously created, choose the preset from the Presets window; otherwise type a name for your new preset in the Presets window.

4.	Edit your sound (each OPT panel has its own help file).

5.	Click the floppy disk icon that’s next to the Presets box to save your edited sound.
