Preset / patch
A saved set of parameters for an instrument or an effect.
Fine as a starting point. Edit the filter, the envelope and the effects so the sound belongs to your track rather than to everyone who owns the plugin.
Use this in your own career
audioglyph.io keeps your press kit, artist page, smart links, contacts, contracts and analytics together, so terms like preset / patch turn into decisions you can actually track.
