Downloaded tones and the Spark physical knobs

[mspetrovic]

In what position should each of the physical knobs be to hear a Tone Cloud tone as the original uploader intended? I notice that turning the knobs affects these downloaded tones, not always for the better.

Thanks.

@mspetrovic you don't need to touch the knobs when the user patch is downloaded.
If you touch the knobs even a tiny bit, they automatically default to what your knob value is.
You can note the values on the app and make a note of them and then redial them in, or just reload the patch

Also keep in mind that your sound chain and that of the Preset Originator will probably be different; so it won’t sound “identical”. I’ve found that most Presets downloaded from the ToneCloud will be too loud or soft, with too much or little gain, and way too much reverb for my setup. I can usually dial it in using the Preset Amp Gain and Volume, with a tweet of the Reverb.
