	The Notepad is an incredibly simple device for writing notes and placing them within effect chains. You can use them to remind yourself, or inform others, of the functionality of a particular effect chain. They are especially handy for Doofers and Splitters where ~~effects are often minimised and short~~ [[Effect_Chains#Common_Device_Layout_and_Controls\|device names]] may not be informative enough.		The Notepad is an incredibly simple device for writing notes and placing them within effect chains. You can use them to remind yourself, or inform others, of the functionality of a particular effect chain. They are especially handy for Doofers and Splitters with complex macro mappings, where custom [[Effect_Chains#Common_Device_Layout_and_Controls\|device names]] may not be informative enough.

	Saving a Doofer or Splitter as a preset will save it and all contained devices as a native effect. It will be added to the [[Effect_Chains#The_Effects_List\|effect list]] under the Doofers/Splitters section, where you can add it to ~~a track~~ just like you would with any other device. Exporting a Doofer or Splitter allows you to share it with other people - though of course if it contains any [[Plugin Effects\|non-native plugins]], then those will need to be installed on their system as well.
