	Presets can also contain a brief description, often providing useful information about how it is supposed to be used. This description is shown immediately in the right panel when a preset is clicked on. A description can be created or changed by clicking the [[Image:dux1.0_presetselector-comments.png\|baseline]] / [[Image:3.~~1_presetselector~~-comments.png\|text-bottom]] info icon in the Preset Selector, bringing up an edit box. Any preset can have its description edited, even bundled content, but new versions of those presets must be saved into your User Library.

	An instrument in Renoise may contain one or any combination of [[Sampler\|samples]], [[Plugin\|plugins]] and [[MIDI]], and each type can be edited by selecting the appropriate tab from the top left of the Renoise interface. To edit an existing Renoise instrument or create a new one, select a slot from the list in the [[Instrument Selector]] panel. Changes made to an instrument in the Instrument Editor are applied ''before'' the sound reaches the [[Pattern Editor]].

	An instrument in Redux is mostly identical to a [[Sampler\|sample-based]] instrument in Renoise, but with more emphasis on the use of the [[Phrase Editor]] to compose musical phrases and then activate them when specific notes are played. Redux can also use [[MIDI#MIDI_Output\|MIDI Output]] to send instrument data to its host DAW, with the most obvious use being the direct control of other instruments.

	Found at the top center of the interface, the Preset Selector is used to load, save, browse, search and filter instrument presets, amongst other things. By default, the selected preset will be blank and set to initial values. In Redux, when a preset is loaded in, a short description will be displayed underneath the name.

	Just above the instrument properties and to the left of the [[Track Scopes]] options is the [[Image:3.5_modulation-detach.png\|text-bottom]] Detach button. It opens the instrument editor in a completely separate window, which can be moved around and resized. There are also additional buttons at the window's top right corner for minimizing, maximizing and closing. Clicking [[Image:3.5_modulation-attach.png\|text-bottom]] Attach will reattach the window to the main interface.

	The [[Track Scopes]] provide a visual representation of your song, allowing you to examine the frequency and amplitude of the final audio signal or see what's currently happening in each individual track. The icons for toggling the [[Track Scopes]] can be found near the top right of the interface:		The [[Track Scopes]] provide a visual representation of your song, allowing you to examine the frequency and amplitude of the final audio signal or see what's currently happening in each individual track.
