Presets and A/B
148 factory presets, sorted by what you're working on. Save your own, add packs, and compare two settings side by side.
Browse presets
- Click the preset name in the header. Init sits at the top, and the rest are in category sub-menus.

- Use < and > beside the name to step through presets in order.
Hover over a factory preset's name to read what it's for. When you change a loaded preset, its name shows an asterisk (*).
Presets can bring their own movement. Many factory presets include modulator curves, so they arrive already moving. To keep your own modulation while you browse, switch on Automation Lock.
Loading a preset never changes Safety or Bypass. Those belong to your session, not to a sound.

Where presets are stored
User presets are .gdsp files in your Documents folder:
- Windows:
Documents\Golden DSP\Pyrosphere\Presets - macOS:
Documents/Golden DSP/Pyrosphere/Presets
If OneDrive manages your Documents folder on Windows, the presets are in the Documents folder inside OneDrive. The folder is created the first time you open Pyrosphere's window. Copy it now and then to back up your presets.
Add a preset pack
- Copy the
.gdspfiles from the pack. - In Pyrosphere, click … › Reveal Preset Folder and paste the files there.
- Close and reopen the Pyrosphere window. If the presets still don't appear, remove the plugin from the track and add it again, or reload the project.
Compare with A/B
Pyrosphere has two working slots, A and B. Each holds a complete set of settings, including modulation, and both are saved with your project.
- Set up a sound you like in slot A.
- Click A>B to copy it into the other slot.
- Click B and make changes.
- Click A and B to switch while the track plays. Switching keeps the settings you leave in their slot.
