### Presets

**Initialize Preset.** Reset the current settings by loading the **Default** preset.

**Show User Presets.** Open the folder containing Rift’s user presets. From here you can organize and customize your packs. Be sure to rescan preset folders after making any changes.

### **Documentation**

**View Manual.** Open Rift’s online manual in your default browser.

**Walkthrough.** Launch Rift’s onboarding walkthrough, which is presented after activating the plugin for the first time.

### **Support**

**Get Help.** Open our online [**Support Page**](https://support.minimal.audio/) in your default browser.

**Collect Support Info.** Use this option to collect all relevant information that might be helpful for our support team when tracking down possible bugs. The .zip file it creates contains the plugin’s logs, current preset, license file, and global settings file.

**View Logs.** Reveal the log files stored on disk. Our support team may request these when diagnosing an issue.

**Log Crash Reports.** When enabled, OS crash reports are added to the logs. Turn this on only when troubleshooting a crash with our support team.

**Log Level.** Set the level of detail in Rift’s logging. Normally there’s no need to change this unless requested by support.

### **Audio Engine and Playback**

**Internal BPM.** Scales the internal tempo to 1/4x, 1/2x, 2x, or 4x of the DAW’s tempo. Applies to all BPM-synced values (e.g., LFO rate). This is an instance-specific setting and does not change when loading presets.

**DC Filter.** When active, Rift’s output will pass through a filtered designed to remove any DC offset introduced by the distortion stages. This is a standard technique for ensuring that no sub-sonic frequencies are introduced, but it can be toggled off if the raw distortion is preferred.

### **Graphics Settings**

**Window Size.** Set the default plugin window size. This setting is shared across all plugin instances.

**Frame Rate.** Adjust how often Rift’s animations update. A higher frame rate improves visuals but may consume more resources. This setting is shared across all plugin instances.

**Enable OpenGL.** When enabled, graphics are rendered using OpenGL. This can reduce graphical issues on some systems, particularly on Windows. This setting is shared across all plugin instances.
