# Views

### Overview

There are two main views in Rift: **Play View** and **Engine View.** To change between them, click on the tabs at the bottom of the interface.

***

**Play View** is the default when you first open the plugin. It provides controls that make it easy to dial in presets, use the distortion engine, and see how the input signal is affected.

Engine View gives you full control over all options and parameters. If you would like to create your own presets or explore Rift’s vast possibilities, we encourage you to dive deeper.
