If you have created a complex configuration of Overtone Sliders, you might want to save it so that it can be used again later. Overtone Analyzer will automatically remember the slider layouts for the last few audio recordings, but you can also explicitly save a slider layout so that you can use it for different audio files, or on their own.
Saving a slider layout
Click on File / Save Slider Layout and specific where you want to save the layout file. The file type ending is .oa (for Overtone Analyzer Slider Layout Files).
Loading a slider layout
Click on File / Load Slider Layout to open an existing .oa file. This will replace your current slider layout.
Specifying the default layout for new files
By default, when you create a new file, you will have a single overtone slider with a fundamental frequency of 220Hz (which is the note A3).
If you simply want to change the number of displayed sliders, or turn sliders off for new documents, go to Options / Customize / Advanced Settings and change the Initial number of Overtone Sliders.
You can also save a slider layout as DefaultSliderLayout.oa into the folder where Overtone Analyzer is installed. After you restart the application, new documents will use this layout.
Note: You still have to set the number of sliders to appear in the advanced options.
