After Installation

Having installed the Oddity, select it as an instrument within your host application and
open the Oddity’s edit window, which is its main screen. The Oddity uses two specific file
types: Presets (individual sounds) and Preset Banks (.pbk) (groups of up to 64 Presets).
Preset Banks can be used within the Oddity on either PC or Mac platforms. If a .pbk
file is created within a Windows host, these files can be still be utilized by an Oddity
operating on a Mac host, and vice versa. For specific details, please refer to the PDF
manual.
