Questions about this section

Where are my presets?

They show up in the Presets tab, under the plugin you saved them from, in the My presets row.

I saved a preset and it does not come with the project. Why?

The synth and its state already go with the DAW project (Section 19). The saved preset is for reuse in other projects.
