Yes, Eventide have a Library Editor / Manager app. I have been using it and it does simplify managing presets. I enjoyed deleting 90 of the 100 presets. The Library Manager app does not let you adjust any of the 10 parameters within each preset. The presets are set-up using the 8 knobs on the box. That's where the fun starts.

If you are interested...Try and picture this:
There are 10 different pitch effect types.
The 8 knobs have the same function for 2 of the 10 effect types and they are labeled nicely.
For the other 8 effects, the 8 knobs have a variety of different functions, mostly not labeled.

There's a knob labelled "DEPTH / KEY" :
Sometimes it adjusts depth,
sometimes it adjusts key,
sometimes it adjusts filter,
sometimes it adjusts reverb mix,
sometimes it adjusts attack,
sometimes it adjusts modulation.

Same story for all 8 knobs. I would be lost without the "reference guide".
