# Patch Share - Community Templates for MIDI Controllers

# Patch Share – Share and Discover Community Presets
Patch Share is a feature in the Morningstar Editor that allows users to upload, browse, and download preset and bank files created by the Morningstar community. It’s a fast way to discover controller setups for specific pedals, amps, loopers, synths, and workflows — or to share your own creations with other users.
You can access Patch Share here:
