+# Presets by Vibe — Cross-Reference
+
+> Maps natural-language vibe descriptors to specific Sounds library presets, effect device settings, processing chains, and drum kits.
+> A single preset or kit can appear in multiple vibes. When the user describes a mood, texture, or aesthetic, use this file to select instruments and processing that match.
+>
+> **How to use:** User says "I want something dark and hypnotic" -- check both **Dark** and **Hypnotic / Repetitive** sections, combine instruments from one with chains from the other.

+## Combining Vibes
+
+When a request spans multiple vibes, follow this approach:
+
+1. **Pick instruments** from the primary vibe category
+2. **Pick effects chain** from the secondary vibe category (or blend elements from both)
+3. **Pick drum kit** that fits the dominant rhythmic feel
+4. **Adjust processing** to bridge the two vibes -- typically this means:
+   - Take the chain from one vibe and swap one device for one from the other
+   - Use the EQ/filter settings from the darker/moodier vibe
+   - Use the spatial/time effects from the more atmospheric vibe
+
+### Common Hybrid Combinations
+
+| Combo | Recipe |
+|-------|--------|
+| **Dark + Ethereal** | Ethereal instruments with Dark EQ (cut highs) + Dark Hall reverb instead of Shimmer |
+| **Aggressive + Glitchy** | Aggressive distortion chain + Beat Repeat/Redux before or after |
+| **Warm + Cinematic** | Warm instruments + Cinematic reverb sizes and automation |
+| **Lo-Fi + Hypnotic** | Lo-Fi processing chain on Hypnotic rhythmic presets |
+| **Cold + Massive** | Cold/Digital instruments stacked with Massive widening and layering chains |
+| **Organic + Dub** | Organic instruments processed through Dub delay/reverb chains |
+| **Acid + Dark** | Acid filter settings with Dark reverb and EQ cuts |
+| **Intimate + Ethereal** | Intimate dry/close processing with one Shimmer reverb at low wet (10-15%) |
