How can I find what instrument a "Default Preset" is using?

In the “shorties” folder that comes with LMMS I found a clip named Greshz-CoolSnip and it only uses two instruments, “bassdrum03” and “Default Preset”. But what is “Default Preset”? How can I use it myself?

"Default-preset" is the name of a sound-generator of any type from the group MyInstruments in sidebar.
If the project-creator omit to give that instrument a descriptive real name, after he has made changes to the UI, then that preset will still have the 'name' default-preset. So in a way, it is a fault of the composer.
You can however reuse that preset as you like:
Press the save-icon
Image
type in the name you want that new preset to have
save it.
The previous default-preset in 'some-project' will now be added to the sidebar category MyPresets, and with the name you typed when you saved it.
