I was thinking about something the other day, with Romplers ect now being possible in SM a user thats downloaded a quite big plugin won't want to be downloading it multiple times every time theres an update, so i think it would be really cool if SM could make some sort of patches on export also, I was thinking something like -

When synth ect is exported (must be named) you can save that info, then when the synth has been updated you load this data and SM will check and see whats changed since the original export and create a patch/update for the synth. This to me seems like a cool idea but im guessing it could be very hard to code and is probably something to think about after V1 is released. 🙂

You could always have the 'sample' data seperate from the plugin, instead of it being in the .dll itself. It seems like you could create your own .dat file for example, with all the sample data in - and load/parse the file in your SM schematic/plugin. You could probably even add encryption of some sort if you were so motivated 🙂

Good idea though none-the-less!

Yeah i was thinking about something like that if i ever make a Rompler but its just a good idea for general synths and effects also and would save people money on web transfers when people download from there websites and stuff.
