Is there any way to control the order of the parameters? So lets say in a preset it stores it like:
Cutoff Resonance Master amp
But I want to change it to:
Master amp Cutoff Resonance

When you create a preset file, the order is just the order in which you created the parameters in the schematic. But it seems that you can re-arrange the saved text file containing the presets, and then when it is reloaded, the parameters will follow the order of the edited file. Obviously, you have to be very careful to retain the correct formatting, but there is a tool made by McBarGig that can make the process easier (though it seems VST arrays are more difficult to re-order)...

This is a tool created by SynthMaker and easy to use. I have updated the module for the installer to SM2.
VST Parameter Order V1.0_SM v2.0 Link for registered users only. I apologize to all other users. 😉

Hmm, I dont think it sorts the controls after each other. I duplicated a control in one of my modules (which is linked to the preset module by wireless so I can duplicate the control easily), then renamed it so it will be a different control, and everything got messed up. It pushed everything down, and the presets were not working anymore. So lets say I had controls 1 to 5, and I save the preset like that. I had control 1-3 in one module, and 4-5 in another. In the first module I duplicated one, so I will have a 6th one, and instead of putting it after control 5 it ended up after 3. So presets that looked like this:
control 1 control 2 control 3 control 4 control 5
it became like this and when you wanted to load up the preset it got messed up because they got the wrong values:
control 1 <- control 1 control 2 <- control 2 control 3 <- control 3 control 6 <- control 4 control 4 <- control 5 control 5

Maybe adding a new control makes the manager 'read' the link order over again, undoing all the good work of re-ordering the presets. Possibly the re-ordering should only be done one the plugin is 'finished'?
Only guessing, BTW!

Is software ever finished?
Might be easier to reconnect wireless prefs connectors.

An good idea is to reserve a few parameters for future updates. The parameter amount can not change without mess up presets and compatibility.
