Trying to save some text into each preset. Can't make it happen. The text is coming from the "Read and write" automation set up that's on the "Formant" knob. Can anybody check my OSM..?

Either I don't truly understand the issue, or I actually managed to help someone even doh I.R.A.Noob 🙂

Attached.

If all you're doing is trying to actually change preset names - double click on your module, and click on the little 'P' on the bottom right corner of the preset manager. In there, bottom right again you'll see 'edit in place' which literally allows you to click on the text and edit it in place.

Haz I helped - or am I not understanding the formant pitch part correctly?

Thanks mate, but yeh, I think I didn't make it clear. I'm trying to save text and re-call it with every preset. Go into formant module till you get to the preset string module.

If I'm looking at the right part of your OSM, it seems you are storing an array of numbers as a text string. Is this right? If so, I believe you may be exceeding the 256 character limit of the string parameter. Why not just use the Float Array preset parameter instead of the String preset parameter?

Good idea. Thanks.

@cyto I'm doing the same exact thing as bilv on a project of my own. Sorry to sound dumb but where is the Float Array preset parameter? Also what am I missing does this way of connecting somehow give a path to disk? Could someone show how this should be hooked up or a picture to clarify where the Float Array preset parameter is? I think I need a lesson on saving presets to text and disk.

Saving to disk is pretty easy. Have a look at this. Hope it helps.

You need this primitive: Preset String is for one line text only.

@Bilv & Mo Thanks that helps. 🙂

A few rules keep this a friendly place. You agree to them once.

Shown next to what you post, here and in the app. It doesn’t have to be your real name: 3–24 lower-case letters, digits or _ (capitals become lower case, spaces become _).

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
