sub-memo vs presets

I don't know how to describe it in synth/audio related terms, so I try this way. While general presets are supposed to save the parameters of entire synth (or I missed something in the description) - is there a way to add some handy "memory banks" for sub-sections of a synth? For example, when you have four oscillators - each one would have it's own sub-presets, automatically stored to some default folder - and displayed as a onscreen list instead of each time loading them from file.

Hi the preset manager controls anything below it in the architecture which is why it is usually placed in the top layer. So any thing you you want controling as a sub preset group into a module and place a preset manager in with them. Of course this will stop the main preset manager effecting those sections unless you add preset parameters to those managers.

Heres another take on it Simple modification on ADSR (ADSR with template settings) its an adsr with presets made using strings but these are preset and not editable from out side the module.

Okay, thanks. Generally I'd like to use the main preset manager and the sub-presets. With the sub-presets I can take simple snapshots of osc ideas, and with the main preset - I should be able to store the project as a whole. I'm doing still most of the gui planning in my head 🙂

I see there is some talk about vst; does the topic refers to vsti only or standalone exe too? I'm getting confused a little bit, because everything is new for me 😉

In my concept that I develop in my head (and slowly in SM schematic) - I'd like to have oscillators made as switchable panels; I prefer readable and comfortable gui, advancement vs simplification. It is logical that one osc can have many parameters. So then - editing parameters on any osc/panel - I'd like to have quick snapshots, independent for each osc/panel. Another panels will be related to grouping common parameters, and thus - it will allow to mix multiple oscs via their presets/snapshots too. Sounds big, but in fact it's very simple, because it's organized.

Will this work in SM? Sorry if I repeat my question, I just lost my track 😉

    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.
