..extend the support of floats of the VST parameter module, so that any data (int, string) can be stored in VST patches, using chunks.

That sounds like a good idea to me!

Well i agree but i would say make these as seperate modules but each with the features they require, say for an int parameter you would need a min and max value if there was going to be automation ect.

couldn't you do this now with a bit of parcing hacking?

Im guessing you could as the parsers make lots of things possible, they can be hard to use though so i think standard modules is the best option, im guessing someone could make a really complex parameter system with whats available using arrays and parsers ect though.

I think it's not possible. I could save my data as line N in a text file, store the value N in a VST parameter and restore line N when loading a patch, but this mechanism is on the one hand error prone and I (at least) have to store the name and path of the file in a VST parameter (which is not possible, since I'd need a string for the filename)

    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.
