We have array of floats, integers, strings...

How about a data structure?

One that can load/save an XML file either to presets or a seperate file?

The actual structure comes from the XML, as a tree structure. Like the 'get int' and 'get float', there could be a 'get whatever' module to access the tree.

Why would anyone need this? Isn't this overkill for a synthesizer?

Someone famous once said "Programs = data structures + algorithms"

SM has the algorithms but not the data structures. I find it messy creating a step sequencer using arrays - I'd prefer to use a structure instead.

I'd be perfectly happy if this was implemented through a code module that could accept floats/ints/strings on input and output, and declare structs internally.

There've been a few times I've though it'd be easy if we could create custom structures and then create modules to operate on these 😉

Before your first post

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 _).

    Then your post goes up straight away.

    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.
