How does the preset system work? I've been playing around with the system used in the example synth & it seems that anytime you change a control it affects the current preset so that when you go back toit the control is where you left it, not where it was the first time you called up the preset. This means that you will lose any presets that you create should move any controls. Have I missed something or is there a way round this?

Sorry galaa, I forgot about this one 🙂
You haven't missed something, this is exactly how it works. This was our first pass at the presets and we obviously missed the problem that you're now encountering.
I think it should be relatively easy to rectify this. A boolean input to the Preset Manager would at the very least allow you to control locking of preset parameters. We'll have a think about the best way to proceed and get back to you.
If you have any suggestions or a particular behaviour in mind, do let me know.

The first thing I tried was to connect a string input with "true" in it to the 'Sets the program' input of the preset manager. This seemed to make sense, so this might be the way forward. you could dial in all your settings, connect true to this input and bobs your uncle. Oh, btw, did you know that connecting a switch to the 'sets the program' input causes SM to crash, well at least it does for me as that was what I tried next.

Didn't know about the crash - thanks for letting me know.
