to load in preset data the preset text load component is used along with the preset manager, i'm wondering are you only allowed one preset text load and preset manager in a schematic?

i have a synth with 3 osc's and each osc has 10 'vst param arrays' each containing there own wavetable.

what i want to do is be able to load and save banks of ten wavetables for each osc's, so you can select save bank and it will save all the vst param arrays data in one text file, just like with presets.

what i've done is connected a 'preset text load/save' to just these 10 vst params, and then you can select save to save all ten vst params in one text file.

the vst params have two 'p' connections one for normal presets and then one for the 'load bank', on my initial tests it seemed to work. but then when i've gone ahead and made it how i want it, SM has crashed and i lost what i had done, this has happened twice.

so i just want to make sure before spend time doing it all again if your actually allowed to have more than one preset source.

i'm guessing that it messing with the preset system somehow.

does anyone know if this is allowed? i've had a read of the manual but there doesn't seem to be any info on having separate preset sources.

cheers

I asked this once and was told 'yes'. More than 1 preset manager in a VST will not function properly becuase of a limitation in the VST specification.

back to the drawing board

i've just remembered the 'string array' split component, it should be a doddle using that, i can combine all the wave arrays into one array and then save that, and then when loading it back in, i can use the split component to chop it back up in to separate wave arrays, simple!!

    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.
