Here's a treat for you; Ernst's Hot Preset Manager!

kirkagur · 1 Jul 2008

very very very nice!!!

easy to use!

i notice that when you load a program the preset name retern to program(X) and not to the name of the loaded preset

Thorsten · 1 Jul 2008

I think it needs to be inside a module with some controls it can connect to. Try that 🙂

HEY COULD YOU CREAT A WAVE MANGER?

Certainly!

Something like this?

hi

I have notice that when you "save as" a preset & after that load it ,it will get the original preset name and not the name of the file.

any idea how to sort it up?

Or didn't I understand what you were saying?

The preset name is stored in the file, the filename is irrelevant, if that's what you mean.

yse ,I think.

if i save as a preset with a new name after i changed a preset that have a different name.

and then i load it .

it will get the "changed preset" name and not the file name of my new preset.

hope you understand

Thorsten · 14 Jul 2008

Could you upload a schematic that acts like that, so I can have a look at it?

matti · 15 Jul 2008

This is superb! Very neat and well organized. This is SM at it's best 🙂

MichaelBenjamin · 5 Jan 2009

nice preset manager! thank you. i fixed the renaming / load issue, its only a string switch before the preset manager added with a feedback like in the default preset manager. now the correct name shows up when you load a program.

philter5 · 5 Jan 2009

really great work! thx a lot

Mo · 6 Jan 2009

Hi, Thank you Thorsten this is indeed a decent preset manager! Great to see danish people here too. 😀

-Skål!

-yeah and thanks to MichaelBenjamin for the fix!

Zephyr · 13 Jan 2009

Ok I'm a total noob. So here's my question. How do I actually save presets? I mean I kept clicking and clicking and clicking inside of each component, but I can't figure out where the save function is. Maybe it's just too obvious for me and I flew right past it.

infuzion · 13 Jan 2009

Tried clicking on "File v" in the top-right corner maybe?

Zephyr · 14 Jan 2009

Yes I can see that a preset can be saved by doing this, but where and how do I name/rename a preset?

infuzion · 14 Jan 2009

Where it says "001: Techno Honk" on the very top of the module, you click on the "Techno Honk" to activate the edit box. I agree it is not immediately noticeable, you have to have ESP, or alot of SMexperience.

Good thing about these questions is that they're giving me ideas for cool font-icons.

== Bugs: The trigger for the Int Sample & Hold should be connected to the output of the Mult, not the "Pages" Int. How can I change the number of patches in a bank?

Warning: DO NOT use a bank of more than 32 patches/programs, perhaps even as low as 16, unless your synth is very simple. In the monster-synth I'm working on, "Save All Programs" will make a 15.1Megabyte .txt file. Plus, alot of loading & editing & patch-changing laginess went a way when I reduced it down to 16 max patches.

Zephyr · 14 Jan 2009

Hey thanks a lot man, that was very helpful indeed. I didn't check that spot haha! 🙂

CubicDMS · 1 Jun 2009

Thanks for this 🙂

MegaHurtz · 7 Jun 2009

Great stuff man, I`ll send you a copy:D.

robrokken · 20 Sept 2009

I have to say, this thing is killer! Just one question, How do I get it to scroll Vertically? I'd like to show only 1 column and scroll up and down.

~Rob.

autodafe · 24 Sept 2009

thx wonderful

Mo · 26 Oct 2009

Is it possible to make it save the marker position with the preset? As it is now the marker stays at preset one after loading a preset.. I have tried but need help here.. Thanks.

djbrynte · 29 Oct 2009

dude this is awesome! just wondering one thing. When u scroll is it possible to make the scroll other direction from top to down instead of left to right havent checked it yet though because at work. But will later this is nice man exactually what i was looking for :P

Enjoy...

That is a vertically scrolling list.

I will not post the link because it is in the registered users area.

You can find it in the Registered users area. Search for "List Box". You should find everything you need to do the mod inside the osm.

djbrynte · 29 Oct 2009

ok thnx for the help i go there now 😀

Sasu Honka · 29 Oct 2009

You´re welcome. I myself find the GUI part of SM quite tricky. The idea of yellow connectors flow is a bit backwards for me. I have to imagine myself going upwards a stream. (From right to left) 😮

Sasu

djbrynte · 29 Oct 2009

Ye same with me. The coding and gui is some tricky. But the module parts is easy. And its fun getting a nicely done synth. im currently doing a very nice synth.

labelwhore · 18 Nov 2009

this preset manager is the shit! thanks alot!

djbrynte · 22 Jan 2010

very nice dude is it possible to make it go down?

AngularMomentum · 25 Jan 2010

Now with copy paste functions...think it has to be inserted into a project to work properly.

great AM, thx a lot for sharing 😀

infuzion · 26 Jan 2010

Seems neat, but it is a bit broken. In your file, the preset in the smaller one is Program 3, Rez Sweeper. But the column display it has the first program highlighted. I looked inside, & I can see no logic to update the column view to another preset if directed by outside that module. This is important, since one can change patches buy using the host's VST patch selector.

I fixed that....untested though

Seems to be working now. Nice fix 🙂

infuzion · 26 Jan 2010

Before: 1629 primitives+modules, 1934 links After: 1029 primitives+modules, 1238 links, lowered CPU% for Text List redraws changes: * merged of modules to help them make more understandable * replaced SM's buggy font selector (If someone wants to insert their improved font system, feel free 😉 ) * removed the "pageIdx" logic inside the Text List/interaction because it simply was not used * reduced number of "pages" down to 4; SM can not handle big arrays. Might have to reduce down to 2 pages for very large synths. * dramatically reduced Redraw triggers inside the Text List. Perhaps too much; please test in a real VST.

Version number is a wild guess.

edit: I forgot to thank everyone for their works!

philter5 · 27 Jan 2010

@ infuszion:

hey man we have to thank you, too 😀 thx a lot 😍

AngularMomentum · 27 Jan 2010

Excellent!

djbrynte · 27 Jan 2010

thjis is best preset manager ever. love it. Would be best thing if some one made it scroll down. Then big credits to this guy who make it. still get credits for thier fantastic work thnx.

Welcome! I didn't do the heavy work; Ernst, AngularMomentum, & exonerate did all the real work. My skills are just at taking something that is very very good & making it excellent.

infuzion · 3 Feb 2010

I'm assuming this is free to use for commercial work?

AngularMomentum · 3 Feb 2010

I think you have to give Ernst a copy of the plugin if you plan on selling it. For me personally there is nothing required, I just copied my earlier work on the standard preset manager over to this one, took me about 10 minutes. (the original work did take a lot longer though) 😉

King Midus · 30 Jun 2010

I was wondering how can I resize this tho make it just a little bit taller? I attached a pic to show you want I mean. Thanks for your time.

Nu Audio Science · 30 Jun 2010

Hiya King Midus Just a note Posting images that large really make browsing the forum a pain I have fixed it for you this time but if you could crop your images before posting in future that would be very helpful 😉

Cheers NAS

King Midus · 4 Jul 2010

Sorry about that NAS, And I figured it out how to resize it.

Faddicted · 30 Jun 2011

first i want to thank you for this and also for the copy+paste option.. im using with especially for the Controllers that i build for FL.... this is incredibly useful . just one more thing i want to ask is it possible to add "Midi Program Change" option too ? i tried mixing with oddson's preset manager but it didnt work well ..so its very over my knowledge.. any help would be great. regards Yıldırım.
