I'm making an additive synth with two banks of sine waves. Each bank is its own additive synth so to speak, and the two banks can be layered on top of one another, or split to either half of the keyboard etc. I have a preset manager in each bank and I'd like each bank to be able to load settings saved from the other bank. I haven't been able to get this to work although I can't see why. Is it possible for two preset managers setup in this way to share files/settings?

you should only have one preset manager in a vst, because the host can only 'see' one of them.

I've tried using two before and it just doesn't work correctly.

That makes sense. At any rate I've figured out how to store each parameter into a float array and then save and load this as a text file. Wasn't too difficult and does the job just fine.

    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.
