Guys I don't know if this is the right place to put this or not, if its not then maybe someone can move to a better place...

Anyways after going through preset parameter naming hell! I decided to quickly write a windows app to check for and report duplicate Preset parameter names. Someone here must have already written one of these, but I could not find it... Anyways here it is, it does'nt require anything special, just the run times that are already included in win XP...

It is not that spohisticated, there is a drive box, folder box and file box. Navigate to the folder that contains your preset text files, click on one of them and it displays the duplicate parameter names and gives the line #s. It does correctly identify SM preset files so if click on a file that is not a SM preset text file it will ignore it...

Hope that helps

hey thx for that, i´ve had the same idea some weeks ago but never started to create it 😀 i think this fits better in the examples section because it is really not unrelated to synthmaker 🙂

Thanks - anything that makes de-bugging quicker is always a big bonus!

No problem guys I am going to be writing a Bank manager too that will allow your users to mix and match presets. When I get that done I'll share that too

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.
