Sample map not being saved with preset

[arminh]

I've also have problem with presets and nobody can't help us with this ...

[d.healey]

I'll make a video, hold tight

[arminh]

@d-healey thanks ! You’te my only hope!

[d.healey]

Here you go. The video is still processing on YouTube so you might have to wait a while for the high q version to appear.

Thank you so much!

@d-healey

thank you! I wouldn't have thought, that such a hack is necessary for it to work :D

[d.healey]

@chlopzewsi It's not a hack. The preset system is designed to do a specific job which doesn't include handling sample maps.

On a large project, like the woodwind library I show, it would be horrible if the preset system controlled the sample maps. Because every time I add a preset I would have to go into every sampler and change the sample map manually. Doing it programmatically is much more flexible. On a small project with only one sampler it might seem like a lot of extra work but it can be setup in 5 minutes and once you've written the code you don't need to write it again, just copy and paste.

@d-healey Thanks for the video - helped out massively

@d-healey Tried to edit the appearance of the preset (inspired by your sofia woodwinds) but it keeps defaulting back to it's original settings, even after saving and compiling.

{
"ShowSaveButton": true,
"ShowFolderButton": true,
"ShowNotes": true,
"ShowEditButtons": true,
"ShowFavoriteIcon": true,
"NumColumns": 3
}

So when I change the "ShowSaveButton" to False for example, it just defaults back to the value of True.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

Press F5 or Apply after editing.

Cheers @Christoph-Hart! Worked a treat

Final question for me is...

How do we show/hide the preset box with a button as demonstrated in this video around 12:56 ?

I'd imagine it's some sort of Javascript but I'm still a newbie so I'm unsure.

I just like how the section in the top right hand corner of this instrument (sofia woodwinds) displays the current selected preset and can also be used to hide & show the preset browser.

Any thoughts?

The HISE platform and community is first class btw

[d.healey]

@LeeC HISE Script. Use the showControl() function.

@d-healey Worked.. thanks!
