saveInPreset vs custom prefFile vs what?

[ustk]

@d-healey Thanks Dave! I thought this was it. It holds for DAW session recall but not for preset change strangely, despite it works in Hise. Tried with ProTools and Live

[d.healey]

@ustk Working for me. Have you set a default preset?

Does Live use VST3?

[ustk]

@d-healey In fact the logic is not hard, it should never change the parameters, whether it’s a preset change or DAW session load.
So since in both cases the pre and post CB are called, it should always protect the parameters. But it’s not happening for some reasons…

Have you tried to build and test with a DAW?

Oh you tried already…
Yes I have set a default preset

Yes, and I tried with AU too
I'm building again in case I've made a mistake

Restoring properties with DAW session

Mystery solved. I had a default preset set in project preferences. This completely breaks the save in DAW behaviour. Removing the default preset solves the i...

@d-healey Oh what what what?
Seems not to be an ideal behaviour though...

Starting again and report

[ustk]

@ustk Alright so after removing the initial preset I still have the same behaviour (protected with presets but not with DAW load)

I'll try again tomorrow with a fresh mind... Thanks, Dave!

@ustk I gave it a try but I just want to make sure I understand what you're trying to do. You want the knobValue to remain the same despite userPreset load and/or DAW loading?

[d.healey]

@Chazrox yes

[Chazrox]

@d-healey should the knobValue be static value? ie. ALWAYS = 1? or should it always = last saved state? ie, user changes and saves the value as .5 in one preset, should that load as .5 on all presets and next plugin launch....or go back to 1?

[Chazrox]

@ustk @d-healey What about setting Knob1 "defaultValue" on value changes/saves and write/load with JSON. Would that make it persist?

[d.healey]

@Chazrox it does persist for me with the snippet I provided. It should retain the last value it was set to.

[Chazrox]

@d-healey I tested it in Ableton. Value doesn't survive relaunch. Might just be Ableton.

[ustk]

This preset thing drives me crazy...

it work in a minimal example, but same code in the project won't work despite I checked everything I could...

And another strange thing arose, now I removed the initial preset loading, my bypass button is deactivated when a new instance is inserted in DAW. But it initialises normally in Hise, its default value is obviously 1, and it's not set anywhere in code. The project is well saved before export and build folder cleaned... Turning around and around with this lol

Are you saying my snippet is working for you?

[ustk]

@d-healey nope, I should have said only for preset loading, not DAW

[d.healey]

@ustk well that's the first issue to solve. Which daws have you tried? Did you test reaper?

[ustk]

@d-healey It seems I manage to solve it, using your code plus a safety that "protects" the protected parameters CB, and keeping the initial preset loading.

Not sure why the bypass button were always initialising to 0 without the preset load though...

Explain please

[ustk]

@d-healey I will, I just discovered an error I've made that might be an happy accident... Need to test further...
