Reading (and then using only part of..) a preset file

[Lindon]

I'd really like to be able to read a preset file (i.e. myFavourite.preset) - its XML I know - and then be able to use only part of it - so in my case I have a 4 voice instrument - and I'd like the user to be able to set up (say) voice 1 and 3 to load a preset and voices 2 and 4 to stay unchanged... I took a look through the forum -cant see any way to do this now so is this a feature request?

You'd need to keep a kind of internal preset with the current state of the controls and then after the preset has been loaded you can restore the controls you don't want changed.

Yeah that'd work .... thanks.
