Arpeggiator Presets

[DanH]

@d-healey Thanks, very helpful :)

I can get my knob values saved into objects and restored all ok. Just the sliderpacks that confuse the bollox out of me.

[d.healey]

@DanH Make a simple example that takes the value of each of the sliderpacks sliders and puts them in an array. Or a simpler solution might be to use a slider pack data object.

[DanH]

@d-healey I can get the values into an array. I then need to get them into an object and then back into the sliderpacks....

[d.healey]

I can get the values into an array.

Can you get them out of the array and back into the sliderpack (ignoring the object part at the moment)?

[DanH]

@d-healey yup

[d.healey]

@DanH Can you access an array that is inside an object?

[DanH]

@d-healey yup

[d.healey]

@DanH So which part are you missing?

[DanH]

@d-healey how to fit it into the system I'm using to save the arp presets. Let me have another go

[d.healey]

@DanH Make a simple snippet that saves one slider pack into an array and writes it to a json file and reloads it. That will give us something to work with.

[DanH]

@d-healey Well I think my issue is in the setControlValues callback below. I have all the data correctly stored in the json file now, it's just loading it back into the SliderPacks that's the issue. The knobs all work fine

inline function getControlValues3() {
        return {
            "ARPNOTESNUMDATA" : ARPNOTESNUM.getValue(),
            "ARPSPEEDDATA" : ARPSPEED.getValue(),
            "ARPSHUFFLEDATA" : ARPSHUFFLE.getValue(),
            "ARPSHUFFLE1DATA" : ARPSHUFFLE1.getValue(),
            "ComboBox1DATA" : ComboBox1.getValue(),
            "SliderPack4ARPDATA" : SliderPack4SAVEData,
            "SliderPack5ARPDATA" : SliderPack5SAVEData
        };
    }
    
    inline function setControlValues3(data)
    {
        ARPNOTESNUM.setValue(data.ARPNOTESNUMDATA);
        ARPNOTESNUM.changed();
        ARPSPEED.setValue(data.ARPSPEEDDATA);
        ARPSPEED.changed();
        ARPSHUFFLE.setValue(data.ARPSHUFFLEDATA);
        ARPSHUFFLE.changed();
        ARPSHUFFLE1.setValue(data.ARPSHUFFLE1DATA);
        ARPSHUFFLE1.changed();
        ComboBox1.setValue(data.ComboBox1DATA);
        ComboBox1.changed();
        for (i = 0; i < data.SliderPack4ARPDATA.length; i++)
        {
            SliderPack4[i].setSliderAtIndex(i, data.SliderPack4ARPDATA[i]);
            SliderPack5[i].setSliderAtIndex(i, data.SliderPack5ARPDATA[i]);
        }
     
    }

I can make a snippet but it's gonna take me a sec.

@DanH @d-healey Can we have arp Loading and Saving Sliderpack Presets as Snippet? I would love to learn from the project.

[d.healey]

@DanH said in Arpeggiator Presets:

Yeah make a simple snippet, one slider pack, one object, one array, etc.

I'm going to have dinner now so I'll take a look when I get back.

I think a much simple solution might be to use a sliderpackdata object (although I've never tested writing it to a file I think it should work).

[DanH]

@d-healey @DabDab Ok got it working thanks to @Casey-Kolb (it was a silly error!).

Here's a snippet for those interested, it's a bit messy but you can see how the sliderpack is saved and reloaded (as well as knobs). I figure you can use this as a base for your own user preset system (@ulrik also made a good one too)

[MikeB]

@DanH This only works on PC - or

It does not work on my Mac

[DanH]

@MikeB well it was created on a Mac so… ‍️

[Casey Kolb]

@MikeB This is often an issue with the permission settings of a folder. Very occasionally Macs can have weird permissions on the Application Support folders, so you need to update your folder to be Read / Write in order for this to work properly.

[DabDab]

@DanH Thank You Dear :) Snippets are the best Learning material for Me :)

[MikeB]

@DanH Ok - Then can you tell me where the AppData folder is?

Where are the presets stored?

[DanH]

@MikeB The AppData folder is the folder your plugin uses for essential data (presets, license key, link to samples etc). It should be in ~Library/Application Support/Your Plugin Manufacturer Name/Plugin Name/

Within that folder (via the script) you can create whatever folders you like. For simplicity I have scripted it to be Data/Arp and the files will be .arp files.

One quirk is that when using HISE it seems to need the actual plugin AppData (~Library/etc) folder there in order to read and write the presets. It doesn't use the HISE project folder as it does for the other AppData files. Am I doing it wrong anyone?
