Can't find user preset?

[paper_lung]

Hi all,

I'm (more than likely) doing this wrong, can someone advise a newbie? I'm using the following code to load a preset via a button rather than using the preset browser. I have 2 presets in the UserPresets project folder, yet when I compile the script or click the button, I get an error that the preset file doesn't exist.

const var Button1 = Content.getComponent("Button1");


inline function onButton1Control(component, value)
{
	Engine.loadUserPreset("two");
};

Content.getComponent("Button1").setControlCallback(onButton1Control);

Missing file extension perhaps - .preset?

@d-healey I've tried that but Hise crashes, so I thought I was doing it wrong!

@paper_lung Looks like you need to provide the full (relative) file path or a file object

@d-healey Ok thanks - I've tried the following, but it's still saying it doesn't exist.

Engine.loadUserPreset("{PROJECT_FOLDER}UserPresets/two.preset");

@paper_lung What about just /two.preset? I'll test it myself when I'm at the computer.

@d-healey Yeah I've tried that as well, but it still can't be found.

Here's an example project that shows how to do it.

@d-healey Thanks, this is very helpful. Am I correct that this is switching between 2 different presets? If I added more buttons and set them as the same radio group, what would I need to change? This way, only 1 preset/button would be active at a time.

@paper_lung Yes this was just a simple demonstration so button on = preset 1, button off = preset 2.

You can use whatever system you like for the UI, knobs, buttons, panels, menus.
