If it was me I would clearly define the three samples/layers on the UI and add a drop down menu to select a sample map for each one.

I would use the stock preset system to store the state of the controls (including the sample map combo boxes).

The stock preset browser does have a tag system already. The UI side of it is a bit clunky from what I understand (I haven't used it). Although I'm working on a project now where tags would be useful so I might investigate it. I also think it would be good if the search box also made use of the tags.

@d-healey Yup, i see what you're going at, the only problem may be that the dropdown could get pretty bogged up with many entries so Im planning on making a popup box which shows all the sample maps as there respective layers. im going to try and rethink and see if what im planning on would work, thanks for the info!

Here be dragons... I found the tag system in the preset browser very prone to crashing the plugin - so I built my own, but it then requires you to store tag meta data somewhere...

@Casmat You might want to checkout Mndala (https://www.mntra.io/) It uses 6 samplers/layers for which we built a separate sample map browser. It still uses the stock preset browser for presets.

@Lindon and you are using the stock preset browser, which supports the use of your tag solution?

@d-healey woah! You’re telling me this was created with hise? Gosh is HISE a cheat code. I still remember thinking of exploring the land of creating audio software from my clunky C++ knowledge using Juce by itself, not only does hise make it easier, it’s far efficient and faster to work with!

nope I use tags these days for sounds but I have returned to the stock.preset browser...

Yes, it took a long time to build and we're still working on it.

@d-healey keep it up! Already turning out amazing! Will definitely take a look at it

@Casmat Actually I did the bulk of the work for the initial release but its in the capable hands of another developer now. I just help out now and again.
