Presets again...

Lindon

So I have a very simple plugin - it just loads a preset and shows me some of the values:

well it doesnt. but hey, here's the snippet

I have a preset called Init.preset in :

C:\Users\Lindon\AppData\Roaming\ChannelRobot\TheModernistXylophone\User Presets\Factory\Xylophone

this is what it looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<Preset Version="1.0.0">
  <Content Processor="Interface">
    <Control type="ScriptButton" id="PresetButton" value="1"/>

    <Control type="ScriptSlider" id="ReleaseVoice1" value="796.87"/>
    <Control type="ScriptSlider" id="ReleaseVoice2" value="745.90002"/>
    <Control type="ScriptSlider" id="ReleaseVoice3" value="765.02002"/>
    <Control type="ScriptSlider" id="ReleaseVoice4" value="829.54999"/>
    <Control type="ScriptLabel" id="AuthNumber1" value="11111"/>
    <Control type="ScriptLabel" id="AuthNumber2" value="22222"/>
    <Control type="ScriptLabel" id="AuthNumber3" value="33333"/>
    <Control type="ScriptLabel" id="AuthNumber4" value="44444"/>
    <Control type="ScriptButton" id="FactoryPresetFlag" value="0"/>
    <Control type="ScriptLabel" id="AuthValues" value="Empty"/>
  </Content>
  <MidiAutomation/>
  <MPEData Enabled="0"/>
</Preset>

I think this should just run - load the preset and show me the contents of AuthNumber1-4, but it actually shows me the text "undefined"

What am I doing wrong?

OK more reading...it seems the call to loadUserPreset is asynchronous, fine... so I need to set a timer and check back that the load has completed, whats the method I should use to check that the load is complete - I looked at getCurrentUserPresetName but that wont work as its the same name...

d.healey

You should be able to get the value in the onControl callback straight after the preset loads.

presetTest.mp3

This file is actually a zip but I had to change the extension so the forum would allow me to upload it. Right click on it and select Save Link As (or whatever similar option your browser offers). Once downloaded, change the extension from mp3 to zip.

This project has a preset browser and a knob. Moving the knob outputs its value to the console. From the preset browser you can select one of the presets which will also trigger the knob's callback after loading.

@d-healey OK well I see a problem right there "preset browser" I dont always want a preset Browser...is this always required?

In fact I think re-reading your explanation this is nearly the opposite behavior to what I want.

I want to specify a preset load it and set a number of widgets to those values... I dont want the browser involved in any way.

Lindon

it tells me its not a valid project folder and wont let me open it

Lindon

OK fixed that and if I remove the preset browser and add the line:

Engine.loadUserPreset("New Directory/New Directory/Preset3");

in the init this seems to work....

d.healey

@Lindon I've always used the preset browser to load presets so that was my go to. Glad it seems to be working :)

Presets again...
