@Lindon yes that what I have done. The panel is above the preset browser in my project.
That panel is essentially a 2 x 4 grid of 'buttons' (one for each tag) inside that panel and when the 'buttons' are clicked currently it prints a list of all presets that have that tag to the console depending on which button was clicked. This is working correctly so the tags are being picked up and read correctly by hise which is good.

What I'm looking to try and do ultimately is have the preset browser filter to show only the bass presets if I click the bass tags button, only the bells presets if I click the bells tag button and so on.
