Saving MIDI CC assignments in user presets?

@dannytaurus If by inactive you mean hidden UI, then Midi is still reaching them

[dannytaurus]

@ustk A DAW will only route incoming live controller messages to the active or record-armed track(s), surely?

So if I have 3 different synths all set to respond to mod wheel > filter, then only the active one will respond when I turn the mod wheel, right?

Regardless of whether the synth UI is visible or hidden. It's based on active tracks, right?

The other 2 'unselected', 'inactive', 'not record-armed' synths won't respond to live controller data

Otherwise there would be chaos! Unless that's what you wanted, and armed ALL tracks for record!

[ustk]

@dannytaurus Oh yes absolutely, active in the sense of "armed track", then 100% yes

[dannytaurus]

@ustk Yes, 'active' is too ambiguous a word to have used in the first place. My bad.

@dannytaurus The honour of badness is mine

So the working solution is

I think there's more to it, at least if you're saving/loading it from a file.

setUpdateCallback is triggered before on init and setPreCallback is only triggered when loading a preset.

So we need it to be that when we make a change to automation we save the the object to a file.
Then at init we load that object from the file using setAutomationDataFromObject
And during preload we pass the object into preset data.
