Storing extra properties within ModulatorSamplerSound

[eggnog]

Hi there! Quick question.

What would be the best approach to store extra properties (using a child ValueTree) within ModulatorSamplerSound? I tried using the data ValueTree (via ModulatorSamplerSound::getData()) and appending a new child ValueTree to store my own properties, but upon reloading it's getting interpreted has multi-mic data.

The alternative would be to store my properties outside but I thought I'd ask first, as there might be a way to do this already.

Thank you in advance!

yes if a sample value tree has a child it means it's multimic. You could add properties using ValueTree::setProperty() but if you have complex data you might have to serialize (or Base64 encode) it.

@Christoph-Hart Hi! Thanks for the quick reply. Yeah, that's what I came down to, I'll base64 encode my properties to avoid adding a child ValueTree. That'll work even though it's not really optimal.
