I would like to know if someone try to choose effect-program (preset) with a message " set "effect-program-name" " to vst~ ?

In vst~ reference page, you can change effect-program either by a set message or sending a float... but didn't manage to do it, in Massive.vst or .au for example.

effect-program-vst

nope, user error. read the reference again. :)

the effect-program-name thing is for loading .fxp files from disk, not for selecting an internal/already loaded preset from inside the plug-in.

it will never work to select a preset by name, because names of presets are not unique...

btw, it is a really nice feature of the vst object that you can specify a preset from disk as arguments. saves you all the work which had to be done otherwise for holding a preset somewhere in the patcher.

It's a bit confusing because we already have "read" message to load .fxp files, why using "set" message then ?

Moreover, the "effect-program-name" that you get when you are using "pgmnames" message is the name of a preset of the loaded plugin and definitely not a name of a .fxp file.

Did you manage to use "set" message somehow ?

Found it ! So, you can effectively set the pgmname of a vst by giving a int or float to the vst~ objet in left inlet. It's working with Sylenth.vst but I can not do it with massive.vst.

So it's working for some plugins but not all...

ah right, it is for setting the name, of course. yes that might be that it does not work for all plug-ins, there are different formats for fxp (and i think for aupreset, too)
