i'm about to convert a patch in a vst plugin and i wonder what to do 

with my preset's system. I made a very complete one (quick store / 

recall, name / rename, delete, export, import and so on) with a nice ui 

and i figure it'll be usefull when pluggo seems to deal with it's own 

- do i have to trash all autopattr objects and replace every parameters 

- do i have to trash pattrstorage and use plugconifg instead ?

- where do the presets go ? I've seen no external files in the pluggo 

- what is the relationship between pluggo presets and cubase ones ?

- how do i rename or delete a pluggo preset stored in plugconfig

- do i have to trash all autopattr objects and replace every parameters 
with pp ?
- do i have to trash pattrstorage and use plugconifg instead ?
- where do the presets go ? I've seen no external files in the pluggo 
folder. Are they embedded ?
- what is the relationship between pluggo presets and cubase ones ?
- how do i do to make them sync ?
- how do i rename or delete a pluggo preset stored in plugconfig

you can use autopattr like normnal, its fully functional 

in pluggo - just cant save anything for next time. ;)

you should only _add pp parameters where you want them,

and leave your current preset system as is ... except

pp presets are stored in plugconfig. (as you know?)

when a VST plug-in is loaded, its presets are opened and

held in the cubase project. as soon as you save a cubase 

project, preset programs (originals or edited ones) are

now part of the project and on next start the built-in

presets of the plug-ins are ignored - they are only loaded 

pluggo does not at all differ from other VSTs here.

by conecting them both to the stuff you want to control, say

a numbox. for autopattr its is probably not as straight 

forward as it would be between [preset] and [pp].

there is a not very well-known message for naming presets

while storing it ("store myfinepreset 5" or something like 

that), but you can also just edit it inside the plugconfig 

script. dont forget the quotes when there are spaces in the

and leave your current preset system as is ... except 
initialisation, which should be removed.

they can run side by side, but there might be things which 
are hard to reproduce with pp.
