I've got a preset object located in my main patch. anything I alter saves fine to the presets. The only problem is that no information in my sub patches will.

actually I'm having one more problem. Once I have these preset object created I want to be able to control those using my midi keyboard.

Say I want key "x" to trigger preset "x". If anyone could enlighten me on that too I would be extremely grateful.

"I've got a preset object located in my main patch. anything I alter saves fine to the presets. The only problem is that no information in my sub patches will."

are there presets in the subpatches as well? presets cannot work directly across patch levels, so a master preset in the top level won't be able to access objects in its subpatches. [pattr] family can.

If you have presets in your subpatches, those should work fine. Do you mean an *abstraction* or bpatcher, not a subpatcher? that is yet a different issue: each instance will have a copy of the original master preset, and when the patch is opened, you can change presets in each instance. BUT, these won't save unless you manually save them as preset files. If you need to change the master preset you have to do it in the actual file.

For MIDI keyboards, [notein] --> [select] --> turn into whichever preset number you want. bing!

hey guys thanks for the replace! yes I'm trying to create a master preset that controls everything on the main screen and subpatches. However I can't get it to work on the subpatches :(.

as seejayjames said: [pattr] would be one solution. If you use subpatches (not abstractions; although you can make it work there as well) you can have secondary preset objects in there. then connect the main preset to those secondary presets so every time you change a preset in the main patch, the secondary presets will follow suite. Something like the below might work (depending on how complicated your setup is [pattr] might be more appropriate though):

1. Add a some extra patcher around the preset object to synchronize save and recall with preset objects in subpatchers. See attached for an idea of how that might look.

2. Use pattr/autopattr and pattrstorage. This scenario is one reason those objects were developed.

thanks alot guys ill check them out and get back to you!

thanks for all your help I seem to have it working. The only problem now is I cant seem to get the midi keys to activate the presets. I've included the code if anybody could have alook and tell me where Im going wrong I would be extremely grateful!!!!!!

Actually I've got it working! Just needed to gspend alittle time.

Notein (number box connected th left) - Select " Key number" - Message box "Preset number" - Preset object.

Thanks for everyones help guys!!!!!!! Feel free to play with my patch its just a little guitar rig to play at home with!
