I am wanting to know if its possible to recall UI settings from a bpatcher with the preset object set in the main patch. At the moment it doesn't seem to work. If this is not possible can anyone suggest a way that I can do this?

You really should just start using pattr. Barring

that, why not put a preset object in the bpatcher

and send the same number message you use for the 

preset in the upper patch to the preset object in

The main reason I can think of is that all bpatchers will have to have the same preset database if preset is used. Because I still need to make patches that run on OS 9 (!), I tend to use a scheme of my own devising that uses colls, and a simple abstraction of coll, called rcoll (for remote coll). I keep the real colls in the main patcher, and reference them with rcoll in the bpatcher.

thanks for your reply. I guess I need to read up on pattr and the related objects but your idea sounds good. I'd like to see your example yes. To be honest I just want the easist option for now as I have to present my finished synth to the class on Wednesday and I want to have some ace presets to demo it. Its just I can't save any of the effects and LFOs, which I just realised and they are both in separte bpatchers.
