I'm just on my way checking out the pattr tutorials. Since I've kind of hit "the wall", I want to ask you.. Is there a simple way of saving every setting you made to a patch.. numberboxes, which samples are loaded into which buffers etc.

If you're working in plain old vanilla Max, it's not rocket surgery.

1. Open the Inspector for each and every UI object you want to save as part of a preset, and enter a unique name for the Inspector’s Scripting Name setting (functional names are the smart way to go).

2. Add a pattrstorage object to the patch and gave it a name (e.g., mypattrstorage).

3. Add an autopattr object to the patch (which has the effect of adding all the objects with scripting names to the pattr registry automatically).

4. Add a preset object to the patch, open its Inspector, and enter the name you gave your pattrstorage object to the Value column for the pattrstorage attribute. Once you do this, you can use the preset object to load and store presets for the patch.

Hey Gregory, thank you for the fast response. Once again you made me in a better mood :)

If you don't want to name each and every UI object by hand, you can use [autopattr blabla @autoname 1].

This will automatically give every UI object a unique name.

That's true, but you won't know what the names are. I added the first step because it turns out that, over the years, most people *do.*

simple way to save everything.. please - let something be very simple !! ;)
