Tiny Orbit

I am using the preset object for a quite a large synth and was wondering if i could exclude objects from being stored and recalled dynamically. By this i mean, when i press a button "isolate" all the selected objects are therefore not recalled and stored but when i turn the button off the save and recall functionality is restored to those specific objects.

Currently it seems that objects are only excluded if the exclude connection from the Preset object is made prior to saving the preset. If an object is connected afterwards, it does not seem to be excluded from the Preset selector (possible bug???).

if you want that kind of functionality I'm pretty sure you'll need to use the pattr system-- it was designed for the flexibility required by that kind of situation... have a look at [pattrstorage] object and the (active) message

ah thanks, i will dig into pattstorage system. I am currently using the Preset object only as the interface for the Pattrstorage object, but i can see that this is only the tip of the iceberg.
