load .adv presets in multiple devices at once

Hi Forum,

I use multiple instances of the same M4L device in a Live set. It includes a pattrstorage and connected preset object so that I can save and recall preset collections as an .adv file. This all works wonderful.

What I now want to do, is to update all devices with the same .adv file at once.

My current lead is that the dropfile object gets the file path of the .adv file. Is there a way to update the device using this path? That way, I could forward that path to all other devices.

What I did manage is to organise this using .json files, spreading their paths among the pattrstorage objects. However, the disadvantages of this method is that the preset file doesn't get stored within the Live set, and that the .json file is not accessible from the Live browser as it ignores the file type.

Thanks,

Sono
