preset change to vst
hi all,
Is there a message that I can send to a plug in in a vst~ to change
the presets of that plug? Or am I going to have to dump all the
parameters out to a bunch of number boxes exposed to pattr?
thanks
David

you can save and recall presets in vst~ - i use it all the time.
VERY useful with NI plug-ins !!!!

You just need to send an integer (see example in the help file).

Oh yeah! like - duh!
But ...
I want to do this with my Ohmboyz delay plugin, which has 8 preset
slots. Clicking on a preset button inside the plugin causes the
controls to smoothly onterpolate from one preset to the next. Sending
an integer to the vst~ inlet doesn't appear to do this. Nor do the
resulting control settings look to be the same as when I change
presets from inside the plug. Perhaps there's a difference between
program and preset? What I want to do is just select the internal
preset numbers.

Ignore my last email - I just checked this with my other Ohmforce
plugs, and it works as expected, although unfortunately without the
interpolation between presets.

I never found a way to intrepolate (or rather to use the interpolate
function) with plugins such as OHM Force and GRM Tools - i even
asked them why and... well, seems you can't
the only way I found is to interpolate in max - dump the state of the
params and "fade" them into the next preset..

What I'm now thinking of doing is dumping out all the parameters to a
bunch of named number boxes in a hidden subpatch with pattrstorage.
The only thing that ' s putting me off with Ohmboyz is that there
are 121 parameters, which is a heck of a lot of naming of number
boxes to do! I was looking to see if there's a way of naming them
using a coll which already has the parameter names in it and some
sort of set message, but it doesn't look like that's possible. So I
guess I'll have to do it manually. Still, once it's done, I'll have
total flexibility with controlling the plugin from Max! And I wanted
to have routable access to this plugin in another instrument I built
as well, so ...

you don't need to write it all - it's max after all
the following patch (dirty as it is, sorry) lets you store 2 "states"
of a plug-in (2 presets if you want) - actually a lot more - it
writes it in a coll, and then you can interpolate between them (0.->
1.)
I just tried it with ohmboyz - it works
lets you store presets and interpolate between them
hope you'll find it useful (needs Lmult object - part of lobjects)

because those 8 presets are _not regular VST plug-in presets.
they might be identical to the first 8 VST presets of the
ohmforce plug-in, but it is an independent mechanism.
hey if you would put some effort into creating your own
preset morpher in MAx, you could use it with _all plug-ins
andnot only with ohmboys and oddity. :)
there are at least 2 examples people somewhere out there
made, when i remember right one was an example for the use
of 3rd party list interpolation objects.
