saving presets in max msp application (for Windows)
Hi, is there a way to save presets in an exported application (only MAX MSP runtime enviroment)? I tried pattrstorage but it didn't work. Thanks Daniel
To embedd presets INTO mxf file, or to store/read the values from a file ?
Preset object can do both, if you enable embed flag.
pattr stuff can ony read/write to file as far as I remember.
Thanks for your reply! I generate an application (.exe and .mfx) for Windows. When starting the exe file, the app runs in the max runtime environment. In the original patch, the user can save presets, Thats not working in the app, the presets are not saved. I tried preset and pattrstorage objects ..
mxf is sealed file, means not editable.
You have to store your presets bank as file to disk,
and read it to recall presets.
Both pattr stuff and preset objects have help files and examples for store, write, read, recall etc
You will probably have issues with path to store and recall files.
I would use absolute path to your app, or then some
dedicated folder, like user's documents for exampe.
Great idea, I'll check that. Thanks!
