bias

I have a question that is quite hard to explain clearly, so i attached a max project with a main, top-level, patch and two bpatchers, which is a very simplification of the case i'm going to develop in my project of building an additive synthetizer as a standalone application.

In this synth i'm goin' to have a bunch of modules (I think they will be 8), each of one has its set of parameters (number and amplitude of harmonics, limits and trend of boundary frequencies, amplitude envelope, eccetera...) controlled by both numerical and gui objects.

My idea is to store each "sonic event" in a pattrstorage slot, using the preset object to control it.

The master patch contains all the module bpatcher, the mixer bpatcher, the spatialization bpatcher, and the "score", that in my idea is going to be a temporized qlist, which will contain all the istructions to recall the single presets of the single pattrstorage INDEPENDENTLY (although I'm going to set up a system for using it via midi).

In the example I posted (open the "test_forum_example.maxpat" patch) you can see a very schematized version of this situation: 2 bpatchers contains a cycle~ with an envelope generator, and each patch contains its pattrstorage system.

The pattrstorage in the top level patch controls some master paramenters (in this case each bpacher's level).

This situation is good for me: it allows me to recall the parameters of the next "sonic event" while the other module(s) is/are playing.

It comes with some issues too: what I want is a pratical system to load all the set of preset in which the song consist at once, otherwise i'd have to store/recall the single .json files for each module and for the master, wich would be unpratical for composition and for fruition.

Maybe there is a simpler method using a single pattrstorage, or?

Is there another way to store a bunch of parameters for each module while the others are playing, but maintaining the immediacy of the preset/pattrstorage in terms of storing gui objects values?

Thank you for the ideas, and sorry for my italian english!
