Blank Effect Template
Posted: Thu May 02, 2019 3:15 pm
OK, so; I've been organizing a blank template for Myself and I wanted to finish but it's like 9/10's done.
Here's the image of the blank template so far:
There were various conventions to take into account:
- X64 soon
- Ableton Live only allows 13 presets
- Presets, there being enough, Categories
- Low CPU Requiring Knobs with nice looks
- Having Presets ordered 1-13
So, ultimately; You can add presets together per band. Let's say for instance You have a preset, it's as easy as saving to a text file and adding commas or using a string split. Arrays are not hard to work with.
I promise I'll work out a way to serialize those arrays and get something working for presets because I'd like a similar system ASAP.
Also, I'm going to have it set so that there is going to be only one drag xy accumulate so as to force redraws to be universal. Each item will also have a right click popup list of options like reset and manually input value.
Preset Manager Categories are working but this way:
And that works ok for the dropdown, but in the fl studio presets it doesn't, So; I'll do a simple string find looking for this instead:
Be sure that these will show up as a preset. I used Ruby to that end; and You can set it to the same parameters as one; Or *argh I might find a way to automatically look for the first preset so that it is a simpler idea.
So, Here's a screenshot of that in action, first the vst's version (click to enlarge):
Now, let's see FL studio's output (click to enlarge):
My code automatically closes the gap and will look for nested accurately too.
MMk, so; credits and settings: I've made a popup that is easy to use and manipulate for You, it looks like this (click to enlarge):
Here's the settings:
Here's the template, Enjoy
So, next on My agenda is to have to left and right preset back and forth buttons for the user. But that requires having an array that stipulates for each what the start and end is so that it resets to the first in the category rather than the next category so as to be extra professional. Ultimately this manager will be an .fxb .fxp exporter and importer as well that provides the user to save presets as well. That's a good thing because there are a lot of synths out there that are not very user friendly.
Be sure naming will have the touchscreen input as well as the knobs.
There's some pretty sophisticated ideas inside, have fun

Category One,<<,Preset 1,Preset 2,>>,Factory Reset
And that works ok for the dropdown, but in the fl studio presets it doesn't, So; I'll do a simple string find looking for this instead:
==Category One ==,Preset 1,Preset 2,Factory Reset
