Storing presets away from the patcher

controllers

#1

Hello there,

I was wondering if there is a simple way to save presets away from the patcher?
I want to make a simple polyphonic 'analog' synthesizer and save different presets from the same patch, using a button connected to the axoloti.
This seems like a very obvious thing to want, so perhaps there is already a solution for this?

There is not really any simple way of making presets for Axoloti.

The most effective one is probably using a table. If you are using a midi controller, then route the midi cc value to a table write and write the data. And then use a table read for setting the value to its destination.

The you can just save the table data to the sd card. This works even when not connected a computer.
It works wel,l but it does take a little time to understand and setup.

Thank you for your reply!
I'm going to test this out and take a screenshot if it works, so others can use this as well. :slight_smile:

It will work, bu it's just a bit complicated setting it up :slight_smile:


#5

Well, like you said, it's quite complicated, I can't figure out how this would work. :confused:
Could you perhaps share a screenshot or some tips?
Thank you in advance :slight_smile:

Hi,

I'm using the preset_manager object from drj extensively for storing presets while in standalone mode.
It needs an SDcard installed to work,
but it does a great job!
I think it's not compatible with Axoloti 2.0 yet though.

Hey Andrew,

that one seemed to do the trick, thanks!

All thanks to @DrJustice. :slight_smile:

if you ever run into issues with the preset manager (as i did) there is an alternative implementation by @Oscar which uses special preset objects and is more stable IMHO
