But I've seen people mention how Pd lacks a nice preset system. Not that I know what a fancy one actually needs since I never felt the demand. So I'm here to ask what people use in Pd Vanilla, be it a pure vanilla solution or an external. And also to ask what people miss.</span></font></font><div><font face="arial, sans-serif"><font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255);" color="#000000"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><br></span></font></font></div><div><font face="arial, sans-serif"><font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255);" color="#000000"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;">This is what I came up with as a pure vanilla abstraction, it's based on [text] and [savestate].

In short, the preset abstraction takes messages and stores them. You can have many of these on your patch and use them to recall presets for any parameters. It takes any kind of messages. I'm making use of built-in sends and receives in the number boxes to make the patch cleaner. Just think<font color="#000000"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;"> that you can have separate control of each parameter having its own preset or group all of them together globally, or a group here and another </span></font>there<font color="#000000"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;">, whatever... Once you save the patch, the presets you saved get stored in the patch.</span></font></font><br></div></div><div><font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255);" face="arial, sans-serif"><font color="#000000"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><br></span></font></font></div><div><font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255);" face="arial, sans-serif"><font color="#000000"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;">As for my current idea for my ELSE library, I'm using an object similar to grab to take messages from [receive] objects. It's a development over this original vanilla abstraction. My first draft is this, I hope that sharing the screenshot give you a nice idea. </span></font></font></div><div><font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255);" face="arial, sans-serif"><font color="#000000"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><br></span></font></font></div><img src="cid:YKQjUclUNOT6ptFlMYcx" alt="Screen Shot 2021-01-21 at 04.47.42.png" style="margin-right: 0px; width: 403px; max-width: 555px;"><div>You can check what's up in my repository for more details... <a href="https://github.com/porres/pd-else/blob/master/Classes/Abstractions/preset.pd" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://github.com/porres/pd-else/blob/master/Classes/Abstractions/preset.pd</a></div><div><br></div><div>cheers</div><div><br><div><font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255);" face="arial, sans-serif"><font color="#000000"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><br></span></font></font></div><div><font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255);" face="arial, sans-serif"><font color="#000000"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><br></span></font></font></div></div></div>
