[PD] Creating a drum machine with "save slots"

[Scott R. Looney]

hi filippo - this may be a bit too quick and dirty as we like to say, but i
remember the guy mike moser (maelstorm) of the PD forum. he made a preset
management abstraction called save.me. here's the link to all of his
objects in github:

and here's another one storing into a text file.

hope it helps,

scott
