cant find the preset manager with copy & paste

When I was doing my "Synthmaker Greatest Hits" I came across a preset manager with copy and paste but, as I recall, there were significant problems with it in Flowstone that I couldn't fix, so I didn't upload it.
If I want to duplicate a preset I save it then load it into a spare slot and rename it.

Something I could make use of, but never saw, was a simple method to set all presets to the value of a selected preset. In this way I could create an INIT preset and copy it to all presets ready to program and release.

Here's one i threw together tonight with copy and paste. I've put the schematic together so it's fairly easy to follow, pull apart and change if you find any bugs.

well thats a good idea, here we go
you can find an "init all programs" button in the properties..
important note! you need an set to init trigger inside the preset module of each controller!!!
just have a look inside the preset module of the knobs...

basically it just steps through each preset and set the controllers to the default values..

Many thanks for that Nubeat.

I did exactly that in one of my projects just to zero a group of knobs from a default button and it's a useful technique.

When I make something I initially make a guess at a default value but when doing the presets I often deviate from the controls' defaults (if I actually set them) for a sutable INIT preset. My idea was to carry on with this workflow but once I had a good INIT I could then copy that to all program locations. I guess that would involve an iterative approach based on the number of programs made available in the preset manager.
Essentially I would like to avoid all unchanged programs saying Program (n) and make them all say INIT with the INIT program parameters stored. In this way if a user selects any program to make a clean start they don't initially get garbage settings. I could do this manually but hey...

Of course currently the answer is to load up a pre-saved INIT program before editing a preset which is what I do in practice. Some sort of "copy-to-all" tool, just to use in FS edit, would be nice but not critical.

Many thanks as ever!

Here's a bit of an add on that allows you to store a state and recall it to the preset to initialize parameters.
It dosen't affect the copy and paste and these can be different.

The interface is a bit blocky but is easy enough to rip apart and change with dropdown menus etc.

Hope it's useful for someone.
