more than one presetmanager in a project?

[Nubeat7]

hallo, i want to make presets for my stepsequencer inside my plugin, so i need to have one presetmanager for global and one for the stepsequencer and the global one should also save the choosen preset of the stepsequencer..

how should i do this - i remember there was a thread on the sm forum but i couldn`t find it...

Depends on what you use - theoretically you could use one preset manager to handle multiple "savings". It will not work for "preset string" primitive, but for values - yes. Trigger order through individual trigger blocking - can decide whether specific preset should be turned on or off for saving.

From what I remember - multiple preset managers should be fine for exe apps, but not fine for VST plugins (i.e. for hosts that operate on them).

Tried to search on SM forum with phrases like: multiple preset manager ?

i think to save snapshots for the stepseqencer, a comfortable way is to save the array in a stringpreset (1 for each snapshot) thats an easy solution when you dont need much more then 8 or so...

just was wondering that i need to have a text primitive in between the string preset output and the float array connection...

because when you connect a text list to an array connection you can feed the array with it but if it comes out of the stringpreset it don`t - you need the text primitive in between - is this a bug? or why i need the text prim to get readed by an array input?

Yes, I have seen this problem too - it has been around a long time in SM.
