Matrix and Conductor

[oli_lab]

Hi !
I can't figure out how to have the settings of the matrix being saved in the conductor !

I had similar trouble with VST and I did a workaround by putting hidden faders of the vst parameters I wanted to have saved with the conductor...

I guess I could do the same with matrix, but is there a more straightforward way ?

hi. you can save matrix parameter by creating preset manager and configure it with recall by conductor.

[oli_lab]

that's right, but it "limits" the number of patterns saved to 16...

is there a way to save the cell value directly into the conductor ?

other than build a subpatch with as much dummy fader than the number of cells of the matrix ?

if you need more presets, check the addon named 128 presets with scroll

not tested but try to connect an array to matrix conductor might store the array, the way you need to put faders sometimes.

matrix--->passifchg---->array----> pass if chg---> matrix

@23fx23 : that doesn't seem to work

[23fx23]

ah ok,mm then indeed best is to use presets manager and link conductor nb to pm number

Ahh, you are right--I believe this is a way to do it. I've used this before for VSTs which do not recall presets at all. It should work equally well for this. One problem: there is a lot of naming and housekeeping associated with doing this. Not nearly as simple as just getting the list of preset names from the VST and using that to fill a comboBox. I rarely write new programs for the VSTs I use that do not support program change (and therefore I have used the preset manager for) because there is a lot of additional work in getting them functioning correctly in my WKP..... and I tend to forget exactly how to do it from one time to the next.

FR: It would be nice to have a preset manager that could hold a user-definable number of presets, so as not to have to keep wiring more together to add capacity.... (reminds me of the battery in my hybrid!)
