M4L device to manage presets for unrelated devices?

Post by Exie » Fri Mar 28, 2025 12:49 pm

I'm looking for M4L device to save and load presets for unrelated devices in a set by affecting only specified device parameters, and the presets could be triggered with keys or midi controls.

For instance, preset 1 stores device A "on" state on track 1, rack B macro 1 "0" state on master, preset 2 stores device A "off" on track 1, rack B macro 1 "127" on master, rack C "off" on master. Notice that different presets affect the same devices. This could be mapped with key/midi map if it allowed to share same params between multiple maps and device on/off weren't always be a switch, but this is not an option.

The only similar device I'm aware of is Variations from Iftah performance pack. But it works in broad strokes and doesn't provide a dialog to include and edit specific params.

Any suggestions?

Anyone? I will likely have to do this from scratch, but I'm sure somebody already created it before

Well, what you're asking for is according to me, a wonderful concept, and I've been working on different iterations around this idea, for years....
