Plugin preset selection via M4L

Hey there,

might be depending on the vst plugin in question, but is there a way to programmatically load/change presets within plugins ? would streamline producing quite a lot, especially when programming sequences with external gear such as APC or monome.

cheers, nick

Hi,
some VST or AU plugins support preset change via midi program change, but this is a built in feature.
Some DAW like logic offer a key command or midi command for (any) plugin preset +1/-1
No such thing in Live AFAIK, but I guess it is on the top list of wanted features

It's very simple to make a m4l patch to send program changes to vsti's but live seem to have a bit of a bug about it . . . . see here : http://forum.ableton.com/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=131441
