Can you setup MAX so that......

I can change one param and have it load up saved presets for several VSTi?

I use several VSTi's at once for my basslines, been trying to sample them
to reduce CPU, but just don't like the sound. So I need some way of
quickly loading a bunch of patches with a single motion.

how do you do one? program change?

if you can figure out how to change presets in one vst, I can make it happen in as many as you'd like.

I just couldnt get the preset select menu to select via midi...

I dont think you can select through a list of presets in Live with a MIDI message...

This is the problem with most music software, they do not implement program change for patch changes, which makes plenty of sense to me...

Its a limitation in Live, theoretically you could do it in Max, but Presets arent implemented for some reason.

I can change factory "presets" via MIDI in Bidule....

However I can't load saved patch files....

I imagine a lookup table with 1 = this patch in this VST A, this patch in
this VST B, 2 = this patch in this VST A, this patch in this VST B, etc
would get me halfway there...... But..... It's all factory presets and not
saved patches.

the table object or the preset object in max will do this. i`m doing something like this with my bcr atm.
