# tc.preset
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A [jsui] replacement for the [preset] object in Cycling'74 Max, with extra features:
|
||
|
|
- Drag and drop presets to re-organize
|
||
|
|
- Display presets as a grid or a list
|
||
|
|
- Scrollable
|
||
|
|
- Shows active preset even if recalled directly from pattrstorage
|
||
|
|
- Shows previously active preset, with the ability to ignore preset 0 if it being used as an intermediary step
|
||
|
|
- Shows presets being interpolated (using recall or recallmulti)
|
||
|
|
- Shows preset name and lock state
|
||
|
|
- Ability to rewrite json file automatically every time a preset is stored/moved/deleted/renamed/(un)locked
|
||
|
|
- Helps keeping in sync a umenu with the list of stored slotstlet
|
||
|
|
- More look customization
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## How to use
|
||
|
|
- Place `tc.preset.js` in the same directory as your patch, or somewhere in the Max search path
|
||
|
|
- Create a [jsui @filename tc.preset.js]. You can either add `@jsarguments` followed by the name of the pattrstorage you want to communicate with, or set that later by sending a `pattrstorage` (followed by the pattrstorage name) message to the [jsui].
|
||
|
|
- Connect the [pattrstorage] outlet to the [jsui] pattrstorage inlet
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Limitations
|
||
|
|
- Resize doesn't work in Presentation mode (jsui limitation)
|
||
|
|
- Some messages should be sent to the pattrstorage, some other to the jsui:
|
||
|
|
- `recall`: send to pattrstorage
|
||
|
|
- `recallmulti`: send to pattrstorage first, then to the jsui (pattrstorage limitation)
|
||
|
|
- `store`: send to jsui
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Desired features (for someday)
|
||
|
|
- No need for a patch cord (programmatically create a [send]/[receive] pair?)
|
||
|
|
- Ability to lock/unlock and rename directly in the jsui without the need of external objects
|
||
|
|
- Ability to target a [pattrstorage] in a different patcher level
