# tc.preset A [jsui] replacement for the [preset] object in Cycling'74 Max. ## Features - Drag and drop presets to re-organize - Display presets as a grid or a list - Scrollable (requires Max 8.6.2) - 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 - Outputs active preset name and lock state from third and fourth outlet - 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 - Same click + modifier key behavior as the vanilla object to store or delete presets ## 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] inlet ## Limitations - Resize doesn't work in Presentation mode (jsui limitation) - Due to the way [pattrstorage] works, some pattrstorage-specific messages should be sent to the [jsui] instead of the [pattrstorage]. Some to both: - `recall`, `delete`: send to [pattrstorage] only - `recallmulti`, `slotname`: send to [pattrstorage] first (for better timing), then to the [jsui] - `store`: send to [jsui] only - The js program send a lot of message to the [pattrstorage] (patch cord not required), which makes it output a lot of messages required for the [jsui] to stay in sync. Using one of the above messages incorrectly, or sending `getslotlist`, `getslotnamelist`, or any message that will impact the presets, it might cause the [pattrstorage] to get out of sync. In case something like that happens, you can send the `resync` message to the [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 ## License GPL-3.0-or-later Copyright (C) 2024 Théophile Clet - https://tflcl.xyz.
