# tc.preset
|
|
|
|
A [jsui]/[v8ui] replacement for the [preset] object in Cycling'74 Max.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
- Same click + modifier key behavior as the preset object to store and delete presets
|
|
- \+ Additional interactions (control+click to rename, shift+control+click to lock/unlock)
|
|
- Drag and drop presets to re-organize
|
|
- Display presets as a grid or a list
|
|
- Scrollable list layout (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) - now this feature is available the original preset object too
|
|
- Shows preset name and lock state
|
|
- Ability to display a dot if the current preset is edited
|
|
- 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 presets
|
|
- Provides a dictionary with all presets and their metadata (slot number, name, colors, uid)
|
|
- More look customization
|
|
- Dynamically adapts to resize both in Edit and Presentation mode
|
|
- Select mode: simple click selects the slot, double click recalls it (allows for organizing presets without recalling them)
|
|
- Color mode: various ways to colorize preset slots
|
|
- UID: generate unique identifiers for each preset so you can "follow" them when they're moved, renamed or re-saved. Practical in case of advanced preset management
|
|
...and more!

## How to install
|
|
- Go to the Releases page of this repository and download the version you want to use
|
|
- Unzip the downloaded file and place the tc.preset folder in your [Max Packages folder](https://docs.cycling74.com/userguide/packages/#packages-folder).
|
|

|
|
|
|

|

## How to develop tc.preset
|
|
|
|
- Clone this repository in a folder that is not part of your [Max Search path](https://docs.cycling74.com/userguide/search_path/)
|
|
- Do your stuff
|
|
- Run `./build.sh`. The script will:
|
|
- create ./dist/Max 8/tc.preset and ./dist/Max 9/tc.preset
|
|
- copy the package files in these two folders depending on their prefix (starting with `max8.` or `max9.` - that prefix being removed during the copy process). Files with no prefix are copied in both folders
|
|
- once the copy is done the script will ask if you want to copy these two folders into the default working directory (~/Documents/Max <8|9>/Packages). Press 'y' to confirm or 'n' to cancel.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, instead of relying on this script you can manually remove the files with the prefix you don't want, and remove the prefix from the files you want to work on.
