Pardon me, Marc is on a roll this morning... ;)
Okay, I have heard a few of you drop mention of how synth plugins would
have SOOO MANY preset files. I just wanna get something straight... Are
you folks talking about those shipped with the plugins, or user-made
presets? If you're talking about the prior (shipped), then I wouldlike to
say that I would hope that plugin-makers would consider using the "factory
preset" facilities of AU rather than distributing tons of file-age. For
one thing, this means that you won't have to *hope* that hosts find your
presets (this hopefully won't be an issue with a standard location) and
construct a menu from them. Instead, all of the prests will be nicely
built-in to the effect. It's very easy to implement this. I've done it
in my AUs in minutes, no problem, and way nicer than making the user
manually load preset files (yuck, I always hate that). And the nice thing
with AU vs. VST is that presets really are presets, i.e. unchangeable (in
VST world, the idea of a "preset" and the user state is all mixed up).
