As far as this is true, it is not an issue of ZynAddSubFX specifically, but Linux audio in general. We have an abundance of great software, but no portable standard for sharing presets among DAWs and other plugin hosts. I would guess that there is enough diversity and experience in our community to develop, share, review presets. Informally, we already do that when someone writes to the list asking about appropriate parameter settings. What exactly would a preset include? In Nama, presets are called "effect chains", and consist of a series of one or more LADSPA/LV2/Ecasound plugins with their parameter settings. A limited subset, including LADSPA and LV2, could be portable among Linux audio plugin hosts. This implies a single signal path (e.g. track). Perhaps some processing could involve a more complex topology, signals being split, processed and rejoined. I'd be willing to take a stab at drafting a spec using JSON (which Nama already uses), however before that I'm wondering if a sequence of plugins with their parameters would be sufficiently expressive to describe what commercial presets provide. -- Joel Roth _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
