Hi, Boroffe, Cobalt relies on your vst host app, or DAW software,
to load and save .fxp presets, or .fxb soundbanks.

For example, Reaper DAW has a little + widget to the
right of the presets name in each plugin's panel,
pressing it will show options to import or export
.fxp or .fxb among other options. Other daws/hosts will have similar
ways to do this.

So you would make a sound you want to keep,
click the + widget, and in the popup menu, choose

Export VST patch/bank file (.fxp/.fxb)...

To load other sounds or banks, use the Import option.

Import VST patch/bank file (.fxp/.fxb)...

A file browser opens, in each case.
Hope this helps!

FL Studio and MiniHost Modular.
But where do I put the banks? In some subfolder of Cobalt itself or somewhere in the daw?

Post

Hm, thats a real pity. I thought there would be an easy option to put the banks into a specified dir
where Cobalt detects them. Al little preset browser would be nice like other vst's have it.

Thanks for your help!

Reaper opens a file-browser panel, as mentioned above,
so you can put the sounds anywhere you like.
FLS probably is not much different, as many synths
rely on DAW/host apps for preset management.
Reaper demo is free for 60 days. I have the extra sounds
and soundbanks in the Cobalt folder, but if I were
doing a busy project with several plugins that lack
preset management, I could put them all where
they were easiest to find, and in a folder named to be
at the top of any file-browser's list.
Cheers

Skins have been updated:
- Knobs format (from 52x52 to 36x36) (fix slight parts of elements that can be masked).
- knobs have been reworked for a better look, and their position slightly changed (1 or 2 pixels).

After I got helped with my problem, I thought about creating another skin for Cobalt - the way I like gui's.

Also wanted to change the positioning later but first I'll finish the psd - and I only got 80% from the first OSC for now.
How you like that (the white-ish border will become the vst outside border later)?

I like this color scheme very much :tu:

Just maybe the waveform names, etc. could use a slightly brighter colour (white, orange, yellow, light green, something like that).

Ye, it's just a first design idea. Will continue later but it takes me some time as I do it from scratch.
Changed the screenshot in the first post so you can see. Now I'll create the wheel frame image.
That will take alot of time as I don't know how to automate that. So 90 layers have to get created.

Hello,
Here is a new skin.
I may have been inspired by racks, but not that much :wink:
