Is it possible to set up dx filter to load default preset at startup?
Also, no API documentation found to set up filter programmatically, no TLBs or header files, ... nothing.
Excellent product but not a coder friendly.

Hi,

in which environment are you working? When instantiated, the plugin should be initialized with default settings.

As far as APIs are concerned, the filter responds to the DXi COM interfaces as published by Cakewalk (which are basically DirectShow filter APIs + MIDI and Factory Presets additional interfaces).

You can find the specification as well as sample code for hosting such a plugin here:
http://www.cakewalk.com/devxchange/dxi/default.asp

Hope this helps.

I'm building filter graph from delphi application with standard DS interfaces (DX9 SDK). Filter is initialized with default settings but I can't change those default settings. Auto gain option is always on and other options are off. There is no option for default preset at startup.

Your information was very helpful but I would like to avoid programmatically loading presets for filter if possible. I'll look into DXi SDK with more detail

Thanks again

We plan to add a feature to select the default setting in the future but it's not ready yet.

One simple way to do it programatically without having to set every single parameter is to use either the IStaticFilterPreset interface to select one of the factory presets or save your own preset using the stream serialization interface to restore it every time you create the filter (it's just a few lines of code)
