Hi all,

in VST3, is there a way to identify if a preset is being loaded? From what I can tell in my tests, the setState function is called for both session and preset loading. It would really be helpful if I could tell the difference between a preset load/save and a session load/save, so that when using presets I could skip a bunch of extra (graphical/audio) data that's not related to any control parameters the user might want to save as a preset. Is this possible?

Thanks,
Howard

I want to know the same for VST 2.4 !

In 2.4, isn't that given by the isPreset parameter of the getChunk/setChunk calls?

No. That distinguishes between preset and bank loading/saving in VST 2.4.
