Is there a way to save racks' scenes in which Vst presets are stored ?
Is it possible to recall them via midi ?
thank you

To save a preset right click on rack and choose presets and then "save as preset file",
about to recall presets via MIDI do not think this is possible.

You can set up a MuX that lets you switch between specific rack set ups via MIDI automation (they'll be already loaded when you load the project).
As MIDI can't specify a file path, there's no real way for a MIDI command to specify that a particular file should be loaded.

I need to save combinations of Vst settings ( presets) to recall via midi.
I also need them to be recalled without any dropping in the audio path.
It looks like this is not possible then.
Can you please confirm ?

If they need to be recalled instantly then that implicitly means that they have to be loaded and ready to play, cfr pljones post. Then it will be a matter of selecting the right path using MIDI events. You can do this for event signals using the Event Dispatcher module. In future updates there will be a similar module for audio.
About instantly switching between VST presets: That's not possible in VST world. Maybe some VSTs will do it, but others won't as they will need to much time loading data, allocating memory etc. You will need to have multiple instances of the same sVST to guarantee a seamless realtime sound switch.
Hope this helps.

yes,
all VSTs are loaded and ready to play.
How do you "set up a MuX that lets you switch between specific rack set ups via MIDI automation" ?
About the last sentence "swtiching between VST presets": I know you have to allow them to load their algorithm.
I'm just trying to replicate a working space I'm using on another DAW/Vst player.

There are many ways. I've used a Note Dispatcher to do it in the example patch here - but you could use a MIDI CC based approach if that's what you're after.

In the above "Sax 1", "Sax 2" and "Sax 3" are separate instances of Kontakt (with the sample sample set). Note Dispatcher cycles through activating its three outputs based on the trigger note (G#1). I've added various other modules for fun -- this is a rather silly effect instrument more than anything serious, it gets triggered by my drum pads, usually in addition to something else.

Uh,
That's a very complex thing to go through !
I need to setup more than 40 scenes, each one recalls 10 different vst presets.
That's a real pity

Attached a simple MUX patch that switches between 2 synths. When this patch receives note nr 0 (C-1) it switches to playing synth 1, when it receives note nr 1 (C#-1) it switches to playing synth 2. This ca be easily extended to playing 5, 10,12, ... synths.

Please update to M7.0.32. Then it should work. (there was a file format change in M7.0.31)
You can download M7.0.32 from http://www.mutools.com/mulab-downloads.html
How to upgrade from M7.0.29: http://www.mutools.com/info/docs/mulab/ ... ation.html

Ok,
it works now.
Now, how can I use this concept to map several different Vst algoythms to incoming program changes ?

The Note Dispatcher currently only uses note events to select the target output. So no prog changes yet. But maybe you could use a separate MIDI channel for the control notes, if that would be necessary. Please also digest the above given info yourself and creatively translate it into something that could work for you. Think modular. To avoid confusion, that's meant in a constructive way. If you need additional tech info, let me know.
