How is melda preset data created?

[pone]

I wish to put all parameters inside a multiparameter bank. So before I go on a keyboard scripting adventure, is there any way to edit the data directly?

[DarkStar]

Nope. They are encoded into .xml files, as hexadecimal strings (perhaps). You can find them in the AppData\Roaming\MeldaProduction folder (on Windows)

"All" parameters into a Multiparameter Bank? That's an awful lot to have (maybe hundreds); and you can only add them one at a time. Which plug-in are you doing that for?

[MeldaProduction]

As DarkStar says - I can NOT recommend doing that, it will be a CPU killer. Attach only the stuff you need. I mean there are usually MIDI controller ranges, modulator parameters etc., which you hardly will want to control by a single multiparameter .

I know where they are created, but not how the data is generated so that I could modify it or generate my own if possible. And it's not hundreds, I assure you. It's a couple of thousands :p

Even if I just use the ones I need, that is a lot to attach, would be easier if I had all of them in a readable order then remove the ones I don't need.

I'll just script it later then :/

... I posted the location so that you could have a look at a few, to see how the data is encoded / stored.

> 2,000 parameters in a Multiparameter Something will surely break. I cannot imagine any scenario when I would need that many - can you go into any detail?

Good luck.

I'm making a complex drum synth based on interpolated banks to be selected in realtime using automation with the ability to make a change to a parameter in all banks easily if necessary, there are more than 16 banks.
