When you save a preset, you can pull up an editor and provide a description. But where is that information seen by a user of the preset? Maybe I'm overlooking something obvious, but I added a description to an MTurboReverb preset I'm working on, but I cannot find anywhere that that information is displayed.

I dont think it's displayed anywhere other than in that preset info field. I find it handy as a reminder of functionality or purpose.

Like the [Information] buttons in the MTurboComp Active Presets? (But I cannot see how to create such a button myself.)

I use this field mainly for tags and the search function.

Ah, I was afraid this was a futile quest. My MTurboReverb preset works by far better in a non-standard way, neither as an insert nor as a send w/ dry/wet 100% and level controlled by FX channel fader. I don't know how or where to convey those instructions and I guess most people will try it, decide it sucks (which it doesn't if used properly) and dismiss it as worthless.

Maybe I should create a dummy multiparam with a really bizarre name and put the instructions in the help for that param on the hope that a lot of potential users will think "what the hell is this control for?" and pull up the help text.

Actually with active presets the information should be available in the bottom of each that has it. Check MTurboComp, it has info for each of them.

True, but the other plug-ins don't have that [Information] button. (Buglet? Or not yet Implemented?)

And I cannot see a way of us adding such Info to our own presets that use the Easy mode. (FR)

A possibly related issue: MTurboReverb has a template for 2D soundstage that uses an XY grid for setting the soundstage positioning. That is on a Position tab with no help icon. The sibling Details tab has the help icon, and you can see the field level help for all the Details params by clicking it. But I can't see how the user can get help on the XY control. Am I missing something or maybe I didn't define the tabs correctly? I'm not at my DAW, so I can't bring up the template to see what's going on there.

DarkStar: They don't because nobody wrote any, because well there's not much to wrote. But I'd like to organize some preset making action for the existing plugins for V11, so we'll see then.

dmbaer: There are no helps yet, these are defined as the "#" links in the modulators, but there are no actual help files, yet

Fair enough but I cannot see where preset makers write that description.

I tried by typing in preset descriptions for some new presets (which use the Easy mode) in various plug-ins and for some new Active Presets in MXXX but could not get the [Information] button or the description itself to display in Easy mode. What am I missing?

And, when I save an MTurboComp Active Preset as an ordinary one, the Info does not appear in the Preset Information section.

It needs to be in the "active" file, don't remember the details, but it should be pretty straightforward.
