A daw with a good preset browser

[urlwolf]

I need a daw with a good preset browser. Best if it understands *.fxp.

Requirements:
- Can filter *.fxp using a search term (leaves out FLstudio)
- Can use a shortcut to save a preset as fxp (leaves out FLstudio, reaper)
- Has good-sized fonts (mulab is out)
- Has great undo

I'm on windows. I'm tired of not finding some basic functionality that fits my workflow . Bitwig has the best preset browser on earth, but it's all in proprietary format. If I ever want to leave, I'm in for some pain. Otherwise Bitwig would win. And most other daws are simply pathetic at preset management. Pathetic.

For me, familiarity with hundreds of favorite presets is more important than
herding 20,000 wannabees. I am familiar enough with Wusik, U-he, AlgoMusic,
Ugo, Zynaddsubfx, some synthedit oldies, and Synth1, that I don't need
a great host browser to get something started. It takes some time up front
choosing favorites, and an occasional refresher course,
but I find I sometimes like different things, after some time has passed,
that held little interest before.

Searching among 'all the pads', segregated by some intelligent system,
might induce a coma...'all the leads' might might burst a blood vessel,
while visiting a well rounded soundset, might be inspiring, beyond
the most immediate task. Between Reaper, and instrument managed
preset handling, like U-he, Wusik, and Synth1, I've not felt too deprived.

How about a used Kore, and the many many templates
created by kvr member 'amused'?
Cheers

Yes, bitwig is head and shoulders above the competition. But if you use it to browse fxp files you cannot tag, nor favorite, them. You will fill envy of the normal way and will want to use it. Then lock in kicks in and you are screwed.

Why most hosts have no, or retarded, preset managers is beyond me.

Have outlined your requirements and asked any of them to implement them?

No problem here with tagging and favorite the presets It's works good!

You can star fxp presets on bitwig, but not tag them.
And you cannot export/import them as of now. I filled a feature request on bitwig and Tracktion. I use FLstudio, but I know how things work at its forums and talking about feature requests will not take you very far there.

So yes, I've tried to get these features implemented. But I just cannot trust it will happen. For tracktion, it's been years that I requested them.

Reaper would do well with better preset management, but I suspect it's not a very high priority.

S1 doesn't have tags on its (otherwise good) preset browser. It does have them for samples, I think.
