| Jul 31, 2023 at 21:42 | comment | added | Ate Somebits | To give you an example, I've tried translating an Ableton Live preset into another plug-in format, but it's a "deep" XML hierarchy, and simply takes too much time. That is to say, most presets for decent instruments and or effects, will be unreadable, even if you can access all of the data | |
| Jul 31, 2023 at 21:36 | comment | added | Ate Somebits | Reaper has its own presets. VST format also has its own presets (fxb and fxp). Particular plugi-ins usually have their own preset format on top. MIDI standard has a standardized "instrument" list and a semi-standardized "control" list, and implementation varies. You could bet that almost any plug-in implements a MIDI control 1 modulation as vibrato, 7 as preset volume, 9 as pan (correct me if i''m wrong). Since you're a lucky Reaper user, there is plenty of superficial programming you can do to extract parameters from a single preset - but I myself am still getiing the hang of it. | |

Others will use other systems for their preset “databases”. If you want to do something original with a plug-in I suggest you check out Max MSP, which is a visual IDE for audio plugins. | |
