Preset navigator #50

Closed o-bardiuk closed 5 months ago

Hello, let's say I have created a bunch of presets (snares) and now I would like to test them in a beat. For example in Sonic Academy Kick 2 there is a way to navigate through presets with arrows pretty easily and quickly: image

In Geonkick I need to open saved presets one by one or move them into the plugins factory folder. Yet there still no way to go through presets but at least there is a way to switch them quickly.

I think picking up a sound is very crucial for a plugin. That's why XLN XO VST is very popular. Would be great to have something like this in Geonkick too. The way to walk through presets. Especially when the user base will grow. I think the plugin is very promising! I literally like every drum sound I have created and the process is very intuitive.

The same I would like to say about the sample browser. Would be easier to navigate through samples with up/down keys than mouse: image

Yes, I plan to improve the sample browser and the preset browser too. And the switch between the presets.

iurienistor commented 9 months ago

Actually the fie browser should support key up/ down, but I'll check, maybe is not working.

@o-bardiuk What I want to understand what does it mean to navigate... in geonkick presets are split by folders... like group... thus, the current preset should be shown in the box as

MyKicks/kick1

When pressing next it goes

MyKicks/kick2

If I press again next and there is are presets in the group MyKicks... the it will go to

OntherGroup/preset1 ... etc.

Than probably this box along the next/prev for presets, should have controls to change also groups... for navigation?

iurienistor commented 9 months ago

Also there are presets that have groups of presets.
