Assigning user created presets to buttons? #91

Closed ajaxandy closed 8 years ago

ajaxandy commented 8 years ago

I noticed in Midi2LR you can assign buttons to Preset 1, Preset 2 etc, however where do my presets need to be for Midi2LR to pick them up when I press the button I've assigned to them?

At the moment I have 2 folders, User Presets & Current Presets... however it doesn't seem to pick up any of the presets from either when I press the relevant buttons.

BTW, how presets (from Plugin Extras - Options) are really working? I tried to understand but I can't :-\ WIKI can't help, maybe I'm too stupid.

Help please :-)

Setting up presets is a two-step process.

Step 1: Follow the instructions at https://github.com/rsjaffe/MIDI2LR/wiki/Set-options-dialog. This assigns preset numbers to selected presets.

Step 2: In the app, assign the preset numbers to buttons.

It had to be two steps, as the app doesn't know what presets you have. When you press a button assigned to Preset 1, all the app does is send the code Preset1 to the plugin. The plugin then looks up which preset you've assigned to slot 1, and applies that.
