Puredata (Pd) abstractions for preset management, based on central [stash/hub] and small [stash] plugin objects
- requires
iemguts
library (available viaDeken
)
- connect [stash] objects to any number of objects to store and restore their values (connections are made via "cross-connecting" - inlet->outlet, outlet->inlet)
- create a central [stash/hub] to control presets (store, restore, record, stop, save, load, ease, fade, etc.)
- an additional [stash/arr <array_name>] object can be used to store and restore array values
- handles all objects that output their state on
bang
input - save / load preset files
- store (and restore) arbitrary amount of preset states
- ease states with a variety of ease functions
- morph between states with float input (0..1 or 1..0 - depending on start value)
- record and play back value changes
- additional helper object [stash/arr] facilitates management of array values
- optional argument to create black or randomly colored plugins (
-black
or-color
based on id) - manually set id via
-id <number>
argument or simply by adding a float argument
see help of [stash] object for example application.
- when creating a [stash] object, it will self-assign its id and then check among other [stash] objects in the patch whether the id is unique. it will repeat this process with random ids in a range of
0..999'999
until it finds a unique id (which in most cases should be instantly) - when storing a preset with [stash/hub], all [stash] objects get a
store
message, output a bang on their outlet and send back the numbers they receive from their inlet to [stash/hub] together with their id - easing and morphing are handled in the [stash] objects based on the messages they receive
