Steve_Karl Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 (edited) Hi there, The Channel Tools plugin - the one in the attached picture, has got me a bit confused about saving and deleting presets in the drop-down preset menu. Apparently it's possible, because I have one from long past in there, but I can't figure out how to Save a preset into the menu and also be able to delete a preset from that menu. Any thought would be appreciated. Possibly the location of those saved presets might be the way? Thanks!

scook Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Channels tools relies on the CbB preset manager in the VST standard header. It is documented here http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Mixing.28.html CbB preset manager stores plug-in presets in the registry. In addition to managing presets through the VST standard header, the Cakewalk plug-in manager has a manage button next to the import and export buttons. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Karl Posted February 19, 2023 Author Share Posted February 19, 2023 (edited) Thanks scook, Does it matter that I'm using the plugin with Sonar Platinum - (pre new piano roll) ? When I click the Save button a new window opens wanting me to save it to my PC. I can't find a way to save into the preset menu.

scook Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 No, the built-in plug-in management has not changed in years. The last major change was adding VST3 support in X3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Karl Posted February 19, 2023 Author Share Posted February 19, 2023 But how about this ... When I click the Save button a new window opens wanting me to save it to my PC. I can't find a way to save into the preset menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scook Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 I can't recall a time clicking "C" in the image below ever opened a Windows save file dialog. The preset save function writes to the registry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Karl Posted February 19, 2023 Author Share Posted February 19, 2023 Yea, that save to PC option is under the VST2 drop down menu. I was using that because clicking the Save Icon doesn't work correctly. An other thing, - when hitting save when a non-factory preset is loaded, it only gives me the option to over write the existing, seemingly no way to rename it. Must be something odd with my install. I did test saving and reloading a file on my PC and that works so I'll just make a folder to hold my prests. Thanks ... let's call he work around the SOLVED.

scook Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 The VST2/3 drop down to the right of "C" reads and writes standard VST2/3 presets and banks from disk. To name or rename a preset works the same in the CbB preset mananger: type the name in "A" click the save button "C" Rename has the extra steps of reloading the old preset and deleting it with button "D."

scook Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 The Cakewalk Plug-in Manager does have a rename button on its preset management UI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
