[RWP] Interesting information.

Hi Gang:

For those who have been following my Pianoteq 5 issues, I received a post from a Pianoteq 5 owner on the Reaper forum.

            I guess my question is, how does one increase the number of presets that can be access via Reaper natively. 


      There is no way to do that as far as I know. However, to my knowledge, there are two methods of reporting presets from the plugin to the host. The first one is reporting only the current state of the plugin (so, one preset only), the second method is reporting all of the presets that the plugin has, which then allows the host to swap between them via MIDI Program Changes etc. For example, the free Synth1 plugin has implemented both of these behaviours so the user can choose which one he wants to use. I have over 9000 presets for Synth1, and they are all properly reported to Reaper, and Reaper shows them in its native dropdown menu all correctly.

      So, this is up to Modartt to fix, I would say.

      By the way, what I see here is that Reaper shows only the currently selected Pianoteq preset, and a list of 31 more preset from various other models (depending on which Pianoteq add-ons you have installed... I have all of them, so it gives me randomly some presets from C3, Pleyel, Erard, Bechstein, CP-80, etc.). I think this is some wonky behaviour Modartt should definitely fix.
