That knob is a crappy old one and doesn’t have default, even though there’s a property for it! I think it was made just to demonstrate the use of Ruby in a knob.
I’ve tried a lot of knob frameworks and the schematic contains my favourite which I’ve settled on for some years now. I’ve added a comment box to highlight the features.

Hum.. ok !)
(working on bad crappy knob for so long time

Thanks both of you! I'll take a look...
I have around 550+ parameters/knobs so. Not a particularly fun item on my todo list
Thinking of adding two mini-LFOs (sort of) as well. Would bring another 60 paramters. Hey why not. I might have a few percent left of CPU headroom
FS 3.06 can't handle the cpu-load so I'm having to close/open project alot when crasching. Have started to work on pieces of schematics in separate files instead.
For example oscillator modules.
But now that I have an almost finished simple basic synth ready, i'm finding myself having a hard time designing sounds/oscillator schematics to get some decent waveform. Just typical
Too bad I can't use MV's ASMs to any extent, since I need sync. Not for hardsync in that sense, between oscillators, but rather for user sound tweeking.

Regarding Preset Manager.
Are you certain that each Knob, Button. etc has a Unique Name ?
2. to check what the Preset Manger is working with, I often Export a TEXT file from the PM.
This allows to view all the Preset Names and check that they are unique and correct.
Just a suggestion.

I'll probably go that route...
Feels the problem is that I have extended/changed the amount of presets and at some points changed knob defaults in between so i'm stuck with the wrong defaults in the preset-manager prim. If that is even how it works...
I'm going to try and swap my preset manager prim and see what happens.

My approach is to copy the text of a preset into Word. I select all, then sort it alphabetically by paragraph. This puts any float array values at the top so I go down to where the parameter names start and I find it easy to spot identical lines. I highlight these then go to the schematic to change parameter names.
These days I carefully name as I develop, but I still make the occasional mistake.

Gonna give that a try some time...
I just had such a large amount of similar named params after copying modules... so ended up resorting to this command to find duplicates I missed adjusting
Me I always seem to end up regretting my naming conventions despite trying to be careful

Hmmm... or... maybe it did output correctly. Damnit.
I've made sure there are no duplicates, but I'm starting to suspect FS is corrupting other stuff than just Selectors
Or atleast it doesn't recall/read or set values correctly from preset.txt files.
Have tried inside both 3.08 and 3.09, and their .exe exports.
Code: Select all
Small part of preset file (1400+ lines)
...
LFO1Dist Float 0.000000
LFO1F1Res Float 0.000000
LFO1F1EnvAmt Float 0.246875
LFO1F1Level Float 0.000000
LFO1F1Feedback Float 0.000000
LFO1F2Res Float 0.000000
LFO1F2EnvAmt Float 0.496875
LFO1F2Level Float 0.000000
LFO1F2Feedback Float 0.000000
LFO1FilterMix Float 0.000000
LFO1Slide Float 0.000000
LFO1OctShift Float 0.000000
...
Second "LFO1F2EnvAmt" is recalled/read but "LFO1F1EnvAmt" is not.
The annoying part is that i have copied this entire LFO module to a second one... and both "LFO2F1EnvAmt" and "LFO2F2EnvAmt" are recalled/read perfectly well
I'll have to resort to testing different parameters to see if it's a reoccurring issue
Such a simple synth, so many problems
just alot of parameters though.

Yep. Replaced the affected knob. Recalling values from presetfile started working for that knob.
This means that any number of my 1400 knobs/parameters can be corrupted
UPDATE: Found 3 more corrupted knobs/preset-modules... Luckily I don't think there was any more
I suspect "copying a copy" of anything, during the same FS session might be causing this. But If so... I don't understand the irregularity, since more corrupted prims/modules should have been expected if that was the case.
