I'm getting near to the final stages of building my new mixer. However, I have run into a problem...all parameters save with the project *except* for the parameters of insert effects!! The insert slot loads the effect but doesn't save any of its parameters, and I'm not sure how to do that. Does anyone know?
Thanks!

Shayne,
You have to register the insert module's 'Path' as a preset parameter, that's all.
cheers,

Hi John,
I dragged "Path" into the Parameter list, both on the parameter list of Effectloader and the parent device, and dragged "Path" into the Preset Parameter list, and the settings still don't restore in the project (I made sure restore and store in project were set in the parameter list). What else do I have to do? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!
Shayne

not sure but i think it is the insert itself that has to be parmetrized in addition to the slot. or it will always load with its default values (+ before it is active you save and reload the dev).... (one or the other solution i think).

Nothing I'm trying is working. What EXACTLY must be parametized in which modules and should I do vars or pads? I wish there were some example modules or something about it in the manual.

Hi Shayne,
Ah, sorry, yes...you must parameterise the EffectLoader module's Path, not the insert slot itself.

I did that, and it didn't work.

OK, I want to go over this STEP BY STEP to see if I'm doing anything wrong. I really want to get this to work so I can release my new mixer with STEREO bus sends.
1. I open up the Parameter dialog box and freeze it on the parent module. I'm using Empty Effect with an insert slot to test, and there are four entries...Keep on Top, Close Panel, etc. There's a tree on the left with the same items. I've also tried using the parameter list for EffectLoader.
2. I open up the Parameter Preset dialog box. I've already created a new preset list for the parent device.
3. I navigate to EffectLoader. I drag the pad "Path" into the Parameter box. All the save options are checked except for the screenset options and "Load Default."
4. I drag the Path parameter into the parameter tree on the left of the box.
5. I drag the Path parameter into the Parameter Preset box, which is showing "NewPreset" or something like that.
6. I save the device.
7. I load up Scope 4.0. The presets do not affect the effects in my device. I tried parametizing the "Load" button for the insert effect, and that worked. But the effect presets are not working.
I also tried dragging "ParameterWrap" into the Parameter box, but that didn't work either.
Please tell me what I'm missing here!! I'm really anxious to show you all what I've been working on!

OK -- I figured it out!! I have to save the device as .dev and not as .mdl. If it's .mdl it won't work, if it's .dev it'll work.
