Hey Brad,
I was pondering this today and made an rough outline of the Settings file main sections and here it is, if there is stuff missing just post it but I think this is the basic idea for that file …
Audio Engine Settings
Audio Input Ports
Audio Output Ports
Bindings Panel Layout
Controller Bar Layouts
Windows Environment Settings
General Cantabile Application Settings
Live Mode View State
MIDI Clock Settings
MIDI Input Ports
MIDI Output Ports
MIDI PG Change Formatting
Main Window Layout & Settings
Master Input Gain Settings
Master Output Gain Settings
Metronome Global Settings
Normal Mode View State
Racks Panel Layout
Recent Set lists
Recent Songs
Recorder Settings
Song Panel layout
Tempo Indicator
Tempo Presets
Time Signature Presets
Update Settings
Vst Plugin Paths and Settings
So, I was thinking, if the folks were wanting Controller Bar Layouts as a separate file then what else in that Settings file would be helpful as a separate file too. After looking at it this way the only thing from my perspective would be the tempo and time signature presets as a separate file. Either that or the ability to have the default trimmed down presets lists with an option to switch on all possible presets and time signatures. (currently you add new ones 1 at a time). The other thought was the panel layouts might be cool as a separate file so you can keep the look the same across multiple machines. Some items are obviously better left to each separate machine. I’m curious as to other people’s thoughts on this one …
Again, thanks for the feature Brad, I already have uses for 4 or 5 different types of Control Bars and have made 3 so far! Oh and I forgot to ask, is it possible to have it save the Control Bar choice with each song file?
