Preset Examples

[Peñen Tegtmeier]

Theclosest analogy or metaphor I can think of is like the preseq EQ settings on your stereo receiver. You pick one of the presets (Classical, Rock, Pop, etc), and then you have the option of tweaking any of the individual bars to your liking.

If you do a brief 'highlighting' animation on the items to right right as they change. Users will be able to quickly and easily see how the presets on the left are manipulating the complex options to the right.

When a new preset is checked: settings that are deselected 'uncheck' and turn red, brief pause, then they fall back to their original location in the list. Red fades out. Settings that are newly checked turn green and appear at the top of the list AFTER red items have left. Green fades out. Unchanged items are unchanged.

You can have the presets menu placed horizontally at the top of the screen. A dropdown is also an option if you see you have a lot of presets, but then comparing presets will become very annoying, as you need to open the dropdown and locate your item every time.

Break your 200 items into categories. With such a large number of items within the same app, I'm sure that some meaningful categorization must be possible. Display them grouped by category, this way this amount of info is much easier to digest. 10 groups of 20 are much easier to handle than 200 items. If all else fails, even a "meaningless" alphabetical grouping is preferable to no grouping.

When you switch from preset to preset, both display the new values of the items and highlight the items that changed so your users can locate the changes easily. I did this with a bold font, but what should be used is background color or maybe something stronger. If you want to go the extra mile, you can also provide this indication on the category title, this way users can quickly identify which categories they should inspect more closely.

Having a workflow silently skip steps for which a condition is false seems attractive at first, but I would have concerns about the robustness of that. Giving workflow presets as a whole a condition field would be less risky.

If workflows are going to allow but skip steps that have false conditions, then I would suggest that CMake exits with a success code if at least the configure preset had a true condition, and exits with a failure code otherwise.

I maintain an app on Open Ondemand for users to start Jupyter Lab on HPC cluster. Recently I get a request from users, they hope that when they start Jupyter Lab they can have some preset notebooks to get started with, instead of writing notebook from scratch.

Note: without knowing a lot more about the specific deployment: doing this every the time, means that a user would lose their ability to save have their specific workspace loaded, potentially, which might be frustrating.

A vstsound file can have just samples, just presets, or both. It can also hold scripts, macro XML info, graphics, and more. It can also hold extra library information such a version number, name, author, copyright info, etc.

I'm at a very long task at converting 800+ small files to mp4, and I'm using Handbrake at the moment. Its fast, but since there are many files, it takes a lot of time. I created a automator workflow for HandbrakeCLI so I can batch convert files in any folder. This works great, but I need it to work with a custom preset I have on the Handbrake GUI. Can I import the preset to CLI somehow? I'm not a Lunix or terminal wiz.

If you're trying to do it on another computer to where you set up the preset you will first need to export it from the GUI (in the presets menu) as a .plist file. Then you can import it (you need to do it every time, it doesn't save it) when you do the encode:

If you want to keep track of every location on every system that you will ever use, sure! On Ubuntu I might have a package from a repository, Flatpak, Snap, eventually Appimage. I'm certain there are different styles to install and use Handbranke on Mac and Windows. Use --preset-import-gui, it's nice and simple.

I find it suspicious that a 3700 token discussion with Davinci003 about AI ethics has mysteriously vanished from my Playground Presets. Has anyone else encountered any saved presets inexplicably vanishing?

Any updates on whether/when there will be added functionality to the Orba 2 app allowing for user-customizable drum presets? I realize there are only 2gb of space available, but would love even just 2-4 customizable preset slots on the desktop app where I could assign all 9 keys. I primarily use my Orba 2 for on-the-go songwriting, and having a drum kit that matches the sound(s) I'm going for would be huge.

I realize that in order for the functionality to fully transfer on iOS, the user would probably need to send the drum sample files with unmodified file names to the associated preset folder on their phone. I've already done this with custom bass presets from OrbaSynth and I don't think it would be a problem for anyone with mid-level technical prowess. I think this feature would exponentially boost the value of the Orba 2 for anyone interested in quick, on-the-go production.

I'm about to write another request/problem I'm having with OrbaSynth, which is otherwise incredibly useful from a production standpoint. Planning on making a youtube review video as well. Thanks for keeping the updates coming, super excited for what's to come!

I'm experimenting with this by editing the .artipreset file(s) to point to custom samples. I'm still learning how this works but it could be quite sophisticated since it also supports velocity thresholds :) This will definitely be possible as long as Artiphon puts the effort into it.

@subskybox that is incredible and exactly what I was hoping could be done! Thank you for sharing the example video, so cool. I also hope Artiphon takes note of this and implements a structured way to do this that integrates with their apps - particularly the desktop app, though I imagine they'd probably do both if/when they did.

I have a super rudimentary understanding of Python, but would totally be interested in looking at what you did if you're interested in sharing. Or even the code with the most important sections commented out/explained a bit.

@ChrisH, There is no need to code, you just need to be a bit handy editing audio files (e.g. Audacity) and modifying some info in the .artipreset file (this is just xml/text). I will share the process once I fine tune it. The video I shared above didn't come out exactly how I expected so I still have some research to do. Once I figure it out, I may add that functionality to my Orba tool

The latest Orba 2 app update includes four new presets from the BPM Create library. All four are excellent. The drum preset uses samples! The other sample based presets wrap the individual samples in a "sampleset" file with an inaccessible internal structure, but the BPM Create samples are exposed in a different directory, so it should be easy to decode the "artipreset" file for the drum preset.

The new BPM samples are in "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Artiphon\Common\SamplePools\ArtiphonExt2\HorrorDrums" and they are referenced in the "HorrorDrums_08eafcfdafd7430890e9d961c5054948.artipreset" preset file, so this should make it easy to figure out where to put our custom drum samples and how to reference them in a preset.

Also you should be able to drag the Common folder from the zip to the Documents/Artiphon folder and Windows should give you the option to merge. This can be done on Mac as well by holding the key when dragging/dropping.

I got in a bit of a tangle with this initially, probably by adding it to the pubic folder instead of the user one. But I ended up changing all the references to "SubSkyKit", made a fresh start with this in the user folder, and it all worked fine. The samples synced automatically. Nice one.

Nice. I've been struggling to get it to push the samples to the device unless I copy them to MSC manually. I think my machines are unreliable for serial file transfer. Also I realized I zipped in a bunch of .DSStore files by accident. They can all be deleted. Editing the factory and readOnly properties in the .artipreset file controls whether you can DELETE the Preset from the UI.

To confirm, you did not have to copy samples into MSC manually and the app synchronized on its own? I've had issues similar to "SubSkyKit". I've come to realize that it seems the app builds a cache of required files in "C:\Users\\Documents\Artiphon\Orba\app.properties" and it helps to remove it from there. I'm trying to figure out the process of distributing custom Presets but it seems my machines are not reliable :(

Maybe you could include a stereo sample file like the one attached; I'm interested in seeing if it can handle those. I also noticed that most of the samples are 48KHz but the test ones were 44KHz; I think this might have caused a pitch shift.

I made the name and used ThomKit as the base. In retrospect, I should have used TaetroKit which is a cleaner template to start from. I haven't tried with Stereo samples yet. From the Orba1 teardown does the Orba have stereo speakers? Or would it only be from the headphone jack? I have some tweaks I need to do and will upload another Preset.

One thing I found out is that you can change the subfolder property and pick and choose. This is great because you can make your own collection of Drum sounds from all the samples on the device. Pick the best of the best to make your own kit. That only requires a new .artipreset file. Start with TaetroKit and then pick your favorite .wav references. Many drum kits have more than 9 sounds. Sometimes 16 or 17 sounds. This suggests that Artiphon will allow you to customize in the future.
