    Hi all,

    I'm planning to write a small program that will need to read and write Vienna Instruments preset files. Does anyone have any information on the format of VI's .FXP preset files?

    The only information I've found about .FXP files is from the Steinberg VST SDK, which only seems to describe the standard "header" portion of .FXP files. I haven't been able to find anything about VI-specific settings on the Web. For example, I'm interested in how VI matrices and patch assignments are stored.

    Thanks in advance,

    welcome balseraph,
    well, the best and smallest program to read and write preset files would be the ViennaInstrument [;)]
    seriously ... you would need a lot of knowledge about organisation, meta information and parameters of instruments to be somehow successfull ... od course this isn't available on the net for obvious reasons

    and remember: only a CRAY can run an endless loop in just three seconds.

    Ah, I hadn't realized the preset files contained quite so much information. I thought it would be something simple, like a mapping between a matrix cell location to a patch identifier.

    I was hoping to automate some of my own workflow by writing this program. What I'd need is some way to see matrix layouts and patch assignments. Is there a way to interface with VI to do this?

    Thanks,
