u-he • Re: U-he preset randomizer tool (open-source CLI)

Same here I'm also using it almost exclusively for Diva, as it's my favorite synth and the random generator works rather well with its simpler preset structure.

Diva seems ideal. Repro should work well too, I think it's when things get modular or involve wavetables it's likely to be more hit or miss.

Btw regarding the presets I mentioned that 'weren't loading right.' I haven't checked them all, but at least a few are basically blanks, which is much less of a problem than I was fearing.

That's a good idea: I've now made the favorite file selection a multi-select, that makes more sense to me than just offer to pick one. Yeah, I also wish they would support renaming, but I got my system (based on colors) that I'm now used to.

Multi-selection is much better. Feel free to share your favourites system, mind changes with the weather.

One thing that irks me is how the browser categories work in the synths. For example "Pad" is in the sub-menu of "Pad", but if you select it all other selections in that sub category are removed, where as the rest are additive. In my opinion, parent categories should include all children, and the sub-categories used to refine.

If I'm not mistaken you've made a change and it now works like that so "Keys" = Keys:ALL, whereas before there were only individual sub-categories like "Keys:Keys"?

Instead of one long list of every category what do you think about an approach like this:After choosing a parent category there's a multi-select list. A for ALL would be like "Pad" now, but you could also narrow down to complementary categories like Drones AND Evolving AND Soundscape etc. rather than choosing between ALL pads and Drones OR Evolving OR Soundscape?

Strange, this should work. I've just tested it locally. The folder selection will always include all presets in the chosen folder directly and all presets in all its subfolders.

It might've been a fluke as I didn't repeatedly test it.
