Hi all,
I have a large patch with many layers of depth that's basically an imitation of old user-configurable synthesizers. Included is the ability to save presets, which is accomplished by writing values from all "send" objects to a text file, which can be read later (e.g. filter adsr, vibrato/tremolo frequency and depth, ring mod, etc.)
The challenge I'm encountering is simply that it's cumbersome to add each new "variable" to the logic that writes and reads these presets, and as the number of variables increases, so too does the difficulty associated with debugging the preset function.
Is there a way to get a list (in common sense of the word, not necessarily the pd object sense) of all send symbols used in a patch and all of its subpatches? To get such a list in the context of the patch itself would be most useful, but even a trick outside of pd that would grab all of the names from the patch's source code would help.
Thanks in advance!
