Plugnscript: How to set param values with $script_input_string0$ and $script_output_string0$

[frinet]

I am using code below to create UI for FM synth operator matrix for 10x14 parameters and this works fine when I modify from UI and output all sound settings with a single $script_input_string0$ text string to a DSP side where it is parsed to a sound object.

This sound settings string also got saved to preset settings xml files but problem is how to save all these params / param_text_control states as they reset to default values when I save settings to preset file?

I was hoping that persistent="true" would save all param/input values to preset xml file but it does not work for me? Do I have to use custom_params here or could I somehow parse and set default values from saved $script_input_string0$ value to all these params & input widgets?

Thanks!

Hi,

Sorry for the delay! presistent="true" should indeed work. Are you using a .kuiml file ("sub-skin") or is it a fully custom skin for the entire plug-in?
