arrgghh.....

I wan to use [vst~] but haven't figured out how to load in the fxb effects bank file. There isn't a load bank on the vst gui.

Any ideas?
Thanks

you could maybe try opening an .fxb file with a text editor and seeing if it is gibberish, or if it is full of lists of numbers.

if you've got lists of numbers, it would be possible to use [textfile] or [msgfile] to manually input those presets.

What I found over the weekend.....
The FXB file is an xml file. One of the XML dealies is <Automation = blah blah blah>
This is where the part I need is

For further details, I am using the Amplitube XGear as a VST. The VST will load presets, which are in a type of FXP format that doesn't have the <Automation> branch in it.

I will try the [textfile] and [msgfile] and let you know how it goes

I also saw that the MAXMSP VST~ object is suposed to support .fxb files. Any way I can rip that object from Max and use it in PD???

I wonder if this problem is just a limitation of the VSTobject e.g wasn't programmed with total VST host support?

well.....
[textfile] would read the file but [vst~] didn't do anything.

[msgfile] errored out

MAX/MSP VST~ worked fine

Is there a way to get the MAX VST source? No idea how open MAXMSP is...

Thats exactly what I was looking for, I thought, oh, okay, no problem, you could just try to add fxb, but I couldn't even build Flext....

Oh shit...

It's funny, in Max you just send it a little message and voilà... [vst~] is great work, but somehow a bit pointless without the ability to deal with fxb's. And saving the data manually is a messy and shaky solution
