Presets support, more warpings mods and support for their automation

[KastomKnuckles]

1. Add the ability to save and use presets
2. Add more warp modes, for example from the Xfer Serum synthesizer
3. Add the ability to automate warpingknobs. In Bitwig Studio, for example, they are not displayed in the instrument panel

Hello,

Regarding point 3:

Add the ability to automate warpingknobs. In Bitwig Studio, for example, they are not displayed in the instrument panel

In theory, this should already be possible. I am not familiar with Bitwig Studio, but in Renoise, I can automate the following parameters:

• H Warp Type
• H Warp Amount
• V Warp Type
• V Warp Amount

I can automate these parameters in REAPER as well.

These parameters are explicitly marked as "automatable" in the code, so they should be exposed by the plugin host.

Perhaps there is a quirk in Bitwig which causes the warp parameters to be hidden?

Also, which plugin format do you use? (VST3, CLAP...)

I overlooked it. This feature is available in Bitwig

And what about preset support?

[pdesaulniers]

Wolf Shaper does not currently have a built-in 'preset manager', but you might be able to create presets through your plugin host.

For instance, in REAPER, there's a "Save preset" button at the top of the plugin's window, which allows creating 'user presets'. Bitwig Studio probably has a similar feature, but I am not familiar with that host.

But it's planned in the future?

There were some plans for a similar feature. I think it would be nice if the plugin allowed switching between different graph functions during a song. The user could define, say, 8 different graph shapes and alternate between them (and perhaps interpolate between the functions, but that seems a bit difficult to implement :))

I hadn't planned to implement a full 'preset manager' or 'preset browser' for saving / loading presets from disk, since this feature is already implemented in most popular plugin hosts (to my knowledge).

From what I can see, Bitwig seems to have two features which allow this: 'Save preset to library' and 'Save VST-3 preset'. Once you've created the presets, I suppose you can load them through the plugin browser.

Having your own independent presets for the plugin with the browser makes practical sense. Your FX already has a lot of potential for sound design, and performers need the ability to create and distribute ready-made waveforms, without depending on a specific DAW
I have a desire to create a free preset pack for Wolf Shaper
