Topic: Fast switching between presets?
Is there a way to quickly switch between the presets/instruments (i.e. .fxp files - not just from the drop-down list)?
Whilst the "Recent files" list can be useful, what I would like to see (perhaps in the stand-alone host?) would be the ability to assign .fxp files to the function keys, i.e. pressing F1 = one preset, F2 = another preset, etc.
The idea would be to switch preset by pressing just a key instead of having to mess around with the mouse and/or menus.
I tried loading multiple instances of Pianoteq 2.3 into the free VSTHost and assigning a specific midi channel to each instance so I could switch "instruments" using the program selector on my midi controller. This worked fine (though took up a bit of memory) until I closed VSTHost. When restarting VSTHost, the plugins were loaded again, but all instances were listening on all channels again instead of sticking to the specific channels I assigned.
Any ideas?
