Topic: How to check a preset for changes?

I know I should know this. I've got Pianoteq set up as I want it. How do I compare my altered preset with it's original please?

Thank you,

Warmest regards,

Chris

There are at least 2 ways to do this I can think of, but unfortunately neither is a great solution in your situation. 1. My go to, and this might not work for you now, but would potentially help in the future, is to make note of the changes you made somewhere quick and convenient-- I save an incrementally numbered (and branching NYSD 12.345 specpr-a4 vol-many) file name with abbreviations to identify the instruments PT screens, and other things in my setup where changes were made. I find this to be an extremely powerful organizing tool. 2. Of course, the other way is to check through each PT window you might have changed switching back and forth from old to new. I wish you luck.

MOTU M2 using native ASIO driver, Windows 11, weird tweaks needed to make it work, but seems fine now.
I have posted several times about tweaking Pianoteq

(1) Save you altered preset as a .fxp  ( not mandatory , just to save your work )
(2) Click on A/B button
(3) Load original preset

Now you have your altered preset loaded in A, and original in B and you can perform an audio comparison .

If you right click on the A/B button , the list of parameters that have been altered will appear in the pop up window

I just realized the question could be asking this too! Its a good trick for back and forth between 2 presets.
