OSC-Message: Save state (Feature Request)

[ozett]

As i interrupt a running Pixecontroller an an event-triggered base, i wanted to return to the previous state before the interruption. And as the actual running state is somehow unpredictable while pixelcontroller is running with randomly choosen presets, a save-state OSC-Message would be helpful. And of course the load state message.

Surely one could consider, if there a some exections to what elements should belong to a complete/half STATE, or STATE1,STATE2, ... and which may not ? (Visual/Speed...?)

you can save the current state (save preset) and then loading it again. and load preset will load it again...

[ozett]

yes. that was my first thought.
and a good workaround.
but the generator-speed or brightness is not within a preset, or is it?

[neophob]

Well thats not a work around, thats how it's supposed to work. Generator speed and brightness are part of the preset:

109=CURRENT_VISUAL 0;CHANGE_GENERATOR_A 2;CHANGE_GENERATOR_B 8;CHANGE_EFFECT_A 0;CHANGE_EFFECT_B 12;CHANGE_MIXER 1;CURRENT_COLORSET ColorBird;CURRENT_VISUAL 1;CHANGE_GENERATOR_A 5;CHANGE_GENERATOR_B 6;CHANGE_EFFECT_A 0;CHANGE_EFFECT_B 8;CHANGE_MIXER 1;CURRENT_COLORSET ColorBird;CURRENT_VISUAL 2;CHANGE_GENERATOR_A 0;CHANGE_GENERATOR_B 0;CHANGE_EFFECT_A 0;CHANGE_EFFECT_B 0;CHANGE_MIXER 0;CURRENT_COLORSET Wayyou;CURRENT_OUTPUT 0;CHANGE_OUTPUT_FADER 1;CHANGE_OUTPUT_VISUAL 0;CURRENT_OUTPUT 1;CHANGE_OUTPUT_FADER 1;CHANGE_OUTPUT_VISUAL 1;CHANGE_ROTOZOOM 27;CHANGE_THRESHOLD_VALUE 196;TEXTDEF 5;ZOOMOPT 0;BLINKEN torus2.bml;IMAGE icn-smiley.png;TEXTWR PIXELINVADERS;TEXTWR_OPTION 0;COLOR_SCROLL_OPT 4;CHANGE_BRIGHTNESS 100;GENERATOR_SPEED 98;BEAT_WORKMODE 0;CHANGE_SHUFFLER_SELECT 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1;CHANGE_PRESET 109;presetname=Colorsmile;

hi,
as i switched between v2.00 an 2.1, i found preset 70 loving.
But it looked different between both versions. i checked this and found that Preset 70 used effectlayer1 with option zoom --- and this zoom has also options which were not in the preset (70).

i think, that would be desirable... to have options to effekts also the preset/state of pixelcontroller. or not?
