      In Ctrlr there is a menu called Programs and under it one finds Snapshots.
      What are those, what is the purpose, any example of usage?
      Thx!

        “Program Snapshot” saves a snapshot of all current modulator values. It is a simple way of storing patches and send them to the synth. In the newer Ctrlr releases the menu is broken so it is not possible to send the snapshot to the synth. But you can view the snapshots in the menu “Midi Library”. Not all synths will appreciate being hit by a ton of parameter values, so it is not the best way of storing and sending patches anyway.

          Thx for the explanations!
          I was just curious about what it was. I’m using Lua and Midi messages for sending patches. So I’ll probably not be using snapshots…

            Adjust the midi message timing to avoid overloads in your machine. It will take some more time but the transmission will be safer.
            How do you do with Lua to send midi presets? Is there any prefab to use as an example?

              Sorry, I forgot to tell that with the midi library you can build entire banks, just create a bank and copy the snapshots to it.
              You have to do it by keyboard or by copy+paste, drag n drop doesn’t works here.
