DeRobbyJ,
Fantastic idea.
And we should be very clear with some basic rules:
These are ones I would propose:
- Volume must be 100%
- Pan must be center
- Any FX plugins settings must use stock/native plugins
- No TripleOscillator submissions, we have enough for now.
- No Zyn submissions, we have enough for now.
This *should* be part of a larger initiative to rename and reorganize our
presets. For example, WillGodfrey collection could be incorporated in
appropriate Zyn folders, and we may benefit from removing some presets that
sound very similar. AFAIK removing presets won't break backwards
compatibility because they're stored in the MMPZ file when a project is
saved.
Furthermore, the searching for presets has bugs, and we should try to be as
consistent as possible about our nomenclature. These fixes could be
milestoned for the next major version and see if we can get the competition
results in before then.
