I've been experimenting with a new workflow for a while, and I've come to find I need an external sampler in order to route everything I want into the same flow. The specific sampler I'm looking at (Shortcircuit) can save everything in the host-reported project path, but that's just the path the module is in, instead of anything specifying which module it belongs to. As putting every single module in its own directory is kind of ridiculous, I'm proposing a slight variant of the MPTM format to make things cleaner.
Zipped MPTM (*.mptz)
Similar to FL Studio's packed projects, this is simply a zip file with the MPTM itself in the root directory and anything VSTs save/load relative to the project path in a data folder; the host would simply report the project path as being a temp folder, then on save or load pack/unpack everything from/to that folder, clearing it out whenever the module is closed or reloaded.
(I'd try implementing this myself, but I haven't worked with C++ directly in years; definitely more a C# person!) |
