Description:
Add a portable presets system with two layers: (1) structural templates for buses/instruments/routings (including AUv3 chains and MIDI mappings), and (2) preconfigured widget templates (buttons/faders/knobs) that already target common parameters or global actions. Templates can be saved to a personal library and inserted via drag-and-drop into any project.
Problem:
Across projects, users repeatedly rebuild the same setups: specific bus chains, instrument routings with MIDI color/channel mappings, and widgets that control basics like “Bus B volume,” “Master volume,” or “FX toggle.” Recreating these from scratch is slow, disrupts creative flow, and results in inconsistent control layouts.
Proposed Solution:
  • Structural Templates:
    Save buses/instruments with their AUv3 chains, routings, sends, colors, and MIDI mappings. Option to include/exclude audio/midi clips.
  • Widget Templates:
    Save ready-to-use controls (buttons/faders/knobs/grids) prebound to targets (e.g., bus volumes, effect parameters, global actions).
  • Library & Browser:
    Project + user library with tags, favorites, search, preview, and versioning.
  • Smart Insert:
    Conflict-aware import that remaps colors/channels, resolves name clashes, and prompts to create missing buses or reuse existing ones.
  • Dependencies:
    Detect missing AUv3s and offer placeholders or alternative device mappings; show a summary report post-import.
  • Scope Options:
    Insert as new, or
    Apply Template to Selection
    (update an existing bus/instrument).
  • Share/Export:
    Pack templates (with optional assets) into a sharable file for collaborators; support drag-in to install.
  • Shortcuts & Actions:
    “Save Selection as Template,” “Insert Template,” and “Replace With Template” actions for rapid workflow and controller mapping.
Benefits:
  • Huge time savings for both complex chains and simple, frequently used controls.
  • Consistency of mappings and UI across projects, lowering on-stage errors.
  • Encourages experimentation—drop in a complete chain + control surface in seconds.
  • Easier collaboration and onboarding via shareable, versioned template packs.
Examples:
  • Save a
    Guitar Bus
    (Input 2 → Bus B → AUv3 FX chain) plus a pre-mapped fader; reuse it across multiple projects instantly.
  • Insert a
    Ravenscroft275
    instrument template mapped to a MIDI color with a sustain toggle button already wired.
  • Drop a
    Master Utilities
    widget set (Master fader, Reverb Send, Mute/Panic) onto any page; targets auto-bind to the current project’s buses.
  • Share a
    Live Vocals Chain
    pack (preamp → de-esser → comp → delay send) with a labeled control strip for a touring rig.
