RSVP [Répondez S’il Vous Plaît - (R)afael (S)ubía (V)aldez (P)resets]

State Saving System for Pure Data

RSVP is a state saving system for Pure Data (http://puredata.info/). It was created to offer Pure Data users a way to record presets for the GUI objects inside patches.

RSVP stands for two things Répondez S’il Vous Plaît and my initials Rafael Subía Valdez Presets. The concept of RSVP in an invitation is to confirm assistance to an event, so this translated to the preset system is that that space and time is reserved for a certain value, it is "reserved".

Getting Started

Download the package and set the path in Pure Data. Call the provided objects in your Pure Data file. It is also recomended to always use the package locally for each project. This way you can customize the library for each project; this allows you to change the colors and size of the GUIs.

[GUI-creator <arg>] 

The argument will be the unique ID which the GUIs will be created with. This module will allow you to create the GUIs available by clicking the options. Then create the abstraction to save and recall the presets:

[PresetManager <arg>]

The argument will provide the prefix name for the text file recorded in the same path as the patch. Modify the GUI values and record and recall your values.
