Re: [Bluemusic-users] Presets and adding widgets

[Steven Y. <ste...@gm...>]

Hi Mark,

I have an idea: how about adding a feature where you can click on a
widget and choose "Set value for all Presets" which would add or
override the value for this widget in all presets.  This would solve
the problem of what to do for dropdowns or lines as you would have
time to add and modify and then set in all presets.

Thoughts?
