hi, in my experience the crash you will get always when loading a preset of a different module (i.e. CsoundModule), so you can’t do that. In CsoundModulePoly there are no presets yet, you may be able to port some by loading a preset into CsoundModule and then copy paste the text. But then you have to adapt the inputs and outputs like in the default preset of CsoundModulePoly .
Hi,
My apologies! I thought the presets referred to.csd files… lol
thanks again for this module!
I’ve been using its examples to create new presets. Also from here:
https://csound.com/docs/manual/index.html
Lots of cool things from Ian McCurdy:

Vcv crashes? If so, report it.
ha, because of your answer i have tested again: take a module X, right click Preset → Open and choose a preset of a module Y. => crash. if you can confirm this, then may be you can report it?
Yes this closes rack to desktop
could you please make an issue in github with your suggestions and ideas. i think in the current layout there could be space for additional knobs or inputs.

i personally have given this issue very low priority as i always accepted the preset structure of rack where it never occurs to load a preset from another module. and no one else seemed to discover this issue either. so should we really make an elephant out of it?

Yes and No, I think it would be reasonable for Rack to just give a POP-UP with “This preset is not for this module” instead of CTD.
yes sure this is nice to have!

Say you downloaded a preset from the web and put it in the wrong folder, than it would be nice to have the above message.

No software should ever crash. Period. No matter what the user does.

may be, but i think its always a matter of priority.
@Yeager, would you mind posting the log.txt after the crash you found? I would be curious to see it. I suspect the crash is caused not by VCV Rack itself, but the particular module that’s trying to parse an unexpected JSON format. If so, the individual plugin developer needs to know about it, not VCV Rack developers.
Well… what if the user bombards the CPU with high energy neutrons and gamma rays? (Runs and hides…) Just kidding… totally agree with your sentiment.

You can try this yourself CTD guaranteed, open a new project rightclick the mixer try to load a preset from the VCO in to the mixer…CTD.

may be it makes sense to put this into another topic as it seems to be a general issue not related to dbRackCsound.
