Hi Will!

So are you saying that yes, they do do pretty much exactly the same
thing but parameters is better tested/more reliable than state? You
also bring up a point I forgot to ask about and that is that both
these menus (paramater and state) have been (re)moved under 0.62 so
which, if any, is the one planned to survive?

I'm ultimately thinking about the distribution of banks of yoshimi
instruments(parts) in JS/LADI sessions and I want a compact, portable
file that stores your current bank of yoshimi parts and their extended
status as must get exported in the jack sessions but not necessarily
with the jack connections although that would be nice. We need to look
at the portability of yoshimi and JACK sessions soon y'see.

Why have a 'Parameters' save/load menu option too.. what is the

Without wishing to be 'difficult' as far as I know 'Parameters' is reliable
and
known bug-free (as far as possible). I would *hate* to see that go until we
have the database version in 0.062.x thoroughly stress tested. Even then I
would
still want the ability to import/export individual patches in a Zyn.
compatible
form.

With the database version and the improved MIDI controls, it is questionable
whether you need to save state at all, as the patches can all be loaded
on-the-fly. I've actually done this loading patches from a running Rosegarden
and changing the patches too in mid file.
