A bit more information about Steinbergs control of user patches.
Yes, the patch is always saved with the .cpr (project) but sometimes there are cases where it would be nice for the user to have control over where the individual patches…separate from the .cpr are saved.
For myself, I like consistency. My Wave, UAD, NI patches are saved in the project folder with identifiable names and can be loaded from the project folder. Okay…yes the .cpr file is of course saved in my project folder, and it also has presets saved inside it. I just don’t like that concept.
