Hi !
I was wondering if it would be possible to see the preset name of a VST plugin with PyFLP ?

VST plugins store their preset data by themselves. So only the plugin itself understands it.

However, many VST plugins still use the old FXP format which does store the preset name in a standardised way:

1. You can get the preset data of a VST plugin with either Instrument.plugin.state or Slot.plugn.state both of which are actually VSTPlugin.state.
2. Use this construct definition to parse the state or use my library fxp to parse the plugin preset file.

If it fails to parse you are out of luck and you need to reverse-engineer the plugin preset format. It might be JSON, XML or some propreitary binary format. Some plugins don't even save the preset name inside their project file / preset data.
