This could be duck soup if CA would give us the format of the .voltagepreset files.

Taking a quick glance, they seem to be so close to XML, and would have been easily editable and generatable.

CA, how did you get so close, but miss this ball?

Voting for changing format of .voltagepreset files to be as ASCII text as possible. Limit the binary to things that must be binary like .WAV data, and store in CDATA blocks that can be placed at the end, or better yet, in a second file of CDATA blocks.

This is an awesome solution! Upvote!

Yeah doing mutations in the variations is a good idea to add more variety with less efforts and make new ideas. But you have to choose which parameters mutate or randomize and 1%-100% or of course you'll make it unmusical.

Like I said, I think you need a menu, no matter what.
