re. but I meant the track properties.

on the track properties you have access to MIDI instrument definitions, banks and respective programs (aka. patches).

currently, on LV2 spec at least, this bank/program concept is entirely undefined and void--to speak to the truth, is not there yet and probably won't any time soon. so scrap that idea for LV2 plugins for the time being. (on a side-note kind of rant: LV2 might brag it's an extensible standard but it just didn't extend over there yet. well, this is not completely true, as there was--but still is in effect on qtractor at least--a so called lv2_programs extension that provides an equivalent interface, but it fell apart on breaking the "law"of the strict LV2 specification and so, it was even dropped by its original proponent and author. true story:))

however, VST plugins (and DSSI tbh.) are a complete different story: they all have this patch/bank/programs selection interface from within its old, stringent unflexible spec. sorry for too many adjectives, but truth is that a late 90s tech is still making strides over this 2nd decade of the XXI century.

you see, now that qtractor has this .fxp/.fxb files support, you can take hold of the several bank/patches shared out there in the interwebs for your VST plugin pleasure. maybe kvraudio.com is the place to first look after for all your VST goodies, probably you already know that for granted--i know this just because i'm having a plenty of fun with a lot of Obxd .fxb grabs... i'm sure there are some for TALNoizeMak3r as well. ;)

hth.
