Would you consider saving/loading the data in the JSON as a feature request? I don’t understand why it would be tricky, because naively, I would think every time you load a text file, you have all the data in memory anyway.

Then you could overload Module::dataToJson() to return something like

{"sequences": [

[8.3, -5.2, 4.7, 0.1],

[2.2, 3.4, -1.4, 0.3],

[0.8, 1.1, -1.2, -3.3]

]

}

Also overload Module::dataFromJson() to decode the supplied json and put it into your in-memory data structure the same way you do when you load a text file.

People are still able to load text files any time they want to replace whatever is in memory. Plus, the next time you load a patch, it still has whatever you last loaded.
