Hmm. That is a good point. I was thinking of it like the presets wouldn't have settings for the sliders, there would just be a global default of 80/10/20, and maybe shift-click would restore that global default, but picking a new preset wouldn't change the sliders.
The other possibility would be to make some piece of the user interface to lock any given slider (and maybe any dial as well), but that has the added expense of more complication in the user interface, and I was trying to keep it as simple as possible.
Blah, user interface design is hard. Getting feedback on an open source project is hard.
Valhalla Room lets you lock the mix slider as you change presets. I must, however, admit ignorance as to why one would want to do that. Wouldn't allowing that control to be locked fundamentally change the character of the presets? My thought would be that the presets should be left as they are. That way people can use them to get a taste of what the plugin can do. They will probably be tweaking them anyway. But so far the majority of my own reverb use has been done at 0% dry.
In any case, there must be some reason for that control or it wouldn't be there at all. I wouldn't talk you out of adding a feature that someone like Valhalla DSP thinks is a good idea to include.
