Tried searching but found nothing though someone must have requested this… A way to fold sets of blocks into one ‘virtual’ block which could be saved like a preset would be great for repeating common collections of elements in a patch and save a lot of time. ---

We do have a few feature requests with different versions of the same idea: > [@Quad Cortex capturing itself](https://unity.neuraldsp.com/t/quad-cortex-capturing-itself/6512): > > Imagine making a preset. Something like a Plexi pushed with a Klon and bit of EQ. Wouldn’t it be nice if it could be auto-captured and turned into a single bloc? > [@Converting model to capture and back](https://unity.neuraldsp.com/t/converting-model-to-capture-and-back/4188): > > It would be convenient to have a command in the block’s context menu that will convert the model to capture The purpose can also serve as several blocks at the same time, this will save resources and allow you to place more effects on one line or will allow use of more resource-demanding HQ-effects Such a capture should also contain in the form of metadata a list of blocks and their parameters, this will allow you to have an inverse function tha… > [@Block "SNAPSHOT" - ability to save a group of blocks together](https://unity.neuraldsp.com/t/block-snapshot-ability-to-save-a-group-of-blocks-together/6598): > > I don’t know if this has specifically been requested, but it would be fantastic to be able to save a group of blocks together into a little “SNAPSHOT” to be easily recalled and placed wherever. For instance, saving settings of an AMP, chained with an EQ you like, COMPRESSOR, and NOISEGATE, all together into one Block, or “SNAPSHOT”. Each with the settings saved in that block. If I like a particular set of blocks together, it would be a time saver to add that bulk SNAPSHOT than to add the block… There are also multiple requests for the ability to save or copy whole rows of blocks.
