like the MSP preset object?

I tend to maintain an array of values sourced from GUI objects.  so, each time a slider is tweaked the corresponding value in the array is updated.
then you can use Object's writeArchive and readArchive to read/write to disk.

e.g

synthArg = [1,3,5,7,9,11];
|v| synthArg.put(0,v.value)})
synthArg.writeArchive(filePath);
Object.readArchive(filePath);

perhaps you can think of other ways to use these archiving facilities?
