I spoke too soon about it working always in 3151. I did three tests, and the first two concatenated with the same name. The third test showed the line. Here are my settings:
The one thing I did differently between the working ones and the non-working ones was to add a binding to the Record start/stop. I used MIDI controller 116 in the Background Rack.
I’m trying re-installing again.
Nope. It is having trouble getting info from plugins now, where that worked flawlessly before. I hope I didn’t break that functionality!
Other naming functions seem to work ok. The counter has to be the last item on the list, it appears.
I exported my bank of favorites and deleted the broken plugins from their racks and placed them back again, and then the auto-naming with the plugin and patch name worked again.
I have no idea if it had anything to do with my putting a recorder binding in the Background Rack. Still testing.
I can’t think of anything in this area that has changed recently, but I might have a clue as to what’s happening… the selected plugin variable really does require a selected plugin. If you’ve viewing a rack (eg: the background rack) with no plugins it won’t pick up a name.
This is obviously not ideal and I’ll need to think about the best way to fix it - these variables pre-date Cantabile 3’s racks and they’re a bit unpredictable.
In the meantime if you could confirm this is what’s happening for you.
Will do later today, but that certainly sounds logical. I was in the Background rack adding that binding when this happened. So, I suppose I need to be in the rack having the plugin, or create a rack-less version if I’m just using it for creativity and bouncing around between plugins then, correct?
