This may be “Operator Error”, as I am just getting up to speed. It seems I have no problem with “Rack States” being memorized with certain VST’s, unusable in others and partially working in some VST’s
At the top of a VST GUI is the Preset Window. I can’t quite figure out is this a C3 file, is it a file that is part of the VST?
As examples:
VST’s that remember rack states
Pianoteq seems to work. At the top of the GUI I have a bunch of presets. Don’t know where these presets came from. It seems like a very random collection of the different Pianoteq instruments. But I can change them. But when I search my hard drive for *.fxb files I don’t see any that belong to Pianoteq.
VB3 - works as well, but at the top of the GUI I see the default presets that are part of VB3
VST’s that don’t remember rack states
Omnisphere at the top of the Omnisphere GUI it shows Presets 1, etc. I can rename them. And the Presets remember the different Omnisphere states. Preset 1 is set to a Multi. Preset 2 is set to a Program. When I alternate between the two at the top of the VST GUI everything works. But in C3, when I remember these two different states. I can go from Preset 2 (an Omni Program) to Preset 1 (an Omni Multi) with no problem. But can’t go back from 1 to 2. It stays stuck on State 1
FM8 - This VST just shows that the Presets are at the top of the VST GUI. And using different Rack States doesn’t seem to memorize the different patches
As a general Rule, I am trying to Name the Preset the same as the Rack State, as this makes for less confusion.
Questions…I wish I could ask some specific questions. But I am too confused to ask an intelligent one.
UPDATE: It seems like “Automatically Update States” Solved the Omnisphere issue. I assumed that this would be needed to be checked if I were to always save the Rack. In addition, I noticed that there is a check for this in both the Edit Rack mode and the Edit Song mode.
