[BUG!] PX64 - Adjust it, sounds great. Save project, close, re-open, sounds like crap.

Make sure you save a preset!!

Although you shouldn't have to all plug ins should keep their values when saved...

I did save it as a preset. The problem existed before and after doing so.

The ONLY changes to the project I made between the times it sounded great and the times it sucked was cutting and special pasting the MIDI farther back in the project. No adjustment to PX64 parameters.

I could see how that would get some wheels turning that there was some project corruption in the move or something, HOWEVER, as I said, the problem exists in brand new projects when I use that drum sample and that PX64 setting.

I don't get it! *bangs head through drywall*

I hate problems like this that have no logical rhyme or reason, you know? But thus is computers *sigh*

Ok, so this has happened again, with my floor tom instrument track. Make adjustments, sounds great, save and close project, reload, sounds like crap. In particular, sounds really poppy, perhaps overloaded for some reason. I'm officially deeming this a bug. And I really hope the Cake guys look into it!

So you think they're working on it for one of the upcoming updates?

Just noticed it happened to my mid tom as well.

Ya never know when Submitted to Development will actually get to Fixed. It can take years, but I would bet this one gets fixed sooner rather than later, 'cause it renders the whole plug unusable, and should be a pretty simple fix I would think. 

I ran in to a similar problem with the VX-64 Vocal Strip but the only thing it effects is the delay portion of the plug.

The knobs stay in the correct spot, but the settings go back to default, with the exception of the delay knob, which is magically set to a 1 second delay. It's easily fixed though by moving any of the knobs in the delay section a tiny bit. All the settings pop back to where I had them.

That's been happening to me since I started using the VX-64 plug in 8.5. Doesn't matter if I save my settings as a preset or not.

Hey Dime, I never heard of the problem you are having in 8.5, I wonder if you can use the .dll for the PX-64 plug that came with 8.5 in X1 to see if that fixes it?

That's so messed up isn't it? What in X1 could cause that?

It's almost like there's an embedded worm in the X1 code that's screwing with it. Seriously, I mean, this stuff can't be for real can it? Somethings gotta be going on. LOL

Yeah. I think you're right. I just tried to reproduce it in 8.5.3, and couldn't. Seems X1 is just not saving/restoring parameter values correctly.  

Had the same thing happen to me! It stays put if I use a preset but goes wacky if I tweak it..

Can we have some kind of confirmation from a Caker Baker that this problem is noted?

 
As I said, my problem report is 'Submitted to Development", which is about as good as it gets for acknowledgement of the issue.

Yes, they were able to reproduce the problem. I made it easy for them by using the Snare Top track in the Cori Yarckin demo as an example. It was clipping the output right out of the box because of the extreme Attack level in PX64.

I'd like to sleep well at night with the knowledge that they're on top of fixing genuine ERRORS, before even enhancing features any further.

 
I think people have been saying that since approximately Pro Audio 6.

Sorry for double posting the problem. Didn't realize this post was covering the same thing I was experiencing

No joy. I first encountered this problem in X1, and can't remember whether I ever tried to reproduce it in 8.5.3. But I just checked, and the DLLs are the same version (1.0.0.222).

Hmmm ... interesting. I just checked my PX64_PercussionStrip.dll and it is version 1.0.0.184.

Why would we have different .dll's since we're both running the same program?
