I quit .. I'm going back to SHS6

I have got another problem with SHS7. This time it's with Real Guitar 2. I'm not able to use the Pattern Mamager in RG2 in SHS7 (even using a separate midi and audio track) but it work fine in SHS6.
I also observed that when you insert an instrument using a separate Midi and Audio track that you cannot simply double-click on the icon on the midi track to show the synth. Double-clicking on the icon seem to toggle the focus but nothing happen.

I'm using Cakewalk software for a long time (my first copy was Cakewalk Pro v2.0 for Windows) and also love Roland hardware, but this time it's too much.
I think I'm gonna used SHS6 for a while.

Please fix this product.

Note : It's strange because I felt the same when I had to go back to Windows XP after I have tried Vista.

    that's odd..i just tried Real Guitar 2 and the pattern manager works just fine....I inserted as an instrument track...recorded some chord changes on the keyboard ...then opened the pattern manager, selected a pattern and dragged it into the track on top of the chord changes...worked as expected

    Same here Alain - I have to open the synth rack to do this.

    Hi Epytryga.

    Have you tried to preview the pattern before inserting it in a track ?

    Here what I've done.
    - I have inserted RG2 as an Intrument Track.
    - I have loaded the Nylon Guitar.
    - I have selected "Chords"
    If I play a chord it work fine.
    Then I opened the pattern manager and selected a a picking preset. The window showing the midi note of the pattern selected is dsabled. So i stil only hearing the chords I played. If I press the pattern button on RG2 to activate it, the window become active but I do not hear nothing. Neither the chord I play or a pciking pattern.
    If I drag this pattern in the track, it will work, but I would like to preview it (like in SHS6).

    Thank for your help

    works fine here....make sure you've clicked the pattern button on the real guitar interface...not just the PM button...if you don't tell RG to use the patterns by clicking the pattern button, they will appear grayed out and won't play.

    Well, it's when the playing pattern is on that I have a problem. It's like RG2 stop receiving midi input when the pattern is on. It stop changing the chords I'm playing on my keyboard (showing the last one that I've played before activating the pattern mode).

    It's odd because it work so well in SHS6.

    Here's more information.

    I have insert an instrument track
    In the input/output section :
    - Input = Omni
    - Output = ASIO4ALL
    - No chanel selected
    - No bank selected
    - No patch selected

    I'm using ans Edirol PCR-M30 keyboard.

    I have tried to change the channel, bank and patch and didn't work.

    What's your configuration.


    Thank for your help !

    This is how I usually do it...I make a pass recording all my chords for the song from my AKAI MPK49....then I open the pattern manager and click on pattern....hit play and start auditioning patterns...when I find one I like, I drag it into the track and loop it and drag it out the desired number of measures...try that and see how it works...

    I got it. Because it work for you I have start to thing what could be different on my system. Then I have a clue. I was using the VST version of RG2. So I change it for the DXi version and wow ... now it's working

    Thank for your help.
