Hi Rene,
I can verify that it is indeed still present in 1.5.3 - the preset bug that is.
In fact - on a fresh install of z3ta 1.5.3 , just load the bank "v13 default.fxb"
click on bank A, and preset 000. Click over to Bank C - You should hear the nasty result!
Also notice that none of the quality settings are set on any preset in the entire bank A-F.
Any bank saved with a version prior to 1.4 will exhibit this problem (possibly because that was when the oversampling option was added). I know it's merely a matter of loading the older bank in 1.4 and saving it out again, but I would think that Cakewalk would have at least fixed the preset bank included with its own installation. AND it should have been made more public
Another Question: Are presets NOT backward compatible?
I have a bank of presets that were created using 1.5.3. They fail to play or sound bad when loaded into 1.41. I notice the author has made a lot of use of FM & PM in the presets.
