Certain Z3ta+ 2 Presets Silent

I get a MIDI error upon opening the standalone version and crashes every time I try to change MIDI inputs but in VST mode, I noticed at least a dozen presets were silent in the Pads 1 bank.  I haven't gone through all of the banks yet but I suspect there will be more silent presets found.

64 bit version here as well.

I must admit, I have a whole stack of silent presets too. (Using FL Studio 10) and was hoping for a more conclusive answer. Probably related, but a absolute "noob question" - Search as I might, I cannot find anywhere what the meanings are of the letters in the brackets in the presets - (eg (MW)(Velo)(Sync) etc, etc). I can take an educated guess at some of them, but was wondering if there was a list compiled anywhere? I was thinking that perhaps that might relate to the silent presets?? EDIT: I've since discovered that this is appears to be random. For example, I might use "Arp bubbling" (z3ta+ Classic Content>Arps) and it works fine. It then stops working for no apparent reason, I save and exit then fire up the program again, load the saved project and it works again. Very frustrating.

I too have noticed a few silent presets however, I think on some they are set to an arppegio and need to have the velocity raised to sound.
 
 

I'm another user who has problems with missing sounds. It all seems to be a bit random. I also get a pop up box stating that such and such isn't available and would I like it to retry (it's a bit like the pop up you get when you open something on a DVD/CD and then remove the disk but haven't shut the thing you opened down - the program tries to access the disk but it isn't there).

Roll on the correcting patch.

Grum.

It seemed there was nothing but love and beauty everything; fragrant summer air and the laughter of happy birds. Everything

listened to the singing larks in brooding thoughtlessness. Yea,even the horned snails lay stretched out on grey stones with

their houses on their backs.

See my post and the reply / follow-up in this forum entitled 
"z3ta+2 no sound from MOST DSF/Wave Scapes patches, nor from a few patches in other libs".
For whatever reason, at least one of the machines I was having this problem on suddenly fixed itself. 
However, as a check I tried installing the 32-bit version and running it under Live 8 - the Arps don't work at all on that version.  No sound unless I disable the arpeggiator, in which case there is sound from the patch but no arpeggiation.

I got Z3TA 2 yesterday (addicted to it already!) and have found several of the classic presets (mainly pads) to be silent. Haven't investigated why yet but some interesting ideas on here. I'm using it as a VSTi on Sonar X1C, both 64-bit. Haven't tried it standalone yet.

Hey guys -

The update is coming soon. We figured out what was wrong and got it fixed.  Z3TA+ 2.1 will be out in a week or two, so this will be fixed, as well as a ton of other little tweaks, improvements, enhancements, and a couple cool features too!

Stay tuned 

Hey AT -

OK, here are 2 tiny ones :)

- There's a new 'most recent patch' list in the Programs menu now, so you can see the last 20 patches you used (also includes ones from clicking the dice).
- it's easier to use the Ribbon Latch now - you can just right-click on a note in the ribbon controller to latch it - and the ribbon now lights up when you're using the mouse so you can see what notes are latched.

Just for the record the silent presets issue was fixed for me with the Z3TA+ 2.1 update :-)
