Synth Rack Control knobs not saving in groups

I'm finding it very frustrating having to re-assign all the control knobs I have set in my synth rack to the groups and remote controls every time I open my project.  Is there something I'm missing to set so this doesn't happen? Or is that just a parameter not saved when I save my project?

    It's a bug. Annoys me too.

    Have you saved your preset in the ACT Controller Properties page?  Not sure if that will actually make a difference, but maybe it does.

    Kind regards, Living Room Rocker

    I don't see anywhere in the Properties page to save what I've set up. Unless I'm just missing it, but I feel I have looked everywhere and can't find it anywhere

    I'm now also finding pretty annoying that I can't automate the group I've created. In essence, what's the point having these as an option what-so-ever if they're this useless?

    Yes, this is one area that could see big improvements.

    I always hated assigning four different knobs to a group then having it record four seperate automation tracks when tweaking the group. I always thought one gourp would have one automation lane.

    Exactly, You set the main knob to a controller and it affects all the rest in that group, so why doesn't the automation for that one knob affect the rest in that group?

    At the risk of a necrobump, did you ever find a solution? I am having this issue in Sonar Platinum as well.

    Honestly I gave up trying, I found it too counter active to continue using, although if it were to work properly it would be a highly useful tool

    I think I found something that works. I created an automation track for the single group that I had. The group remains intact now, and I don't have to re-assign every time I start up Platinum.

    They must have done something to fix that then, it's been quite a while since I played around with it, but I swear I tried an automation track and it still didn't.  But if it does now I think I'm going to have to look into again

    is this ONLY when using shortcuts to synth parameters using the synth rack?  I never use the synth rack, I usually just automate ACT right to the synth directly with the VST open and those settings STAY just fine.

    If you're still interested TranceCanada, I got rid of my automation track and still made it save. I had a Group of 2 knobs that weren't saving. I finally got it to save by Remote Control mapping both knobs to the same physical knob on my MIDI controller. It finally saved. No more re-Grouping when opening the Project.
     
    The funny thing is, I had deleted the knobs, and then the 2 parameters in FM8 were still operating together with the mouse! I had to fix this by reinserting the same knobs and right clicking for Clear Group on both virtual knobs to let my synth parameters operate independently again. Just quirks to Sonar.
