Is this AIR Loom II ???

Nice find!

To me it sure does sound like Loom and Transfuser.   I've used Transfuser minimally, but Loom is definitely a favorite of mine - it's just "different" from anything else I have.  Not to mention the entertainment factor when watching the partials jump and down.  

Whatever that is that clips sounds very nice .

Nice find abacab. Looking forward to the update.
I have been using Loom, Transfuser and Hybrid a lot so any updates (especially free) would be welcome.
 
One thing that irks me slightly with these Air plugins is that whenever I use them on a project whichever preset I have selected gets saved as the preset - 1 (or maybe + 1, can't remember exactly). So when I load the project I have to remember to select the preset next to the one that gets loaded. Anyone else notice this or have a solution?
 

I really like Loom and Hybrid.  I need to spend as bit more time with Transfuser,  I have watched quite a few videos on it so I realize it is deep and can do a lot, but I just haven't mastered the workflow yet.  Maybe the larger UI will help a bit!
 
I have never had a plugin saved with a project resume with its preset offset +/- 1, including those from AIR. 
 
I have had a few other plugins that either cannot resume with the saved preset at all, or even if they have saved the settings, no longer displayed the saved preset name.  But those were known issues that seem to affect all users.  Sometimes it was a matter of the bug being in the VST2 vs. VST3 version of a plug.
 
So I can't imagine what would cause that, unless you have some unexpected MIDI event sending a patch change event somewhere. 
 
I have noticed that AIR instruments such as Xpand!2, Hybrid, and Loom respond to MIDI patch change events.  I first observed this when I was trying to play some old general MIDI files with Xpand!2, and the presets I selected kept switching on playback.  I guess when you are working with a GM synth you need to set up your instrument sounds at the beginning of your sequence.

Thanks for the reply abacab.
Yeah the same thing happens with presets in XPand!2 so it seems to be an Air bug/feature.
I have looked but never found any extraneous MIDI messages being sent to the plugins so it remains a mystery for now.
 

Have you tried the plugins in another DAW?  Is the problem isolated to Sonar only?

Well if it's just Sonar, then maybe it needs a liitle "refresh", as in a clean re-install.  No telling what these frequent upgrades over top of upgrades could be leaving behind ... not that I'm against the constant improvements, but just sayin ...

Hi Guys,
 
Can confirm something very cool is brewing currently :)
 
There are some maintenance updates, also a major new version of Loom on the way and perhaps some other surprises.
We believe users of Loom should be very happy as almost all feature/improvement requests have been implemented.
More official details to be available closer to launch.
 
All the best

Appreciate the update!

Oh oh, Abacab is assuming........

LOL... gonna keep me on my toes, huh?
 
That statement was too general, but was made in the scope of the discussion about presets in a plugin shifting by one place when reopening a Sonar project.
 
If you insert a plugin, and select a preset, that is stored with the project data. The project should reopen with the same preset selected, unless there is something wrong with either the plugin, or the project settings.
 
I realize that there are other plugin settings that can be made within the plugin UI that can be stored in various dedicated plugin folders, but that is not what we were discussing.

Yes sir.....been following your convo as well.
I haven't got further than just jamming with Loom, so I'm assuming it's time I should start recording with it soon....

Cheers abacab and yes I can see the logic in your assumption.
Some kind of .cwp header reader/interpreter would be useful to see what information is stored (I bet the developers have one somewhere). 

Well this doesn't exactly drill down into the bits and bytes of a .cwp, but it's still pretty cool.
 
It lets you view your project notes, see what tracks are in your project as well as what plugins, and you can even preview the audio files, all without opening the project.
 
You can preview all projects in your folder by single clicking on them, and by double clicking opens it in Sonar.

And I also am a Loom fan.

Looking forward to the new GUI's.  I've pretty much held off on using the AIR Complete package in depth until it gets a facelift.
