I just got a chance to check this a little further and found something even more odd. In Dimension Pro, the browser still lists the original programs (e.g., 05 - Drums) and plays them fine (even after I lumped them all together). I installed sforzando this evening, and in that "05 - Guitars" is listed instead of drums... sforzando also loads them all without issue (but doesn't see the drums, as DimPro doesn't see the guitars). Incredibly odd, but seems as though the .prog files
are all present, but Dim Pro will only load one set (similar to sforzando, but in reverse)... it is almost like Dim Pro dumped all of its conflicts during installation into the C:\Multisamples folder. I have been playing with a cwp with both DimPro and sforzando inserted, both playing from their "05" bank.
Another odd (maybe Win10 specific) issue with sforzando standalone... this thing is literally importing ALL samples at an incredibly slow speed (40MB/sec from an SSD). No clue why it is doing this (v1.933), since the VSTi in a host is instantaneous. It is almost like it is trying to resolve these conflicts during load in standalone mode. It did open a few times after only 15 seconds or so, but now seems in a "do loop" of loading and doesn't stop. I will circle back on this one later on, since the ARIA player for Garritan relies on this and now my ARIA player is mucked up in standalone too. I will try moving DimPro samples out of view and see if that affects it. Quick edit: I moved DimPro's samples out of the Multisaple folder and sforzando is still taking forever to load in standalone mode. I will try to figure out what it is doing later on when I have time.
Update: The issue with sforzando was Win10. Setting the compatibility mode to Win7 resolved it (but only on the first launch, so still an issue).
