So did X1b fix your bug?

I won't know until i've downloaded it and tried it but what have you found that has been fixed and what hasn't?

Did X1 have bugs? I never noticed any.

X1 still hates my Moog Little Phatty's USB port...

Haven't checked everything, obviously, but here are a few:
 
Fixed:
- Set Measure/Beat At Now is entering tempo changes at the correct Now time!
- Universal snap value holding steady as I change to PRV or launch Step Sequencer.
- Control bar not disappearing after using Event Inspector, and hitting Spacebar to audition changes.
- Add MBT to Pool Option is now working (was always grayed out).
- Haven't checked much else.
 
Not fixed:
- Input echoed tracks go silent on rewind after recording (problem since going to x64 SONAR and drivers for my E-MU 1820).
- Velocity tails in the controllers pane do not change smoothly when drag-editing velocity of notes in PRV (this problem is peculiar to my DAW with 8600GT graphics - does not happen on laptop with cheapo onboard Intel graphics).
- Peak + RMS meter mode not saved for Record meters (setting is saved, but actual metering mode reverts to RMS only after re-opening saved project).
- Keyboard shortcut "P" does not open Preferences if a project is not yet opened, but Edit > Preferences does.
 
New issues:
- Cori Yarckin - Floating demo causes immediate dropout on playback - increasing buffer size does not help. Had no trouble playing back with 3ms buffer in X1a. Just discovered when I went to check the status of the PX-64 Attack bug, and have not done any troubleshooting yet.
 
I've stopped checking other things until I figure out the cause of this new issue.
 
EDIT: X1b did a white-screen crash after canceling the dropout warning pop-up. The more things change, the more they stay the same...
 
EDIT2: Hmmm.... don't know what the problem was, but the Floating demo is back to playing fine  with 3ms buffers after restart of SONAR. Audio engine must have gotten into a bad state somehow. This allowed me to check the PX-64 Attack bug, and it is not fixed. But none of the Not Fixed bugs I've listed were promised to be fixed in X1b, so I guess that's as expected.
 
 

First impression:

* Better and Tighter AUDIO and MIDI.

* GUI works much better and much faster and responsive. ScreenSets

* MAP BUG Fixed. Track view window doesn't scroll randomly anymore.

* SNAP work again

* Quantize in AUDIO SNAP work.

* Pro Channel work. ON OFF button

* Re-organize tracks in busses "ALT+drag" in Console work.

* Disable "Show MIDI-tracks" in Console work again and remember the status.
 
and many other bugs fixed...etc


Numerous important issues and vail functions are FIXED. Yes I'm very Happy!!

The rhetorical question. Some users, myself included thinks it's better. Others think it's worse. It's an opinion not a certifiable fact.

There's only one way you'll answer that for yourself.

First impressions

X1 still crashes randomly when opening projects started in 8.5.3

Until I get a handle on this, there's no way I can do any deeper testing

X1b seems to be able to co-exist with 8.5.3, unlike X1a

So hopefully running the 2 in parallel for a while might help me to sort things out

But is it better than 8.5.3, or shall I wait a bit longer? A sincere question - I can't afford any issues in my studio.

 
    I like mixing in X1 much better then in 8.5 (3).  The things I do not like (maybe because I have not got the hang of it yet) is working in Staff View and Piano Roll View.   They appear both convoluted and confusing.  If you are just doing audio and/or mixing I believe X1 to be much faster and easier to work with. 
    Hopefully they worked out the stability issues with X1, if they did, I would say it is certainly worth the upgrade price.

Has anyone noticed that you can right click on a single channel strip in CV and make it narrow. Yay!

Allows you to go and narrow only those channels you want. Shame you can't Ctrl click and multi select. i couldn't find any modifier to do multiples

Twigman, 
    Hearing that you prefer X1 PRV over 8.5.3 gives me some hope that once I get more acclimated to the tools I will like it better as well.  With that said, my main two issues seem to be:
    1- When I open PRV I try to drag a note, but all notes seem to be selected and linked by default.  The only way to unselect them is by clicking somewhere out of the PRV..this slows me down. 
    2- I cannot figure out smart tool CC drawing so I use the draw tool for this.  Lets say in the velocity lane, it will only allow me to change the velocitys for the notes that are highlighted.  In earlier versions I never highlighted anything, I went in and started carving out my velocity data at will, all over the place, with reckless abandon.  'Velocity freedom', if you will.
    The extra steps one has to take is more frustrating than anything.  Totally killin my flow maaannn.

Another 3 or 4 hours and the download will finish, and then I can test a few things. I'm hoping that audiosnap is AOK and that various envelope/layer issues have been fixed.

My pretty much only bug was the Show Velocity default in the PRV. Still does it and requires a couple mouse clicks EVERY time I open the PRV.

PLease can someone help me out. In --->T and the Tools. In tools menu many tools comes up but there are one tool that look like "snap values" "1/8, 1/4, 1/16 etc.." that you can select from Tool Menu. WHAT IS IT FOR? It doesn't change any snap values either or have any logical function set to it? I can't find anything about it in the Manual either? What is it for? Thanks in advance!

 
That's for selecting the note length for inserting new notes in the PRV and Staff views.

My concern is that I don't want any "backward" bugs, meaning X1 affecting 8.5.3's operation, of which there have been some reports. I have the whole X1 downloaded, but not installed. Separate HDD I suppose then.. 

I also have X1 and the patches all downloaded, but not yet installed. I'd like to install both (8.5.3 & X1) on my sys....(after I reformat my OS drive I'll do a fresh install of X1). I currently have 4 drives...OS, projects, samples, and an empty 250GB drive.
 
Do you guys install 8.5 & X1 on seperate drives or all softwares on the OS drive? Or what's the best way to have both installed? 
 
 

+1 my friend
