#8 is a good bug. I don't recall coming across this one.
 
 



A good bug?  Is that like the ones in active yoghurt?

#5 and #6 are definitely fixed.
Re #9 you have to turn on "Translate bank and program changes" in the plugin properties from plugin manager.

Was it ever logged -  if so do you have a CWBRN number for it?
 


Here's mine about problem #8: CWBRN-3504

To retain control over mute/solo switching in a drum map without having to go back to Track View.
 
This might not be an issue in X3 as I've heard that solo/mute behaviour is now as it should be, but up until now this has always been a major PITA when editing drums (or anything else using a Drum Map)


 
Ah, that makes sense.

1. No, you must toggle global snap on an off after changing resolution for the PRV grid to follow.
 

 
Thanks for your reply. I've only read the first answer but as I said its Inline PRV and I tried toggling global snap on and off and it didn't work. 


Sorry; missed that. That's the trouble with laundry lists - too much information for one post/thread.  As far as I know, the Inline PRV grid has never followed snap. It just auto scales based on zoom level, and never shows triplet or dotted values.

As for #6

My reading of this (application freeze/whitescreen on inserting synths) issue is that it affected a limited number of people. I'm not one of them, so I guess you'll have to wait for someone who did to tell you whether it's fixed. But given that it was clearly system/configuration-dependent, and very inconsistent for some users, you'd have to take any one user's report of a fix with a grain of salt.

This was indeed fixed. Fortunately one of my systems was the only one in the office that apparently exhibited this symptom. Cancelling from the insert synth dialog would appear to hang the UI.
So I managed to track it down and fix it. It was a bizarre side effect of some code calling LockWindowUpdate followed by Unlock. On my system this would leave the UI unresponsive after inserting or cancelling the insert. It would be unresponsive until I moved the mouse outside the app. Probably some weird bug or interaction with Windows on some systems that was stalling SONAR's message queue.
 
This lock operation was actually no longer required (its not recommended anymore) so I took it out and it solved the problem.

Re #9 you have to turn on "Translate bank and program changes" in the plugin properties from plugin manager.


Roland JP gave me the same advice but it still didn't work. They too confirmed that banks changed successfully in Z3TA+ but not in Z3TA+2. (They weren't allowed to test third-party plugs.)

Mine is 15836 (Problem Reporter ticket). I submitted it in March.
 
 
 
Also, can you work on #1 (obviously half-baked) and #3? These are very inconvenient IMO.
