I think I may have seen mention of this but can't locate the thread.

My VST stereo effect I'm working on is a stereo VST. If I insert this VST into a mono channel in SX3 it stops working correctly. Anyone got any pointers for mono/stereo compatibility? It's quite possible I'm doing something wrong.

I think I also have a problem with my usage of presets. If I try to switch presets it causes major problems in the audio path. First the meters peg the eventually return to zero and the channel no monger passes audio until I remove the VST from the insert path.

Also when I try to save I have similar audio problems along with the VST GUI popping up and corrupting the SX3 display window until I refresh.

I understand that the descriptions are a bit vague, but if it rings a bell with anyone I would appreciate some pointers. I suspect the preset problem has something to do with feedback loops in trying to update the controls on preset change and visa versa.

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
