When I run Synthmaker vst's, the program change from my midi controller does nothing.

Your description of what you feel is a bug is not very specific: which vsts, which MIDI controller, which DAW, which configuration etc.

So it is not exactly clear what 's the problem your aiming at.

However, I think the general answer is, that SynthMaker's "standard" preset management mechanism does not provide support for MIDI Program Changes. And as most (if not all) vsti's built with SynthMaker that feature some kind of preset management use the mechanism mentioned, it is clear that they will not react on MIDI program changes.

By the way, there are many (non SynthMaker) vsti's out there that do not support MIDI Program Changes, even some that are rather sophisticated. To mention a few: ZebraCM, FabFilter One, Arturia Analog Factory, Arturia Jupiter 8V, Araldfx GrandElectrix.

It might not quite rate as a 'bug' but the preset manager should support MIDI program change.

Here's one that does:

presetManagerMIDI.osm

Oddson,

Does this also resolve automation incompatibilities between, as an example, Cubase SX2 and not Cubase SX3?

At the present the following hosts are compatible with my module:

# Cubase SX2 # Kore 1.1 # EnergyXT 2.0 # VSTHost 1.44 # Wavelab

Thanks,

Hi Oddson,

tried your updated preset manager in the example synth. Very good stuff!! The 'sound' and the preset names update correctly when doing a midi program change. The drop down menus and switches update in the GUI

But the knobs do not update their GUI position (When I use the preset up/down buttons or preset drop down instead, the position does get updated)

Only if i remove the redraw limiter from within any knob, its GUI position gets updated after midi program change. Is the any solution that would not require to remove the redraw limiter? (removing this limiter seems bad for cpu use)

Think it has something to do with the fact the redraw rate can not be determined when only midi input.

thnx

Ok, it can be solved by placing a de-threader after the midi event trigger. (thnx Malc)

Thanks for the program change osm, Oddson!

LOL - Saw the 'thanks' on here and went 'WTF? I don't remember this.' 😮

Took me a while to realize my post is from 2007. 🙂

Ha ha, yup, I searched for how to do program change, got 3 osms and the above one worked the fastest.

Turns out I prefer to use the mouse, I play guitar and I decided against having my Behringer floorboard do the prog ch duties.

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    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.
