When entering the properties dialog in the knob it defaults an empty name and label which means that every time you go into the properties it erases whatever name and label you had there before. This is a bit silly as what if I want to change just one of them?

With one knob this is not that bad but what happens once you need to edit 64 knobs?

Heh, ok, I was using version 0.80t so going back to version s helped. I'll debug that module and make sure it works with the knob that has the bitmap.

I found a real properties related bug:

When you change the scale of the knob, say, the CTRL modifier key scale it doesn't register the value untill you click another 'topic' in the properties window or close the properties. Actually, what seems to happen is that the CTRL key does not work because the text entry still is highlighted so all key strokes are registered there. Even after I press enter it doesn't register the number and 'move away' from the text edit dialog which results in the above weirdness.

EDIT: this seems to be a common problem in ANY text entry box. All the float, string, integer etc. boxes. The Enter key on the keyboard should be used to bring the focus back to whatever was last (the schematic or a dialog or vstView).

EDIT 2: I figured it out, pressing TAB works as enter should and gives back the focus to whatever was before, atleast in the properties window.

    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.
