    I have the latest Collection 7 from the sister site.

    I have the following problems which annoy the hell out of me:

    1. When I press the favorite preset button (the little 'heart" icon next to a preset), it doesn't seem to save my choices. If I open up another instance of the Arturia instrument, then none of the instruments have saved my presets.

    2. The same is the case with my user presets. If I save a preset under its own name, it doesn't show up on the list and is never really saved.

    3. If I have more than one Analog Lab 4 instance open in my DAW, then I get a GUI-error with the following text:
    Unexpected error on GUI loading.
    [XML] Error on parse file C:\ProgramData\Arturia\Analog Lab 4\Resources\Analog Lab 4_GUI_xml : Init failed, no param id defined for
    component(C:\jenkins\root\workspace\VC6_INSTRUMENT_TEMPLATE_RELEASE/jucearturialib\src«DeclarativeUI\IViewControlled.cpp::Line241)
    I can click to remove the error-message, but the GUI is unclickable and a bit messed up, graphics-wise. The C:\Jenkins thing is weird since that folder doesn't exist and "Jenkins" is not related to my computer or my name (it's not my username or anything like that).
    This is all running Ableton Live, WIN10 64bit


    Any help with any of the errors above is greatly appreciated!

    Update: Running Ableton as admin solved the preset and heart problems. However, running Live as admin ruins two things I use daily: Live Enhancement Suite and drag and drop from Windows Explorer. Anyone know of a workaround where I can save Arturia Presets without running Live as admin?

    The GUI error seemed to be solved after complete reinstall. Perhaps because I installed the standalone versions this time as well (just a guess).

    I do get other errors, though:
    The plugin crashes when playing a multi in Analog Lab and deleting one of the two instruments. (This also happened before, but I forgot to mention it).

    I also get an error saying I need the newest version of Arturia to open certain presets.

    I can live with these last two problems, though.

    Found a usable workaround for the presets and hearts problem:
    As I said, it works fine when opening Ableton Live as an admin, but this is not feasible since I lose some other functions when using Live as admin. Here is what works for me, though:
    1. Use Ableton Live as normal (not admin mode), create music and work in projects as you do normally when using Arturia (save presets, click the heart-icon). Your presets won't be saved right away and won't show up in your preset browser inside the Arturia instruments.
    2. Create a new project containing with 25 midi tracks containing all Arturia instruments. That's only if you use all 25 regularly - I mostly just use 5-6 from the Collection + Analog Lab. Save this project somewhere on your drive.
    3. Make a habit of opening Ableton Live as admin once in a while, open the project file with all your Arturia midi tracks (containing the instruments) and close down Live when the project has loaded. By doing this, the Arturia plugins will write the user presets to the disk because of admin mode.
    4. Now just open Live as normal and your presets will appear in non-admin mode. Just repeat step 3 once in a while to make newly saved presets available in non-admin mode.
    It might sound like much, but as a whole it takes like 5 minutes to set up the first time and 1 minute to open the Arturia project in admin mode and shut down a couple of times a month.

    Why do you browse your samples from Windows and not from Live ?
    It will solve one of your problems if you don't drag and drop from Windows to Live.

    Live Enhancement Suite doesn't look essential.

    you know, i have so many damn samples over the decades etc, I don't generally add them to Ableton pane, but that could be a throwback to older versions... as it would want to index and whatnot all of that. I gotta wake up and reread the particulars on that... as if not, yeah, i will do that.

    I have noticed Ableton 10 seems a lot slower for me in previewing clips/samples etc then v9, and my machine is pretty solid... i don't know if it's just me...

    Perhaps you have some minor problem because my samples are on a HDD 7200rpm and they load in a quarter second when I'm browsing,and running Live as Admin.

    Your Windows power options are on "High performances"?

    I've had issues 1 & 2 (I don't use Analog Lab,) for the last year-plus, using Studio One/Win7Ult., and, yes, it's super frustrating. :crazy:

    I'm using OSX... but I have never had a problem before... granted I JUST updated to v10, so it could still be indexing, and I do have like 42TB online right now, so I usually use a third party piece of software like Snapper or whatnot or just finder preview, as I know where most of my stuff is, and as I said, in earlier versions of Ableton, cramming the samples folder and having it index them all and whatnot did gum up the works a bit.. i didn't know if they now approached this differently, and obviously I should research that..

    thanks for your help though!

    lol, yeah, I have been doing this a long time and have loads of different projects going on and there different assets etc.... so it kinda adds up you know? Granted those 42TB's are NOT ALL SAMPLES lol, not at all, they are sessions and whole albums and whatnot you know? but I do have a crap ton of samples, as I have been sampling since the late 80's... :)
