Hi,
I just tested Looperator but I have a big problem: I can not change the settings, as soon as I click on play, the presets default settings are recalled
Does anyone know how to handle this ?
Thanks

 

Hey Nadine Purrmann !

It worked, thank you very much!

I spent a good hour creating effects and assign them to midi keys, but after clicking on "play", everything disappeared, it almost drove me crazy!

To answer your question, what I did before: I activated the midi mode, I chose a preset, dragged it on the remote list, modified until it suits what I wanted, and so on until you have gathered about thirty personal effects, but after hit "play" buton of the host, it recalled the default presets

Thanks to you (pressing the "insert" key when playing, no more problem

Thank you

 

But it's a stupid limitation, it means that we can't test anything before saving the preset, whenever we make the slightest change, we must always remember to not click on play before saving the preset.
it kills any craving for creativity and experimentation.

Hi massichat,

yes, we understand your demand, which would give you a more full and spontaneous control in a live situation, but basically we don't want the user to overwrite the factory content. That's why there indeed is no simple auto-save function which just overwrites the factory presets. We personally don't find this behaviour very unusal or very time consuming and there is another general problem with that, if you come from within your DAW project. Then your current preset state isn't really connected to a file and the save is maybe not possible. A lot of complexity as you can see but we'll take your feature request and see what we can do about it in one of our big major updates.

Best,
Nadine

 

Thanks a lot for the clarifications.

I thought auto-save is a function built into the VST standard, am I wrong?

I thought that whatever the loaded preset and whatever changes were made, they will be saved in the DAW project by the host and will not overwrite the original presets of the plugin on the disk.

But if you say no, then I understand the difficulty.
Have a good day

 

sometimes you cant disable the autosave functions, have yours tried the synth reveal sound spire? the synth itself not excellent and not bad, which provides nice drive filters can making nice bass sound, but i had gave this up just because it messed up my presets in earlier version

 

I think there may be a little misunderstanding here. Of course, the current preset (at least the last state it was in when your DAW project was closed) will be auto-saved with the DAW project! But as far as we know it's a common behaviour that after selecting the same preset from the factory preset browser of a plugin again it will load the factory preset settings instead of your own modyfied preset settings.

Now since we are speaking about presets you call up from the Remote List within Looperator it behaves just the same way as if you would select and load a preset from the factory preset browser of Looperator.
So before you drag a preset into the Remote List you should make your changes permanent for that preset. This can be done by either using the "press and hold 'Insert' while pressing a MIDI key" workaround or using the 'Insert Current Preset' function within Looperator. Therefore just right click on the desired key in the Remote List and choose 'Insert Current Preset'.

Just to make clear, the Remote List is actually not meant to be a User preset folder but a handy tool for calling up factory presets (or presets from the user folder) on-the-fly. So saving your own presets (via the internal save file dialog in Looperator) and then dragging the previously stored presets from the User folder into the Remote List would be the safest way to ensure that your own settings don't get lost.

Best,
Nadine

 

Indeed, that's what I thought at first and that's what caused my confusion.
After spending more time, I come to understand the remote list principle.
Now, I can say that I manage the modification of the presets without loss, thank you for your patience Nadine
