Hello again,

I spent a fair amount of time preparing a template based on a midi file. I import the MIDI, rename, recolour and change icons for each channel, then split he pattern by channel to get separate playlist scores. Now it's time to replace the MIDI instruments with proper sounding VSTs. But when I do, the name, colour and icon I spent time editing get replaced by the default setting for the VST name.

Is there a way to replace a generator without affecting the name and format I had chosen for each pattern?

As a secondary question, UNDO does not work to return to the original configuration. I guess I should be using some kind of "history revert" instead. I thought Undo would do it (I sett the Undo level to a very high number) but it doesn't want to know.

Thank you again for your assistance.

 

I received notification of your original message. Made me laugh.
