VSTi track voices revert to default -ACID Product Family

Subject:VSTi track voices revert to default Posted by: PALomino Date:11/5/2011 12:49:15 PM I'm working with several VSTi soft synths in a project...all freeware, some are Krakli, some from TAL, etc. After I close and re-open a project, I find that the voice on each VSTi goes back to the first one in its drop-down menu. The track headers themselves do show the voice I'd selected, but the soft synth properties are back to the default voice. When I reselect the desired voice in the soft synth properties, The voice retains any parameter adjustments I'd made (attack, resonance, etc.) I don't have this problem with the DLS soft synth or with Kompakt or ARIA. I've tried activating Synth Control of Program change after my voices are set the way I want them, didn't help. This is Acid Pro 7 on Windows 7 x64, same problem occurs on Win XP SP3. Thanks for any replies.

Subject:RE: VSTi track voices revert to default Reply by: collinsylex Date:11/10/2011 8:18:49 PM I just experienced the exact same issue! I had used the VSTi version of Sytrus (ya the fruity loops synth), and when i returned to open the project a week later, it had switched itself from a deep bass preset to a string ensemble somehow... I also had NI Massive VSTi in the same project and it seemed to keep its settings fine... its been ages since i used acid for midi programming but i decided to give it another go with that one project.. dangit, something had to go wrong! lucky for me I was able to sherlock holmes my way back to the original sound as i had no idea what it was originally set at, I only knew that the patch i had to re-find made a very nice bass!... it was a bit nervewracking doing this infront of the client who LOVED the way it had sounded on the original bounce i gave him a week before... I just checked the project again now(after finally fixing the preset setting last night), and its still opening up the string ensemble patch instead of bass... either i have to learn what went wrong or remember that bass patch name forever incase that track will ever need further fixing! perhaps i should just bounce the part or try freeze it im on a windows 7 x64 i7 desktop

That's how its working for me, but it's not communicating with the soft synth properties somehow. So I can find the voices for each soft synth easily, but it's cumbersome to have to set them manually each and every time I re-open a project...
Subject:RE: VSTi track voices revert to default Reply by: chucky Date:1/8/2012 2:27:51 PM I am also getting bored with this reversion of vst presets, does Sony expect us to write little lists down to keep and refer to every time we open a project? Or maybe they expect us to buy acid and not use it.'Doubblyattee, eff.'
