I am using hex midi guitar with bluecat patchwork on protools on a windows 11 computer. Different settings like dynamics, input gain, gate etc.. are all not storing per plugin instance. I’m not sure what else is stored globally and not per instance. Like if I have 2 plugin instances of midi guitar 3 and change the dynamics knob or input gain or gate knob to a value then go to other instance (may need inactivate and reactivate of instance) and then the values change on the instance I didn’t want to change. Even if I am on a different midi guitar patch name etc..
Is this bug planning to be fixed? So when I inactivate one blue cat and activate the other the settings transfer over (it seems to store the settings at inactivate or something). The exact key strokes for me is open two MG hex instances, tweak the gate knob, inactivate that blue cat instance, inactivate the other instance of blue cat then reactivate both and you will see the 2nd instance that was never touched gets its gate updated.
This is also similar to the issue where the “Ask for 1” vs “ask for 8” inputs is stored globally not per plugin instance. And somewhat similar to the duophonic defaulting back on the bass tracker issue which @JamO said is fixed in an upcoming update. Hopefully all these issues get fixed in that update
Seems to be something to do with this file– it updates the second I inactivate a plugin instance (that appears to be the trigger to update the file with the new gate etc… parameters). Then next time I open an instance of mg3 hex (only hex has this issue I think…), it grabs those parameters from this file.
Seems to be only a hex tracker issue but not 100% sure. It appears updating say the gate on the midi bass tracker does update the gate value on the midiguitar3 text file but when opening up new midi bass patches it doesn’t take these values. The issue appears to be that hex tracker always grabs these values instead of maintaining it’s own values per plugin
Yes. This is a bit confusing. The tracker settings are global. That’s was a decision made in order for people to easily change guitar, interface, input gain without re-saving all the patches.
We have been discussing to generalize this with some kind of tracker/guitar presets. I think that should work for you as well.
