Using the TX16Wx sampler as VST plugin works fine, except when it comes to saving a project. Whenever i reopen the patch, all stored settings are gone, so that i have to load all banks/performances again manually. (Already tried “Auto Save” in addition with the dedicated “Save” function on/off, in each case without success). Exposing parameters doesn’t seem to work either with this specific plugin.
I’m on win 8.1 and i tried it with beta35.8_x64 and beta36_x64.
Saving manually doesn’t change anything (although there is then something written in “Save Data” in the Inspector). It really seems as if it’s just not working with this specific plugin, which is a pity, because it’s the most useful (free) sampler for my purposes…
i had the same issue with that exact vst-plugin and switched to another vst-sampler in the end… i think it was a limitation of the vst plugin itself, iirc
tested with the latest version and it it also works.
however it requires a setting to be enabled:
this saves the audio files in the fxb save information. but be aware that this can produce quite big .v4p files. but you don’t need to handle any additional sampler specific files.
for exposing/modifying parameters, the sampler exposes a generic set of 128 parameters to the VSTHost. click on ‘Info’ and enable a few parameters.
then use the mod table to map the host automation parameters to specific parameters of the sampler:
auto save doesn’t work because the sampler doesn’t send changes to the host, you need to press the ‘Save’ button manually after a change.
@tonfilm: Thank you for your useful explanations. Selecting the FXB checkbox and then hitting “save” really seems to be the most convenient way - as long a you don’t try to rename banks/performances. (That’s what at least i experienced). Renaming and saving programs (on the left) sometimes seems to work and sometimes not. I still can’t entirely reproduce what’s going on under the hood, but the checkbox thing is a solution, which is good enough for my purposes, so again, thank you!
