EXS24 notes and problems (partly-VSL related)

2003-05-01 by Colin Shapiro

I posted this on the VSL forum but these bugs apply to all EXS24 users

Bug#1: Here's a nasty one:
Select an EXS24 instrument (eg VI-14_sus_basic-EN.exs)
Open the EXS24 Instrument Editor and modify a few settings.
Close the window - you get an alert asking you if you want to save or 
not. DON'T save.

Select another instrument, then go back to VI-14_sus_basic-EN.exs
Open the Editor.
Even though you chose NOT to save changes, the instrument will still 
be in the edited state in which you last left it.

Not even closing the song helps - you have to quit Logic to reset the 
instrument. I don't know if the Project Manager is at fault, perhaps 
retaining settings in a buffer of some kind.

This is a serious bug and completely inhibits a user when editing instruments.

Bug#2: Warning: Re-lock your files

I found that after some editing experiments (and choosing NOT to save 
any of my edits), some instrument files had new dates with the 
current time - in other words, Logic or the Project Manager had 
somehow decided to overwrite the .exs files.

Until these bugs are fixed, I have locked all my instrument files 
again (thank you Golden Key!) until further notice. I don't feel like 
having to re-install from DVD every time I try out some experiments.

I have forwarded these bugs to Emagic.

Regards - Colin
