Anyone Loading 2000+ Zones and/or 64+ Groups?
2003-12-30 by Evan Evans
I am running into some funny problems. I copy and pasted some zones and groups from other instruments and corrected their keyswitching SELECT BY parameters so that I have control over their selection. However it turned out that all of the samples assigned to the groups beyond the 64th one on the list were not sounding. I had a total of 66 groups so 2 groups in total were not sounding nor would they show up on the editing keyboard in the EXS editor as being played when I was playing them. maybe this is a 64 Group limitation? Well I got around that with some nifty regrouping and got the same thing happening on 54 total groups. Only that same darn two groups still would not sound. It was like they had a memory that they were from the "over 64 group limit" or something. This was true after relaunch, reboot, and changing of all EXS settings. Weird. Still as yet unsolved. I did however notice that a few, maybe one or two samples/zones, in each of the non sounding groups were sounding, and furthermore, just a few (actually 3) zones/ samples were not sounding on one of the groups that was in the "fully" sounding category here. I noticed I have a total of 2,211 total zones at this point. I wondered if maybe the reason I am not hearing some notes is because there are too many zones? I tried to test this theory by deleting some of the sounding groups and the zones they pointed to, to bring things down to like 1500 zones. I saved and loaded the instrument across a relaunch, but there was no change to the non-sounding groups even though now there was significantly fewer zones, AND groups. it seems there is some kind of zone/group memory that is saved in-state no matter if they qualify for different status, for instance from when you delete some zones/ groups to make room for them to sound. CAN ANYONE JUST TELL ME AY EXPERIENCES THEY'VE HAD WITH ANYTHING RELATED TO THIS? Whether positive or not? (and I wasn't yelling, just speaking a little louder.) :) Thanks, Evan Evans
