Synfire 1.7 Beta Midi Drone?

Hi

Andre thanks to your fast reply

Ok,now i see the problem

I did several templates with Ableton-Synfire with drones & Reaper

And now when i open them the midi drones not appeared as i save them

See the picture,now appear as Node Engines,not as DAW2 midi drones as i save them,with the check boxes of the midi drones marked

Then,need i to create a new templates? or is possible to changes the Node Engines as DAW2 RAcks?

* In the Audio & Midi setup window in the Inputs tab appear different DAW2 vst drone input,if i check their boxes what can i do with those input? one example please

And the Driver IAC Bus 1 midi port input,what can i use it,and the Loopback checkbox is for?

Thanks

Regards

Hi

Andre forget my first example of template,it was not created with midi drones

I have opened the templates that i created with ableton or with reaper or with ableton-reaper all with midi drones and in synfire 1.7 beta none of them does not work

Before in 1.6.6 all work

First i opened ableton and second synfire but in synfire 1.7 i open first Ableton,load the template open synfire load the template and appear a message saying that i must first open the Daw and i opened first the daw,i don,t know why ask me that if in 1.6.6 never asked that me?

I press cancel and the template opened incomplete and disorganized and the midi drones boxes appear unchecked,see the pictures,appear two daws DAW1 and DAW2 ?

Must i create again all the templates new with synfire 1.7 beta?

Thanks

Hi Andre

Thanks to your answer and advices

No,i save them with save and in the same folder associated.

When i opened them in synfire 1.6.6 i did not have any problem but don,t worry.

I will do again them with shared rack instead private racks.I think is possible to create a shared rack templates with midi drones and more practical that create them with private racks

Thanks to your help Andre

I know that you are very busy with the update and with our problems,i can imagine how will be your brain with much tension & responsability,you are as our mother and father :)

Hi

Andre,ok i have today free time and i am trying to make a new templates but for the moment i can not because i have found a bug making containers :  (https://users.cognitone.com/content/synfire-17-beta-container-bug)

I have several doubts,please clarify me:

-* When i create a template i do these steps

First i open Ableton and create one midi track with an instrument rack,inside it i create several cognitone vst drones

I create corresponding number of midi tracks,each midi in the track contains the drones

Open Synfire,In the past i created a tracks with private plugins & midi drones checkboxes checked (and you know all my templates that i created by this way now in synfire 1.7 beta don,t work)

In the present i want change my method and try by, in the Audio & Midi setup rack modules with DAW 1-2-3..... and name it corresponding with the drones: Bass-Arp.....and colour them 

My doubts are:

In your ableton video tutorial says first save synfire and after ableton

-In audio & midi setup how must i save the template:

File-Save Rack & Setup or Save Rack & Setup As (save a copy)

-In ableton how must i save the template:

Save Set Live or Save Set Live As

- Can i for example one day to create a template in ableton with midi drones,save it and another day create in synfire its corresponding template and save or is mandatory save the two(synfire-ableton) at the same time or moment,first synfire,second ableton?

Hi

Andre yes,my template concept is just as you described

I did in this way several templates but i can not load correctly in 1.7 beta

I will do again them,this afternoon i will do one and i inform you if it works nice

Thanks to your help :)

Best regards

Hi

Andre,excuse me i forgot

Also i did several templates with 1.6 :

1* Ableton Master-Reaper Slave-Synfire

2* Reaper Master-Ableton Slave-Synfire

††† Then in 1* first i must save Synfire-save Ableton-save Reaper

Open first Ableton-open Reaper-Open Synfire

Save As first Synfire-Save as Ableton-Save As reaper

††† Then in 2* first i must save Synfire-save Reaper-save Ableton

Open first Reaper-open Ableton-Open Synfire

Save As first Synfire-Save as Reaper-Save As Ableton

Is correct?

Best Wishes

Hi

I have done one template with ableton and synfire and does not work

I saved first synfire and then Ableton

I have opened the ableton project,synfire and a warning message appears,see please the png image

When i did these templates in synfire 1.6 never had a problem to open them

Regards

Hi

Ok Andre,great tomorrow i try the fix and i will inform you

Thanks

Regards

Hi

Andre i have installed the last update and i have been creating templates all the afternoon and does not work

When i open them appears the same window error,see the png

Please can i send you in zip one of the templates and you study it?

Is clear something has changed,in 1.6 i had not any problem to open the templates

Regards

Hi

I have found the secret to work,to open the old and new templates & songs in Synfire beta 1.7

In synfire 1.6 i first applied double clic directly over (for example) the template.als (Ableton) and after directly over the template.cognac and them opened without problems but...

in 1.7 beta this method for me does not work (i don,t know for another people)

I have discovered that yes work first apply double clic to the Ableton Icon (it opens empty) after double clic over the Synfire icon (it opens empty) go to ableton and load template.als go to synfire and load template.cognac

In this way yes

By the way,one question

When i opened the first version of Synfire it opens with Synfire and Engine,Synfire in foreground with a new arrangement

Now,i dont know why  it opens with Synfire and Engine but Engine in foreground and when i take Synfire in foreground it is empty without any arrange,i must go to the top  File-New-Arrangement

Regards

Hi

Andre yes,i can not make a video gif to see it because it not record the top menus of synfire

I simply double clic over the icon of Synfire and appears in the top the menu of the Engine and i must Comand+Tab to select the synfire Menu and File- New Arrangement

Don,t worry i can compose in this way,not affect anything to the software,only we can say that is weird situation :)
