ZynewaveKeymasterI installed a bunch of Bootsie plugins a couple of months ago, and gradually almost every one of them has crashed at random during plugin scanning. Something scary is going on there. If the problem also exists for Cubase users, I’ll assume the Bootsie developer is aware of the problem and is trying to fix it.
ZynewaveKeymasterJust read in the news on kvr that a new Synth1 1.08 version is released. One of the things mentioned is:
Fix: Correspondence of the malfunction that the MIDI tab of the optional dialogue is replaced by without permission.
Apparently a robot translation from Japanese, but it seems that this is a fix for the MIDI tab problem.

Hi Frits,

Scanning of each plugin produces the various device mapping, device definition, preset and parameter objects. To be able to skip rescanning plugins in case of a crash, then it’s necessary to save the project template file after each scanned plugin.
Why does the plugin database need to be part of the POD file, and therefore part of the template?
Reaper scans for new plugins each time you start it up (by default, but it can be configured to only scan on command) and writes the list of plugins to an ini file in an Application Data folder. You can then create as many Project files (equivalent to Podium projects) as you want without having to rescan the plugin database.
Is there some architectural reason the database can’t be separated from the POD file?
The main reason that the plugin definitions (or database) are included in the project file, is to allow customization of the plugin setups for different projects. You may have different plugin setups that you have organized for mastering, mixing, surround, classical, rock, and so on. Another use could be to have one setup that is organized into folders for plugin vendors, and another into folders for plugin type. You save these different setups in project templates. With the use of the “Load device setup” from the project template menu you can even switch between the plugin setups while working on the project.
I agree that the vast majority of users won’t bother with organizing different plugin setups, and will only ever need one setup. That’s why I’m currently making some changes for 2.28 that will support a global plugin database. The plugin setup is still included in the project, but the management of the plugin setup is now much easier. I hope to have a preview ready later this week.

Unfortunately the Multi version of Garritan Personal Orchestra 4 still imports with only 2 outputs. I made a Track Template a while ago that included the 16 MIDI inputs and 16 stereo outputs, but it doesn’t work in 2.27b5, or 2.26 for that matter. Do I have to create a new template, or is there some way to get the import to recognise that the plugin has 16 stereo outputs?
I purchased my GPO4 upgrade tonight, and I have found out why the GPO4 multi-out doesn’t import correctly. Expect a fix in 2.28.

You can copy/paste tracks using the standard Windows clipboard method.

Consider that you can insert plugins with latency between two sends on a track, and that you can have a bus return feed into effects with latency before being routed through another bus send. Thinking about it too long can give you a headache :-k
ZynewaveKeymasterNo, all effects are applied to the track. They cannot be applied to individual events on the track.
ZynewaveKeymasterSeemed like a good topic for a video demonstration, so I created a short video of how it can be done:

It requires that the plugin you use has a VST parameter for setting the dry/wet ratio.
