mikbeats Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 As You can tell I have a huge master template. All my hardware synths take up alot of space but I rarely use all of them in one project. I found out about saving summing stacks as custom patches. This would help make my arrangement window way less busy and give me a quick option to record a synth I end up actually using, awesome! Well this custom patch doesn't save all the MIDI settings I originally set in the track inspector when opening it in a new fresh project or in the template I saved it from. What's weird is that it does save the "MIDI Channel In" on the summing track and "Midi Channel In/Out" on the nested instrument track w/ ext inst plugin. Interesting it only saves some midi settings. Maybe its a bug? I'm in 10.7.9. Can someone try testing to see if track inspector midi settings are copied over? Also any advice or tips for simplifying my master template would be appreciated!

Atlas007 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Have you tried saving the channelstrip setting first and then save those within a patch? Have you considered using the Hide function? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikbeats Posted August 12, 2023 Author Share Posted August 12, 2023 Even when saving the channel strip first then save those within a patch still doesn’t work. Even saving a channel strip setting of a simple audio track’s input does not copy over either. I do use the hide feature. But I end up losing my place in the arrangement because all the hidden tracks show suddenly and workflow becomes longer scrolling to the 1 track I wanted to unhide. I know if I keep mind to have only 1 stack open at a time it easier to not lose track but if I can get this preset thing to work, I can dramatically simplify my arrangement view! Does everyone’s track inspector settings, inputs / outputs copy over from a saved patch? My LPX 10.7.9 doesn’t seem to do it regardless of a saving a patch or channel strip setting.

Atlas007 Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 ITMT, could you use the External Instrument plugin instead of MIDI tracks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikbeats Posted August 13, 2023 Author Share Posted August 13, 2023 I already use external instrument plug-ins for all my hardware synths. It does save the settings set within the ext inst plug-in but in my setup, its important to designate the “MIDI In Port” which can only be set in the track inspector.
