marcperi Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I'm using an heavy piano that I'd like to use in different patch for keyboard 1 I select it and then Copy - (edit-copy or command-C) After I go to another patch, i go to Edit-paste as Alias, and the channel strip is copied properly, but is not really an alias. There is not any Alias Icon on it and is not working actually as an alias (parameter linked from original one). So it's just a new channel strip, using more memory, that is not what I need. Some of you got the same issue? Any tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Z Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Not sure why you're having the problem. Work around could be to create the patch at set or concert level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcperi Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share Posted April 26, 2011 yep, I know this.... but have you tried with last updating of mainstage 2 to have an alias channel strip? In my opinion is not working anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Z Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Actually, I specifically tested it before I posted, and it works fine. I did a guitar channel strip (audio) and a keyboard channel strip (software instrument) and tested them in the same layer, different layers, etc. I think I can remember others posting on this problem with version 2.x earlier on. Maybe search and see if you can find problems and solutions. Sorry I can't be of more help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcperi Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 It seems to work, but actually I can't see the green alias icon as described in the manual, so I'm not sure the alis is int here or just a copy. Can you see the green alias icon on the top of the channel strip ? what is your mainstage 2 version? Can you add a picture of what you see in order to compare with mime? thank you in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCTMusic Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Hi If it *is* an Alias, making a change to one of the patches will also change the other (alias/original). Should be a quick check to make? CCT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcperi Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 Well.... quick checking it.....is not working then..... I made a paste as alias.... and moving fader to original one didn't influenced the copied one.... so is not working..... I'm the only one with this problem?

Doug Z Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 In screen swipe you can see an alias on the patch level, set level (blue folder) and concert level (brown folder). I'm using version 2.1.2. Might also try key command:option command v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using version 2.1.2. Might also try key command:option command v Thank you Doug Z for supporting me for this troubleshooting. ok, we got the same version, and I'm doing the same operation as well. I'm opening mainstage in 32 bit for using the rewire with reason, but this shouldn't be a problem. Actually what I've noticed is that the alias seems to work in this way: 1 - If I add an fx in the "original channel strip" is added as well also in the alias - OK !!! 2 - If I change the volume on the "original" sound, it doesn't change in the alias OK ???? it is correct? 3 - I don't have any Green flag as mentioned in the manual on page 51. This is NOT OK 4 - I can't see any sign showing me where I've added an alias and where not. Actually I have multy sounds in layer and split in many patches. I don't have set. How I can know and remember where is the alias if I don't see the flag ? This is NOT OK 5 - When I try to remove the "original" channel strip is asking me "confirm channel delete because there is 1 alias" - THIS IS OK Can you confirm me the points above or you have some feature that I don't have? Consider that if you have some feature that I don't have for some unknown reason I'm going to kill you and steal your computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcperi Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 and here I can show you an ALIAS channel strip, that is working as I described above, but without any green flag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Z Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Confirming I'm running in 32 bit mode. Have you tried creating an alias CS in a new project - I'm wondering if you have some corruption going on. Quite odd you don't get the alias badge. Regarding points 1 through 5 1) good 2) independent volume = good 3) bad - try in new project 4) You do have sets available - you may not be choosing to use them. FInding alias is tough without the flag.... 5) yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcperi Posted April 29, 2011 Author Share Posted April 29, 2011 I tried in a couplke of new project as well, together with a couple of templates. Is not giving me the green flag. At the moment is the only small, and BIG problem I have regarding Alias Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Z Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I'm not clear what your problem is. Perhaps someone else can provide the answer. If you do resolve it, please post the solution, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcperi Posted April 29, 2011 Author Share Posted April 29, 2011 S O L V E D !!!!!! I tried everything..... and then..... i right click on the channel strip... and what I found? "Badges" was not flagged ! Flagging badges I got finally my green signs for Alias. Something so stupid made me crazy for a while. Thank you Doug Z for your support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Z Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Now why didn't I think of that....... Glad you solved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
