[SOLVED] Helm not saving presets

Post by oscillator »

Hi,

I used the latest version of Helm and the latest MusE (pre3). I have a song with 3 Helm synths and midi tracks.

I selected some cool presets and saved the song. When loading it again, I get completely different presets/sounds.

Is this expected to work, or am I doing something wrong?

I get more strange things happening with Helm...bringing forth the native GUI works once, but not twice... It never draws the GUI the 2nd time, and MusE doesn't respond anymore (but keeps playing). Ah, plugins not working again...

There was a fix in MusE that affects Helm a few days after pre3 was released.

From the ChangeLog:
LV2: Fix sequencing/syncing plugins (Helm, LV2 metronome, NoiseMak3r...) (Tim)

Don't know if it is related, might want to try master though. Or wait a few days as I was thinking to make a pre4 release soon.

Ah yes, enable the option in our Settings to actually select a different UI.
Then choose a different UI when prompted to, when opening the UI.
I forget which one, but choose the 'other' one.
It works fine with it. There are some problems with the default one.

Thanks a lot TIm, this fixed the GUI-issue!

Selected preset is still not saved, though. I will wait for pre4 and test it!

Great!

BTW Which softsynths works well for other people (w MusE)?

Using the 2nd GUI also solved the save preset issue, so now my songs using Helm are restored correctly.
