This could be kind of a useful feature, i.e. when playing a song and switching patches, often you don't want the BPM of the delay changing unexpectedly, just because you changed a patch. > > However, when saving patches that go with a particular song project, you definitely *do* want the BPM to change when you load the patch. So I unchecked this, and I save that unchecked MIDI map with every project, so that the patch will load and have the correct BPM. > > Saving MIDI maps along with the project is also a good habit to get into. It sucks to open a sequence and load a patch and the MIDI maps you'd recorded no longer do anything. > One more note for the archives: the BPM, MIDI Channel, and Master Tune parameters are all Locked by default when you load up PHASEX. Every time you load up PHASEX, you have to right-click on BPM, then uncheck the "locked" box, and then close the window. Then, if you load a patch via the Open... dialog, the BPM will be restored from the patch. Interestingly, if you're just flipping through patches using the Program # box, or MIDI program change events, the BPM will *not* restore. You have to manually click on the "Load" box in order to force the BPM to restore, even if it is not locked. I didn't expect that, but I could see how it'd be very useful. - -ken -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHIPU6e8HF+6xeOIcRAopMAKCArtmKXBZxcRSlsFzTC4bafPMq9wCeMqgI y1q17RR0/0fmdHVMY+5uQxg= =lYlB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
