Tracktion Software

I'm having lots of problems with Tracktion. With any vsti's, I have this problem...

1. Select a preset from my VSTi.
2. Record a track with that preset.
3. Play back track - defaults to preset 64 regardless of what I used...

Why is it doing this? Any help is very much appreciated.

I'm guessing you've recorded a program change in there (maybe your MIDI controller sends them without you realising?)

Try selecting the MIDI clip -> Insert Program Change -> Remove all prgram change messages from this clip

maybe it is the midi controller... anyway, that worked! thanks

I'm having the same problem with my NI komplete plugs (FM7, Absynth, Pro53), using a nord electro as my controller. The plugs always go back to preset no. 72.

It's pretty annoying, I have to set a program change for the entire midi clip each time I record a midi track.

What's strange is that I never experienced similar problems on any other sequencer, it seems to me to be tracktion issue. There ought to be a midi filter which could be set to ignore all program change data.

I'm on a mac, by the way. Maybe it's platform spesific?

Some sequencers I have used default to filtering out program change messages from the MIDI input, so perhaps that's why you haven't experienced it before?

Probably your keyboard is sending prg changes.. any way you can disable that?

If you can't disable program changes at your keyboard, you can use MIDI-OX to filter them out.

I was having the same problem with the NI Komplete modules you list. I solved the problem by "removing all program changes in the clip" in the insert program change button. Now I dont use my midi controller for that much, so I dont know what other negative ramifications that could have.

Me too, very frustrating - I use Tracktion and always get a default of preset 12 with some NI products.

The other night I created a new preset in the totally gorgeous Absynth3, hit Play on tracktion, the preset jumped to preset 12 and my new preset was lost, gone forever - didn't even appear in the Edit list....

Problem solved!

Actually, my problem was with the midi input itself. When I selected the midi input box I was using (assigned to a VSTi track) i discovered that the program change was fixed to 72. I can't ever recall having fiddled with this setting, and I didn't have that problem before I installed Komplete.

You should check your midi input setting too pete.

BTW, why would anybody fix a midi input (regardless of the track it's assigned to) to a spesific program change?
