Old Known Issues in XT2
2007-06-26T13:14:52+00:00
[Made a new one with Inserpiz as author so he can help with editing -Soma]
In order to make them easier to find for Jorgen and to avoid us repeating them, I will try to troll the forums and consolidate all issues and bugs here. I'll do my best to keep it up to
date.
Please let me know if any of these are bunk or have been fixed.
For issues were we haven't found the root cause yet, or information about the problem(s) is very active, I'll try to link the relevant threads. -soma

CONFIRMED BUGS
Energy XT2 VST:
=J8- Various issues listed here
Controller Map:
J15- Automation from plugins to tracks' faders only work if that track is active (highlighted, or monitor on). Perhaps this is intended but prevents Audio track faders from getting MIDI. Plugins cannot control a "Sequencer" audio track's fader but can be used to learn that mapping since they can't monitor/record midi.
J15- If you move a mapped VST to a different Mixer strip, the mappings are lost and you have those blank spots again.
J15- When I opened Classic Delay with MIDI Learn On, I get 4 Mappings without doing anything else; Classic Auto-Filter "auto maps" one knob too.
Shortcuts:
J1- Shortcuts are not saved! They revert to defaults every time you restart.
JL10- Default shortcut for Find and Freeze are the same (and Freeze will take priority)
AG10- Default for add track is mapped to Scandinavian character
Parts:
J1- Audio parts act inconsistant! A part created by dragging a sample to a track does not behave the same a part that is created by dragging a samples into a blank part. Glued parts might even be different from the rest too. Many issues and suggestions; please see link.
J1- Automation for an instrument/effect remains in part even after effect is moved or removed. If you re-add the VST, the automation will not re-apply to that VST. The information is dead data.
J15- Playing too many single sample parts in stretch mode will mute some parts every other bar (file included in link)
JL10- Volume automation is a ms or two late at begingin of clips. Creates click.
Freezing:
J15- Frozen track in a group get out of sync
Sequencer and Editor:
J1- I can't add any event to the after-touch by GUI. It does get recorded from a controller, but when you select a note, the associated AT should get highlighted. Also when you select a note, you should be able to add AT for that note for as long as the note is. The aftertouch should transpose with the note. It should probably be listed by note name in the event list, to match how notes are listed. [Poly AT is a note property, like velocity, when you select a note, the associated AT should get highlighted. Also when you select a note, you should be abvle to add AT for that note for as long as the note is.]
J1- When dragging a midi file to the sequencer, all tracks are set to CH 1 even if they were saved with other channels.
J8- Recording VST parameters (via track header) will only record to one part. [It only records into the part that the play cursor is on at the time you press record]
J8- Using a choke group in a drum sampler will create a click on choking. [Seems to be better but still getting click if I choke the kick in the 909.xtc]
J15- Selecting a sample in a multi-sample part [started by dragging a sample to a track] using the event list does not refresh the object bar.
J15- In the Drum Editor, the graphics are corrupted whenever a drum is added that does not fit in the current Drum Editor window
J15- Parts are only created for a single midi track when the record button is pressed instead of creating them whenever a track passes midi and the sequncer is in record mode. [the information gets displayed the next time you press record instead of right away]
J29- Clicking in an empty CC, Aftertouch, Channel Pressure, Pitch Wheel, or Program Change lane of a midi part in the in-track editor crashes XT2 (but only if you click in the lane right after adding it, before the lane select is closed).
JL10- Using the line tool allows you to draw into other lanes.
JL10- The popup editor always displays the grid relative to the beginning of the part, rather than the beginning of the song. Snapping uses the correct position, but quantize uses the incorrect grid position.[the inline editor grid is relative to the song]
JL10- Sequencer mixer strip for tracks routed to sends show sends for that send, including self. (But send to send functionality not working and not shown in whole mixer)
JL10- Resizing a ghost drum part from the left causes notes to be entered in the wrong place horizontally.
JL10- Ctrl+scroll wheel to scroll keyboard will cause notes that are added to be placed on wrong notes. [expecting to see vertical zoom]
AG10- Recording Volume/Pan/Mute envelopes to an audio track by dragging the value box can cause a crash.
AG10- Scrolling the in-track piano roll by dragging a selection doesn't update the keyboard display.
AG10- [Related to above] Scrolling the in-track piano roll up or down by dragging notes off the page doesn't move the notes.
AG10- Envelope points recorded from the value box always snap to a 16th note grid.
Browser:
J1- Please don't show directories or files that aren't of the folder type (VST, clip, audio folders shouldn't show .txt files etc or directories that only hold non-XT usable files.
J1- In the "settings", I can't set up a folder which have "[" in his name, so I can't assign my "[samples]" folder as my default sample folder. [These folders are accessible in the browser]
J1- Clicking on a folder other than previewed sample's parent after previewing will retrigger previewed sample.
JL10- Previewing slices in audiopool from a rx2 will repeat audio buffer.
J1- On some machines, the browser doesn't display folders in A>Z order [specifically on non-NTFS formatted partitions (in Windows)]
Saving:
J1- Cannot open *.xt from windows. Must open files from inside XT!
J1- Escaping a save dialog [where you choose a file location] by closing the window or pressing esc should return to the save Yes, no, cancel win
J8- Only changing parameters will not make XT ask you if you want to save.
J15- [Must specify file extension when] saving to folders if the path or file name contains a "."
J15- In LINUX, along with non ext3 filesystems, "ntfs" file systems mounted as "read/write" dont work either.
VST issues:
J1- Some VSTs don't display their programs in a list. (Digital Fishphones/Buzz Room for example)
J8- XT does not release memory when deleting components! (drag from .zip, erase, and try to drag from .zip again)
J15- SampleTank2 preAnalysis locks up XT2
*J15- Problematic VSTs in XT2
GUI for GUI-less plugins:
AG10- XT has very small resolution for GUI-less parameter changes (100 clicks?)
Synthesizer/Multi Effect/Classic Arp:
=J15- Ctrl+ select many synth presets, drag them to an empty midi track and you get a sampler for each .xts each with a default program and the .xts. The programs do not get the name of the .xts either. We were expecting just one synth with a named program for each .xts for easy previewing. [program names are correct for the 1st 2 dragged in a session]
Comp View Issues:
AG10- Components added from sequencer are all placed on top of one another.
Rendering:
J15- Closing a "render to track" dialog will still create a small blank .wav on a new track and in the audio pool.
J15- When you select Render, the default location is the last file you rendered, even if it was in another project. There's a big danger of mistakenly overwriting it!
J15- The "Render file" dialogue starts at C:\, you have to navigate all the way down from C:\ to get to the folder you want to use [instead of last folder used].
OTHER CRASH REPORTS AND SERIOUS ISSUES
*J1- Graphics issue (performance related)
*J15- Kubuntu issues
*J15- XT sometimes crashes on some systems if the VST is missing or broken
AG10- XT2 Crashes some systems on exit.
INCONSISTENCIES
Shortcuts:
J1- XT will let me assign the same key command to more than one action in the same functional area (tested in sequencer). XT uses the first action in the shortcut list with shortcut assigned to key. A dialog that at least tells you and prohibits or better, lets you do it and then re-assign conflicting shortcuts would be good.
J1- Please alphabetize the list of shortcuts. (And display shortcuts in main menus?)
Mixer:
J1- The default height of the sends/inserts on the mixer - just so they align which an EQ I'd rather insert piece by piece when required anyway. Makes the mixer take up so much space needlessly
Parts:
J1- Save As (for clips) always starts by highlighting C:\ in the left-hand panel of the window although it opens the first Clips folder in the list (happens in many dialogs)
JL10- Cannot copy and paste note/sample data inside parts or across parts (can only copy/paste whole parts!)
JL10- ctrl+drag copy of envelopes is lane and part limited; you cannot drag to another lane or another part.
JL10- ctrl+c/v do not copy and paste envelope data.
General Sequencer and Editors:
J1- Rearranging tracks in the sequencer is only possible by using buttons on the object bar. In a program that uses drag-n-drop so much this is inconsistent. Ctrl+up/down would fit with xt's model.
J1- I am able to edit frozen tracks, but I still hear the rendered sound (of course). Perhaps add a visual indication that the info has been updated?
J1- XT does not indicate what CC's/VST Parameters are on part/track other than the event editor. Automated params/cc's should be added to drop downs and/or have it's own tree.
J1- I can route audio out to a sequencer that feeds a component (feed back loop), when I click Record, an audio part is created containing "silent" recording; either the recording should work (with suitable precautions against feedback loops) or the routing should not be available.
J1- Right-clicking over Velocity, CC etc lane headers pops up the Context menu but the menu choices (other than Show) do nothing (Rename would be useful)
J1- "delete" (right click) a cc lane or envelope should read "hide" to avoid confusion (the events are not deleted, the lane is just removed from view).
J1- Cannot drag a CC lower than 0 to remove event.
J8- Midi Thru button does not change color in the "light" theme
J8- [All] components will have their name appear twice as "name name" in the [audio track] input select context, where "name" is what you see in the component view.
J8- A user can only use 100 values of resolution for VST parameter boxes (track header, and GUI-less plugins), while high resolution is availble using an envelope.
*J15- Recording from an "audio in" does not compensate for driver latencies. The sound in the recorded sample will be behind the beat by the amount of latency on the sound card's input.
J15- the Audio Part inline Editor Vol/Pan/Mute lanes and the MIDI Part MIDI Envelopes do not show the handles between events if the events are visually close together (<16 pixels?).
=J15- Alt+right click to slice audio only works on a non-edit mode audio track, not in the pop-up editor or an in-line edit track [for single sample clips], and not on samples.
JL10- Control change and MIDI Envelope headers are missing a Mute [M] button, a value display and a vertical value indicator that VST parameter headers have.
JL10- Dragging play loop will scroll seqeuencer tracks up.
AG10- Automation information is tied to lanes by appearance order, rather than parameter index when moved from track to track.
AG10- For Shuffle in the object bar, the 6 of "16" is cut off.
Midi Editor Window: [/i]
J1- When I add a controller view, it is not automatically displayed in the Controller Panel, the previous view remains there. Clicking on the name after selecting would be a good way to choose which to make active after adding. [please add stacked and overlay view to pop-up editors]
J29- In the event list, the "h" of Aftertouch overlaps the note number.
J29- The controller lane in the popup editor can cover up low notes. You cannot scroll any further to see them. [Scrollable area should should not be underneath lanes]
=JL10- Keyboard in pop-up midi editor doesn't refresh when scrolling vertically until you click in the editor area. [try using pgup or pgdwn to see]
Drum Tracks & Kit Screen: [/i]
J1- Drum triggers should always be at most 'snap' long in the GUI. (Currently I also can make the end of a trigger before the start of a trigger using alt+left)
J1- I can change the length of a drum hit (is this needed?). It can be changed to less than 1, and then length cannot be adjusted w/o alt+over.
J1- In the kit editor, there is no scroll bar, so I can see only the first drums (19 at most in full-screen mode) (I was using the BB Mini preset that someone (sorry, forget who) supplied to us all
J8- 8 bit samples will not play but can be dragged to drum samplers.
J15- I get graphics corruption when I add more drums than can be displayed in the Editor window
J15- On Linux samples are shown in track and drum sampler with full path (in synthesizer too).
Audio Editor: [/i]
none
VSTs
J1- Cannot drag components from OS to mixer!
J1- sometimes when you load a .fxb file the preset name is not listed in the VST GUI (until you refresh its display)
J8- loading .fxp always displays the C: drive, on the left, instead of last folder used for that VST. [Seems that in most of these dialogs, the left tree doesn't initially show the folder open on the right]
Multi-effect:
none
Synthesizer:
J1- Able to set sampler zone end key before beginning key.
J15- The "Edit all" button doesn't affect the oscillator section, the effects section, or the zone section.
J15- Sustain pedal (CC64) does not sustain synth.
J15- Ring mod introduces DC offset.
AG10- Cannot drag zone markers with mouse (must use note boxes)
Classic Arp:
AG10- Classic Arp presets (.xta) in the root Presets folder don't show up in the Presets section of the browser.
AG10- Triplet button in Classic Arp doesn't change color to show its state in the Dark look.
Browser:
J1- Can add folders in dialogs like save but not in browser or setup.
JL10- Samples from drum tracks and synths are not shown in the audiopool.
Jl10- Slices from RX2 have no file extension in the audiopool.
JL10- samples remain in audio pool even when they are no longer in song.
Setup:
=J1- Can use the tab key to change focus but cannot use [over arrows keys to [expand] [Actions/folders].
J1- Can add new folder in dialogs like save but not in the setup (or browser), especially needed in "folder"
J1- You can only see the left-hand part of long path names in the window, e.g. for Clips, all mine say C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\XT2 ho. and you can't scroll them or expand the window, to see them and deleting them is hit or miss, too
*J8- Only the first 16 midi inputs work. Inputs > 16 will be shown and can be active but will not work.
J15- You cannot select or change the audio folder's location.
Saving:
J1- Snap settings are not saved with file.
J1- XT2 does not warn when overwriting a file. [Clarification: this applies to saving fxb and fxp files, and Render to wav.]
J29- Songs are saved with their sample's locations as absolute paths instead of relative. Locations should be relative to the project's location. Ideally options to save song and sample folder to a parent folder for just that project, or to save all samples directly to the .xt would be very appreciated.
JL10- Cannot use "N"/"Y" shortcuts to answer Yes/No dialog.
Docking:
J1- When I reselect a dock page all the VSTs are displayed, even those that I have closed
Selecting:
To select multiple items ctrl+click should always be multi select and shift+click should always be range select: (please)
J1- Comp view: shift+click (should be ctrl + click)
J1- Sequencer parts: shift+click (should be ctrl + click)
J1- Midi notes: shift+click (should be ctrl + click)
J15- Browser range: missing (needs shift+click to select all between first and second click)
Controller Map:
J1- Graphic for Controller Map missing on VST editor [was click-able; isn't there any more].
J1- Solo is not map-able.
J1- You cannot map to Drum Tracks [was: can but it won't do anything]
J15- Deleting a mapped component will create empty boxes in the map.
J15- Creating a new program always gets the name "Program". Adding a number would make things clearer.
XT2 VST:
J8- XT2 VST will not use the setup global -> "start with"
JL10- XT2 VST will not remember the setup looks
JL10- qwerty only works in the XT2 vst once a sequencer is added.
FUNCTIONS IN ONE PLACE BUT NOT OTHERS:
Right click menu missing commands:
J1- mode (audio part context)
J1- pitch (audio part context) (would be helpful to show pitch offset on parts)

I'll re-organize the list as I go through it for this build. I must say though that my real life is quite full right now and it might not be until Friday. Piz, you've always been the biggest help with this so if you want to lead, I can can even restart the thread with you as the author so you can cut in and edit at will. let me know

it might be a good idea to somehow highlight the more serious issues on the list. crashes and data loss bugs should be more prominent than other things. they could be bold, or maybe in a separate section at the top...
