Hi Lennard,
Thanks for implementing the knob pickup mode in the 2.2 version! Unfortunately, knob-pickup doesn't work anymore after switching presets. I'm using Ableton Live 7. How to reproduce:
- Assign hardware controller to f.i. Cutoff
- Turn the hardware knob. Sylenth1 only responds when the current value has been reached. Knob pickup!
- Change preset
- Now move the knob again. Sylenth switches immediately to the current value of the hardware knob, as in the previous version!
Could you please look into this?
Regards
Jan
Knob pickup mode not functioning properly

That's not a bug, it's implemented like this on purpose. Let's say you created a track where one knob is controlled via midi cc values. You made some kind of gating effect with it, so the midi value jumps from 0 to 127 and back.
When you load this track the synth receives a program change, but you want it to follow the steep direct jumps from 0 to 127 that were recorded in your track.
There's simply no way to combine that with a midi cc value pickup. If value pickup would be active, it would not follow the value jumps in your track.
*EDIT* Actually a better example is where the knob position is at 100% after the program change and the recorded midi CC is between 0 and 50% of its value. The knob is then never picked up because the midi value never comes close to 100%, so the song will not play back correctly.

Ok, I already thought that was the case. I use Sylenth on stage however, so there are no recorded valuejumps then. But I do switch presets, and tweak the cutoff knob a lot...
Is it possible to implement this (pure knob pickup) as an optional setting? It would make Sylenth1 a lot more powerful to me!

Yes that would be possible as an optional setting, I'll see what I can do.
