CONFIRMED BUGS
Crashes/Memory leaks/Dataloss Bugs:
07Nov23- Having VST versions and standalone in the same folder causes the standalone to crash when you insert the VST into it (due to shared energyXT.ini?)
=07Nov23- Project can't be saved after recording approximately 255 audio files (sometimes it's less than 255). The 255th file must be deleted from the Audio Pool before you can save. You also can't record new audio, and if you try to import some there is sometimes a crash with an "Error fh2" message.
07Dec19- Deleted plugins and drum tracks are kept in memory even when a new project is opened (non-deleted items are freed from memory in that case).
07Dec19- Zooming out all the way and then scrolling to the right (past measure 553000 or so) freezes XT2.
=07Dec19- Crash when deleting an audio part (containing a sample from the project audio folder or the temp audio folder, such as a newly recorded audio part), and then deleting the unused audio file from the pool, and then undoing it
08Mar01- When an invalid project folder path is specified in Setup, saving a new file (without specifying a full path) fails, XT2 closes, and your work is lost.
08May16- XT2 crashes, if you try to save a clip and the proposed path (retrieved from 'Setup') doesn't exist anymore.
08Jun05- Adding a sequencer and then undoing it leaves the audio out cable showing and eventually causes a crash.
*08Jul11- XT2 sometimes crashes when exporting a project to wav
*08Aug01- Crash when editing automation curves
08Aug01- Crash when muting/unmuting a part on a frozen track during playback
*08Aug18- VST version crashes Wavelab
08Aug18- Crash when recording multiple audio tracks to an external (FAT32-formatted?) hard drive
08Aug18- Crash with imported midi files and certain VSTs, when the same note ends on one track and starts on another at the same time
Other serious issues:
*07Nov23- Bad midi timing (please test!)
*07Dec21- External midi output doesn't work on some systems
*08Mar01- MIDI USB devices (or any audio/midi usb interfaces like my edirolua20) lose midi input in XT2 standalone version after some 30mins of usage
08May16- Extra midi messages are sent through external midi out. Pitch Bend of 0 is sent before every PB message, and CC #2 at a value of 0 is sent before every CC message. A note-off at D-2 is sent before every note-off.
*08May24- Audio inputs create a horrible noise with ASIO4ALL on certain hardware
General:
*07Jun01- Most open/save dialogs (fxp/fxb save/load, Clip save, Render, Looks open/save, etc.) start by highlighting C:\ in the folder tree rather than the folder that's open in the file list on the right.
07Jun01- Cannot open *.xt projects by double-clicking in Windows Explorer (energyXT2.exe "%1"). Must open files from inside XT2!
07Nov18- Right-clicking while dragging a window makes the window move strangely (click again to stop it).
07Nov23- Clicking checkboxes of midi inputs or outputs > 8 in Setup makes the listbox jump back to the top.
08Feb16- When using multiple monitors, windows always maximize to the first monitor.
*08May24- "Add VST" menus can take a long time to display.
08May24- "InnerVoices-TC" demo project has a duplicated part on the first track which causes playback problems.
08Jun05- energyXT.ini uses nonstandard line endings (CR CR LF)
08Jul11- Midi feedback loop with Maple causes a noise and corrupted graphics in the XT2 menu bar, plus high cpu usage which doesn't go away when disconnecting the feedback loop
08Aug01- XT2 windows can be moved behind the taskbar (Windows) / menu bar (Mac), where they can no longer be grabbed.
07Jun15- Latency caused by existing plugins doesn't always immediately apply PDC to new routing: With two tracks where one needs PDC, routing one track to a group causes them to be out of sync even when they're not frozen. Saving and reloading the project gets them back in sync.
Saving:
07Jun01- 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
07Jun08- Only changing parameters (including vst parameters as well as tempo and mixer volume/pan/eq) will not make XT ask you if you want to save.
07Jun15- Must specify file extension when saving if the path contains a "."
08Aug01- "Save as..." does not always move all audio files to the new audio folder
Controller Map:
07Jun15- Midi plugins cannot control a Sequencer audio track's fader/pan/eq but can be used to learn that mapping.
07Jun15- If you move a mapped insert or send effect by drag & drop, the mappings for the effect are lost and there are blank spots in the Controller Map. If you move a mixer strip in the mixer, all the mappings for that mixer channel (fader, pan, instrument and insert/send effect parameters, etc.) are gone. Undo doesn't bring the mappings back.
08May30- When mapping a send level, the parameter is only called "send" in the Controller Map, with no indication of which track or which send effect it is.
08May30- Mapping to Sends and Inserts on an audio track doesn't work.
Shortcuts:
08Mar01- To use keys that must be typed with Shift on the regular keyboard, such as + or *, you have to select "Shift" in the shortcut setup, but then you also need to press Shift to use those keys on the numpad.
Looks:
07Nov23- Textures don't work on unselected parts (Sequencer>Part).
07Dec19- No way to change Mixer Mute and Solo "Pushed" state.
08May24- Some colors can't be changed: piano keyboard, slider "track", mixer VU meter, the little triangles to expand/collapse inline editing on tracks, insert effect power button, EQ display line, mixer header backgrounds, text-editing fields, "(Modified)" text, selection rectangle, and transport buttons.
08Jun05- Render button fill/frame follows the state of the Browser button
08Nov14- Menu Bar Separator state can't be set (always "None" after save/reload)
Modular View:
07Aug10- Components added from sequencer are all placed on top of one another.
08Aug18- The modular view always scrolls back to the top-left corner by itself.
VST Hosting:
07Jun01- When you load an .fxb file the new preset name is not listed in the VST header until you refresh its display.
07Jun08- A user can only use 100 values of resolution for VST parameter boxes (track header, and GUI-less plugins), while high resolution is available using an envelope.
07Jun08- XT does not release memory when deleting components! (for undo functionality).
*07Jun15- SampleTank2 preAnalysis locks up XT2
*07Jun15- Problematic VSTs in XT2
07Dec19- Parameter changes (via automation or changing programs, for example) aren't shown in the display of a non-GUI plugin until you click on it.
08Jun05- XT2 doesn't correctly support "shell" VSTs (i.e. Waves plugins). Use shell2vst as a workaround.
08Aug18- energyXT2 doesn't report anything when the plugin calls "getHostProductString" or "getHostVendorString".
08Aug18- Vst plugins never get their destructor called if they're deleted
08Aug18- problem saving fxb
Mixer:
07Nov18- Using ctrl-mousewheel to move faders is upside-down (wheel-down moves the fader up and vice-versa)
08Feb01- VU meters don't move while recording
08Mar01- No clipping indicator on meters
08Jun30- "Repeat" (should be called "Duplicate"?) in the mixer menu adds a new mixer program with the default settings (all boxes checked)
Browser:
07Jun01- Clicking on a folder triangle (other than previewed sample's parent) after previewing a sample will retrigger the selected sample.
*07Jul10- Previewing slices in audiopool from a rx2 will repeat audio buffer.
07Nov23- It's no longer possible to rename or remove top-level plugin folders from the browser. The right-click menu is blank. You can still rename them by editing energyXT.ini.
Arpeggiator:
07Dec19- Arpeggiator changes all notes passing through it to channel 1.
08Jun05- Arpeggiator doesn't respond to "All Notes Off" (CC 123) and will continue playing forever if it receives a stuck note.
Synthesizer:
08May24- When controling 'osc FB' or 'modulation FB' with midi the waveform of the osc disapears.
08May30- Synthesizer always starts with 32 presets, which is the maximum, so you can't add any more unless you delete some.
08Jul11- On the MIDI tab of the synthesizer, scrolling the CC list with the mouse wheel doesn't move the scrollbar.
08Jul11- Release curvature on envelopes doesn't seem to do anything.
Multi Effect:
*08May30- On some systems, adjustment of the Guitar amp and selection of "Dirty" (or adjusting "Bass" on the Clean channel?) sends the dB meter crazy and completely kills the audio engine.
Sequencer:
07Jul10- The popup editor always displays the grid relative to the beginning of the part, rather than the beginning of the song. Snapping uses the song position, but quantize uses the part grid position.
07Jul10- 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)
07Jul10- Dragging play loop will scroll sequencer tracks up if any parts are showing.
08Nov14- The menu says "Undo Delete" when it should say "Undo Reverse"
08Nov14- When reversing a whole audio part rather than a highlighted section, the start and end points are not maintained correctly in cases where the part is smaller than the whole file (such as after resizing or splitting a part).
07Nov18- When the sequencer isn't maximized, the Input and Output menus in the object bar still appear where they would if it were maximized.
07Nov23- Monitor/Midi Thru button states are reversed. They use the "Pushed" state when monitoring is off.
=07Nov23- Some graphics can hang out the bottom of the track (piano roll octave number, track output names, drum track waveforms, etc)
07Nov23- XT2 doesn't send the right time signature in VstTimeInfo
07Dec21- "Bar" snap is always 4 quarter notes, regardless of time signature
08Mar01- Horizontal scrollbar acts really weird
08Mar01- Timeline in popup editor never changes after opening the editor once, until you open the editor for a different part.
*08May24- Sometimes the loop, or playposition done in the editor is placed at the begining of the main timeline, even though the part was never at the beginning.
08May30- Loop button shows the wrong state when loading projects saved with looping turned off in older XT2 versions (before the loop button was in the main transport).
Freeze:
*07Jun15- Frozen and/or grouped tracks get out of sync (example projects): Make two tracks routed to different Synthesizer comps, put SIR as an insert on one, and freeze the other one. The frozen one plays early. Apparently frozen tracks do not use PDC.
Render/Bounce:
07Jun15- Canceling a "bounce to audio track" dialog will still create a small blank .wav on a new track and in the audio pool.
07Jun15- 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].
08Jan18- "Bounce to audio track": Selection of WAV/AIF doesn't do anything (always renders wav)
08Jan18- Insert effects on frozen tracks are not applied when rendering
08Feb01- Volume is reduced when rendering to mono
08May24- None of the settings in the Bounce dialog are remembered next time you bounce.
08Jul11- Unused (disconnected) outputs of multi-out plugins are treated as "tracks" for Multi-track export. A blank audio file is created for each unused output.
Midi Tracks:
07Jun01- When dragging a midi file to the sequencer, all tracks are set to CH 1 even if they were saved with other channels.
=07Jun15- MIDI is only recorded to tracks that were selected when recording was started. In other words, it's not good to change track selection while recording. [the information gets displayed the next time you press record instead of right away (sometimes?)]
07Jul10- Using the line tool on Pitch Wheel allows you to draw into other lanes, and the bars go out of bounds.
07Jul10- Ctrl+scroll wheel to scroll keyboard will cause notes that are added to be placed on wrong notes. [expecting to see vertical zoom]
07Jul10- Vertical scrollbar in pop-up midi editor doesn't refresh when scrolling vertically with pgup/pgdown, until you click in the editor area.
07Aug10- Scrolling the in-track piano roll up or down by dragging notes off the page doesn't move the notes.
07Nov18- Recorded midi is transformed to the track's channel (M.Ch), but events entered with the mouse are always set to channel 1.
08May16- For CCs mapped in the Controller Map, the original CC is passed on again to the VST when the midi signal passes through the sequencer
08Jun05- When a midi track is routed to two or more components, and the last one doesn't have an audio output, the mixer strip shows the name of the last component but the controls of a different one.
Drum Tracks / Drum Sampler:
*07Jun08- 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]
07Jul10- Resizing a ghost drum part from the left causes notes to be entered in the wrong place horizontally.
08Mar01- Multiple drum lanes with the same sample (but different filter settings, etc) are merged to one lane when saving an xtc clip
08May16- Samples added by drag & drop to the drum sampler window do not immediately show up in the track header. Also, selecting another sample in the drum header does not refresh the display of the drum sampler window.
08May16- Drum insert effects only last the length of the sample (i.e. no tail on reverb)
08May24- Docked drum sampler GUI doesn't resize correctly when opening/closing the effects strip
Audio Tracks:
07Jun01- Audio parts act inconsistent! 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. Many issues and suggestions; please see link!
07Jun01- Shortening a single-sample part (of a different sample rate than XT's sample rate) by dragging the left edge in Normal mode moves the sample slightly.
07Jun01- Coarse pitch for samples inside multi-sample parts is always displayed as 0 when you select the sample, even if you've changed it earlier.
07Jun01- Samples inside multi-sample parts are always treated as complete events. They can't be resized, and they always play in full even after the end of the part.
=07Jun01- If you adjust the pitch of a normal-mode single-sample part and then split it, it splits in the wrong place, and the resulting parts overlap. If you select a section of the part and normalize it (or delete, trim, fade in/out, etc) this also applies to the wrong section of the part.
07Jun15- Playing too many single sample parts in stretch mode will mute some parts every other bar (file included in link)
08May24- Corrupted display of detailed waveform of AIFF files
Envelopes:
07Jun01- 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.
07Jun08- Recording VST parameters will only record to one part. [It only records into the part that the play cursor is on at the time you press record]
07Jul10- Volume automation is a ms or two late at beginning of clips. Creates click.
07Aug10- Envelope points recorded from the value box/mixer/VST GUI always snap to a 16th note grid.
07Nov18- Envelopes aren't saved in .xtc clips.
07Nov18- If you resize a part to the left, envelope points can't be moved past the original start point of the part, until you create a new point to the left.
*07Nov23- Envelope weirdness
*08Feb01- Envelopes can send values outside of range (CCs over 127, etc). (Only when "Buffer size" in audio setup is not a power of 2?)
08Mar01- Can't record more than one parameter at a time from VST GUI (for XY pads)
08Mar01- If you highlight node curves over multiple lanes and you try to edit them (drag to new position whatever), all lanes seem to respond, but as soon as you finish the action only one lane actually keeps the changes.
08Mar01- Envelope segments play past the end of a part (until the next envelope point)
08Aug18- Recording automation from a VSTi's GUI doesn't work unless the VST is added from within the sequencer
08Nov14- Recording automation from a the GUI of an insert effect doesn't work
XT2 VST:
*07Jun08- Various issues listed here (other than the crashes listed at the top of this thread, do any of these problems still exist?)
07Jul10- The VST version doesn't always have keyboard focus when it should.
*07Nov23- Controller Map window disappears when using multiple XT2 VSTs in Ableton Live and Renoise
*08Feb16- XT2 VST doesn't work with Sonar's "X-Ray" functionality
08Feb16- VST version doesn't show the "XT" menu until you dock something or click on the "Modular" tab
08Mar01- VST version doesn't report latency to host
*08Mar01- VST version Doesn't work in Max/MSP
08Jun05- Drum Sampler added from the quick add track button doesn't use the factory samples.
08Jun05- When syncing to Renoise, the loop marker is always on the first bar only, and when playing outside of the first bar, XT2's sound is messed up.
Linux-specific issues: (More detail here)
07Jun15- In LINUX, "ntfs" file systems mounted as "read/write" don't work. You can't browse into any directories. (fixed in newer versions of ntfs-3g)
07Jun15- Other non-ext3fs filesystems don't work either (XFS, ReiserFS, etc.)
07Nov23- Linux version treats some RGB values in .xtl files as BGR (Window close/min/max buttons, and Synthesizer wave/fader)
*07Nov23- Realtime-patched 2.6.21 or 2.6.22 kernels don't work with XT2. 2.6.20 is okay. 2.6.24 is okay?
07Nov23- Minimize button doesn't work (you may be able to minimize through the window manager)
07Nov23- On some systems, maximized windows appear behind Gnome/fluxbox/etc panel along the bottom of the screen
=07Nov23- Synthesizer "Edit all" button looks weird (text overlaps power button)
08Feb16- No external midi out (workaround: use Drumfix's midiout.so VST)
*08Mar01- Doesn't work at all in Ubuntu 8.04 on some systems with Intel graphics (something about MIT-SHM extensions)
*08May16- Waveforms aren't always displayed
*08May24- Drum Editor has display issues/glitches when switching to and from pad view.
*08Jun05- Ubuntu 8.04 visual effects stop XT2 dropdown menus from working
OSX-specific issues:
=07Nov18- Ctrl-click doesn't function as right click. (Command-click does instead)
07Nov23- Save prompt appears twice when using the close button
08Feb01- Minimize button doesn't work
=08Mar01- Drag & drop midi files from the browser (or from VSTs like EZDrummer) doesn't work on PPC macs
08Mar01- Some VSTs (Native Instruments stuff, etc) don't work on PPC macs
=08Jun05- Loading .xtl files saved with the Windows version causes XT2 to crash (or is all messed up) on PPC (& intel?) macs
08Jun05- Choosing M-Audio MobilePre USB as input device causes a kernel panic
08Aug01- Crash with dialog boxes in OS X (10.5.4)
INCONSISTENCIES
General:
08Mar01- Pageup/Pagedown works in dropdown menus but not in "normal" menus
08May16- All top-level VST folders are combined into one list in the "add VST" menus
08Aug01- PDC doesn't apply in some cases:
1. Routing two signals, where one needs PDC, to a Group (or other component) causes them to be out of sync.
2. Wet/dry on insert effects does not use PDC (dry signal isn't delayed).
Saving:
07Jun01- Snap settings are not saved.
07Jun29- 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.
07Jul10- Cannot use "Y"/"N" shortcuts to answer Yes/No dialog (there's no way to choose "No" using the keyboard).
07Nov23- Many open/save dialogs start at C:\ instead of remembering the last used folder
Controller Map:
07Jun01- Solo is not map-able.
07Jun15- Deleting a mapped component will create empty boxes in the map.
07Jun15- Creating a new program always gets the name "Program". Adding a number would make things clearer.
07Jun15- 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.
08May30- Default size of the Controller Map window is too small for the "bpm" CC selector.
Shortcuts:
07Jun01- 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.
07Jun01- Please alphabetize the list of shortcuts. (And display shortcuts in main menus?)
07Jul10- Default shortcut for Find and Freeze are the same (and Freeze will take priority)
Looks:
07Nov18- No option for Speedbutton mouseover text; undo/redo buttons should be their own distinct type.
Modular View:
08May30- Can't tell the difference between mono and stereo pins.
VST Hosting:
07Jun01- Some VSTs (Digital Fishphones/Buzz Room for example) don't display their programs in the dropdown list. This means the plugin doesn't implement getProgramNameIndexed(), and this should ideally be fixed in the plugin.
08May24- "kVstTransportRecording" flag isn't set in VstTimeInfo when XT2 is recording
08May30- VST GUI window doesn't have a bottom border.
08May30- SynthEdit plugins with more than two inputs show all their inputs as mono (limitation of SynthEdit?)
Mixer:
07Jun01- Cannot drag VSTs from OS to mixer (as send/insert effect)
07Jun15- Creating a new program always gets the name "Program". Adding a number would make things clearer.
08May30- Can't use multichannel effects as inserts/sends. Only the first input and output are used.
Browser:
07Jun01- Can add folders in dialogs like save but not in the Disks section of the browser.
07Jul10- Samples from drum tracks and synths are not shown in the audiopool.
07Jul10- Slices from RX2 have no file extension in the audiopool.
07Dec19- "Delete" in the audio pool is always available for files in the temp or project audio folder, but it only deletes newly-recorded files (they aren't deleted from disk if the project has been saved since the files were recorded)
07Dec19- Cannot Remove multiple (selected with ctrl-click) unused files from the audio pool at once
08May16- No preview for mp3 files
08May16- Drag & drop from the browser to a VST window doesn't work
08Jun05- Can't drag samples from audio pool to drum track
Synthesizer:
07Jun01- Able to set sampler zone end key before beginning key.
07Jun15- 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. We were expecting just one synth with a named program for each .xts for easy previewing.
=07Jun15- The "Edit all" button doesn't affect the oscillator section, the FX section, or the zone section.
07Jun15- Sustain pedal (CC64) does not sustain synth.
07Jun15- Ring mod introduces DC offset.
07Jun15- Creating a new program always gets the name "Program". Adding a number would make things clearer.
07Aug10- Cannot drag zone markers with mouse (must use note boxes)
07Nov18- Synthesizer (along with Multi-Effect and Classic Arp) don't use the Controller Map, and GUI movements can't be recorded as envelopes.
08May24- Synthesizer doesn't respond to midi program change.
08Aug18- "Org.Key" (for sample sounds) shows note number instead of note name
Sequencer:
07Jun01- Rearranging tracks in the sequencer is not possible by drag & drop. In a program that uses drag-n-drop so much this is inconsistent.
07Jun01- 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?
07Jun01- 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.
07Jun01- Right-clicking over Velocity, CC etc lane headers pops up the Context menu but the menu choices (other than Show and Delete) do nothing (Rename would be useful).
07Jun08- [All] components will have their name appear twice as "name name" in the input select context, where "name" is what you see in the component view.
07Jun15- Creating a new program always gets the name "Program". Adding a number would make things clearer.
07Jul10- Cannot copy and paste (with ctrl-c/ctrl-v) note/sample/envelope data inside parts or across parts (can only copy/paste whole parts!)
07Nov18- Middle click sets the play cursor position in the sequencer arrange window, but not in the popup editors.
08Jan15- Next Beat & Prior Beat shortcuts don't work in the popup editor
08Jan18- Metronome is always in quarter notes, regardless of time signature
08May16- Can't add folder tracks from right click menu (when not clicking on an existing track)
08May24- Sequencer mixer strip only shows one output (and you can't choose which one) even though the track can be routed to multiple destinations, or to a component with multiple outputs.
08Jun30- Cut (ctrl-x) removes a track, but you can't paste a track
08Jul11- With overlapping parts, the resize-arrows appear for the edge of the part underneath (but you can only resize the top part from there)
Midi Tracks & Popup Editor:
07Jun01- Can't add aftertouch events by GUI. When you select a note, the associated AT should get highlighted, and you should be able to add AT for that note. Selected aftertouch should transpose with the associated note.
07Jun01- Aftertouch should probably be listed by note name in the event list, to match how notes are listed.
07Jun01- When I add a controller view in the popup editor, 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.
07Jun01- please add stacked and overlay view to pop-up editors.
07Jun01- XT does not indicate what CC's are on part/track other than in the event list. Automated CC's should be added to drop downs and/or have it's own tree.
07Jun01- "Delete" (right click) a CC lane should read "Hide" to avoid confusion (the events are not deleted, the lane is just removed from view).
07Jun29- In the event list, the "h" of Aftertouch overlaps the note number.
07Jul10- 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.
08May24- Object bar "Program" selector only applies to the first connected plugin.
=08May30- Copying MIDI/drum parts with ctrl-c doesn't work when the track is in inline editing mode. (As of June 30th beta, selected notes are copied, but when no notes are selected the whole part still isn't copied)
08Aug18- Changing a note's velocity with Alt-click doesn't change the color until mouseup
Drum Tracks & Kit Editor:
07Jun01- Length of a drum hit can be changed to less than 1, using the arrow buttons in the object bar, or alt-left/right.
07Jun08- 8 bit samples will not play but can be dragged to drum samplers.
07Nov23- Drum tracks don't have a Monitor/MIDI thru button
07Nov23- Drum sampler doesn't have an M.Ch (input channel) setting. It responds to all channels.
08Mar01- Drum track can't load AIFF files by drag & drop (have to use "Add..." from the menu in the right-hand pane)
08Mar01- No popup editor for drum grid
08Mar01- Can't right-click-drag to scroll up & down
08Mar01- Can't alt-drag to adjust selected parameter while inserting a drum hit
08May16- Can't automate drum inserts & sends
Audio Tracks & Popup Editor:
07Jun01- Multi-sample parts can't be stretched as a whole (moving all samples' positions relative to the part length).
*07Jun15- 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.
07Jun15- Alt+right click to slice audio only works on the header of single-event parts (for inline editing). You can't split a single-event part in the popup editor.
08May16- Fade slopes can be longer than the audio part
08May16- In multi-sample audio parts, the fades cover up the sample names
08May24- Single-sample and multi-sample parts behave differently when resizing them from the left. For single-sample parts, the audio moves; for multi-sample parts, it doesn't.
08May30- Cannot create ghost parts of single-sample audio parts.
08Jul11- Crossfade (Shift-X) doesn't work on slices within multi-sample parts
08Jul11- Fade in/out times aren't stretched with the sample in some cases
Envelopes:
07Jun15- Envelopes do not show the handles between points if the points are horizontally close together (<16 pixels?), but you can still adjust the curvature.
07Jul10- ctrl+drag copy of envelopes is lane and part limited; you cannot drag to another lane or another part.
07Aug10- Automation information is tied to lanes by appearance order, rather than parameter index when moved from track to track.
08May30- When splitting a part in the middle of an automation line, the line disappears (should create new points on either side of the split?).
08May30- When recording envelopes from the GUI, the starting value is not recorded. Ideally, a point should be inserted at the current value as soon as you click on a control.
08Jun30- Copy/Paste (ctrl-c/ctrl-v) doesn't work on envelopes and CC events. Cut (ctrl-x) removes them, but you can't paste them.
Rendering:
=07Jun01- XT2 does not warn when overwriting files while rendering with "Export Project".
=08Jan18- If you press the 'x' (close button) in the render window while already rendering, the whole track (resp. the part between the locators) is nevertheless rendered completely. It should do the same as pressing 'Cancel' in the dialog.
Setup:
07Jun15- You cannot change the Project Audio folder's location once it's been chosen (except by saving the project to a different location).
08Jul11-
Docking:
07Jun01- 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):
07Jun01- Comp view: multi-select is shift+click (should be ctrl+click)
07Jun01- Sequencer parts: multi-select is shift+click (should be ctrl+click)
07Jun01- Midi notes: multi-select is shift+click (should be ctrl+click)
07Jun15- Browser: range select is missing (should be shift+click to select all between first and second click)
XT2 VST:
07Jun08- XT2 VST will not use the setup global -> "start with"
07Nov23- No VST versions for Linux & OS X
07Nov23- In external sync mode, the view jumps to the cursor on host playback even when autoscroll is off.
08Mar01- VST version doesn't follow host tempo unless there is a sequencer in the project.

So it will be fixed in XT2.5! YEY!
P.S: Post was written manually.
Crashes/Memory leaks/Dataloss Bugs:
07Nov23- Having VST versions and standalone in the same folder causes the standalone to crash when you insert the VST into it (due to shared energyXT.ini?)
=07Nov23- Project can't be saved after recording approximately 255 audio files (sometimes it's less than 255). The 255th file must be deleted from the Audio Pool before you can save. You also can't record new audio, and if you try to import some there is sometimes a crash with an "Error fh2" message.
07Dec19- Deleted plugins and drum tracks are kept in memory even when a new project is opened (non-deleted items are freed from memory in that case).
07Dec19- Zooming out all the way and then scrolling to the right (past measure 553000 or so) freezes XT2.
=07Dec19- Crash when deleting an audio part (containing a sample from the project audio folder or the temp audio folder, such as a newly recorded audio part), and then deleting the unused audio file from the pool, and then undoing it
08Mar01- When an invalid project folder path is specified in Setup, saving a new file (without specifying a full path) fails, XT2 closes, and your work is lost.
08May16- XT2 crashes, if you try to save a clip and the proposed path (retrieved from 'Setup') doesn't exist anymore.
08Jun05- Adding a sequencer and then undoing it leaves the audio out cable showing and eventually causes a crash.
*08Jul11- XT2 sometimes crashes when exporting a project to wav
*08Aug01- Crash when editing automation curves
08Aug01- Crash when muting/unmuting a part on a frozen track during playback
*08Aug18- VST version crashes Wavelab
08Aug18- Crash when recording multiple audio tracks to an external (FAT32-formatted?) hard drive
08Aug18- Crash with imported midi files and certain VSTs, when the same note ends on one track and starts on another at the same time
Other serious issues:
*07Nov23- Bad midi timing (please test!)
*07Dec21- External midi output doesn't work on some systems
*08Mar01- MIDI USB devices (or any audio/midi usb interfaces like my edirolua20) lose midi input in XT2 standalone version after some 30mins of usage
08May16- Extra midi messages are sent through external midi out. Pitch Bend of 0 is sent before every PB message, and CC #2 at a value of 0 is sent before every CC message. A note-off at D-2 is sent before every note-off.
*08May24- Audio inputs create a horrible noise with ASIO4ALL on certain hardware
General:
*07Jun01- Most open/save dialogs (fxp/fxb save/load, Clip save, Render, Looks open/save, etc.) start by highlighting C:\ in the folder tree rather than the folder that's open in the file list on the right.
07Jun01- Cannot open *.xt projects by double-clicking in Windows Explorer (energyXT2.exe "%1"). Must open files from inside XT2!
07Nov18- Right-clicking while dragging a window makes the window move strangely (click again to stop it).
07Nov23- Clicking checkboxes of midi inputs or outputs > 8 in Setup makes the listbox jump back to the top.
08Feb16- When using multiple monitors, windows always maximize to the first monitor.
*08May24- "Add VST" menus can take a long time to display.
08May24- "InnerVoices-TC" demo project has a duplicated part on the first track which causes playback problems.
08Jun05- energyXT.ini uses nonstandard line endings (CR CR LF)
08Jul11- Midi feedback loop with Maple causes a noise and corrupted graphics in the XT2 menu bar, plus high cpu usage which doesn't go away when disconnecting the feedback loop
08Aug01- XT2 windows can be moved behind the taskbar (Windows) / menu bar (Mac), where they can no longer be grabbed.
07Jun15- Latency caused by existing plugins doesn't always immediately apply PDC to new routing: With two tracks where one needs PDC, routing one track to a group causes them to be out of sync even when they're not frozen. Saving and reloading the project gets them back in sync.
Saving:
07Jun01- 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
07Jun08- Only changing parameters (including vst parameters as well as tempo and mixer volume/pan/eq) will not make XT ask you if you want to save.
07Jun15- Must specify file extension when saving if the path contains a "."
08Aug01- "Save as..." does not always move all audio files to the new audio folder
Controller Map:
07Jun15- Midi plugins cannot control a Sequencer audio track's fader/pan/eq but can be used to learn that mapping.
07Jun15- If you move a mapped insert or send effect by drag & drop, the mappings for the effect are lost and there are blank spots in the Controller Map. If you move a mixer strip in the mixer, all the mappings for that mixer channel (fader, pan, instrument and insert/send effect parameters, etc.) are gone. Undo doesn't bring the mappings back.
08May30- When mapping a send level, the parameter is only called "send" in the Controller Map, with no indication of which track or which send effect it is.
08May30- Mapping to Sends and Inserts on an audio track doesn't work.
Shortcuts:
08Mar01- To use keys that must be typed with Shift on the regular keyboard, such as + or *, you have to select "Shift" in the shortcut setup, but then you also need to press Shift to use those keys on the numpad.
Looks:
07Nov23- Textures don't work on unselected parts (Sequencer>Part).
07Dec19- No way to change Mixer Mute and Solo "Pushed" state.
08May24- Some colors can't be changed: piano keyboard, slider "track", mixer VU meter, the little triangles to expand/collapse inline editing on tracks, insert effect power button, EQ display line, mixer header backgrounds, text-editing fields, "(Modified)" text, selection rectangle, and transport buttons.
08Jun05- Render button fill/frame follows the state of the Browser button
08Nov14- Menu Bar Separator state can't be set (always "None" after save/reload)
Modular View:
07Aug10- Components added from sequencer are all placed on top of one another.
08Aug18- The modular view always scrolls back to the top-left corner by itself.
VST Hosting:
07Jun01- When you load an .fxb file the new preset name is not listed in the VST header until you refresh its display.
07Jun08- A user can only use 100 values of resolution for VST parameter boxes (track header, and GUI-less plugins), while high resolution is available using an envelope.
07Jun08- XT does not release memory when deleting components! (for undo functionality).
*07Jun15- SampleTank2 preAnalysis locks up XT2
*07Jun15- Problematic VSTs in XT2
07Dec19- Parameter changes (via automation or changing programs, for example) aren't shown in the display of a non-GUI plugin until you click on it.
08Jun05- XT2 doesn't correctly support "shell" VSTs (i.e. Waves plugins). Use shell2vst as a workaround.
08Aug18- energyXT2 doesn't report anything when the plugin calls "getHostProductString" or "getHostVendorString".
08Aug18- Vst plugins never get their destructor called if they're deleted
08Aug18- problem saving fxb
Mixer:
07Nov18- Using ctrl-mousewheel to move faders is upside-down (wheel-down moves the fader up and vice-versa)
08Feb01- VU meters don't move while recording
08Mar01- No clipping indicator on meters
08Jun30- "Repeat" (should be called "Duplicate"?) in the mixer menu adds a new mixer program with the default settings (all boxes checked)
Browser:
07Jun01- Clicking on a folder triangle (other than previewed sample's parent) after previewing a sample will retrigger the selected sample.
*07Jul10- Previewing slices in audiopool from a rx2 will repeat audio buffer.
07Nov23- It's no longer possible to rename or remove top-level plugin folders from the browser. The right-click menu is blank. You can still rename them by editing energyXT.ini.
Arpeggiator:
07Dec19- Arpeggiator changes all notes passing through it to channel 1.
08Jun05- Arpeggiator doesn't respond to "All Notes Off" (CC 123) and will continue playing forever if it receives a stuck note.
Synthesizer:
08May24- When controling 'osc FB' or 'modulation FB' with midi the waveform of the osc disapears.
08May30- Synthesizer always starts with 32 presets, which is the maximum, so you can't add any more unless you delete some.
08Jul11- On the MIDI tab of the synthesizer, scrolling the CC list with the mouse wheel doesn't move the scrollbar.
08Jul11- Release curvature on envelopes doesn't seem to do anything.
Multi Effect:
*08May30- On some systems, adjustment of the Guitar amp and selection of "Dirty" (or adjusting "Bass" on the Clean channel?) sends the dB meter crazy and completely kills the audio engine.
Sequencer:
07Jul10- The popup editor always displays the grid relative to the beginning of the part, rather than the beginning of the song. Snapping uses the song position, but quantize uses the part grid position.
07Jul10- 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)
07Jul10- Dragging play loop will scroll sequencer tracks up if any parts are showing.
08Nov14- The menu says "Undo Delete" when it should say "Undo Reverse"
08Nov14- When reversing a whole audio part rather than a highlighted section, the start and end points are not maintained correctly in cases where the part is smaller than the whole file (such as after resizing or splitting a part).
07Nov18- When the sequencer isn't maximized, the Input and Output menus in the object bar still appear where they would if it were maximized.
07Nov23- Monitor/Midi Thru button states are reversed. They use the "Pushed" state when monitoring is off.
=07Nov23- Some graphics can hang out the bottom of the track (piano roll octave number, track output names, drum track waveforms, etc)
07Nov23- XT2 doesn't send the right time signature in VstTimeInfo
07Dec21- "Bar" snap is always 4 quarter notes, regardless of time signature
08Mar01- Horizontal scrollbar acts really weird
08Mar01- Timeline in popup editor never changes after opening the editor once, until you open the editor for a different part.
*08May24- Sometimes the loop, or playposition done in the editor is placed at the begining of the main timeline, even though the part was never at the beginning.
08May30- Loop button shows the wrong state when loading projects saved with looping turned off in older XT2 versions (before the loop button was in the main transport).
Freeze:
*07Jun15- Frozen and/or grouped tracks get out of sync (example projects): Make two tracks routed to different Synthesizer comps, put SIR as an insert on one, and freeze the other one. The frozen one plays early. Apparently frozen tracks do not use PDC.
Render/Bounce:
07Jun15- Canceling a "bounce to audio track" dialog will still create a small blank .wav on a new track and in the audio pool.
07Jun15- 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].
08Jan18- "Bounce to audio track": Selection of WAV/AIF doesn't do anything (always renders wav)
08Jan18- Insert effects on frozen tracks are not applied when rendering
08Feb01- Volume is reduced when rendering to mono
08May24- None of the settings in the Bounce dialog are remembered next time you bounce.
08Jul11- Unused (disconnected) outputs of multi-out plugins are treated as "tracks" for Multi-track export. A blank audio file is created for each unused output.
Midi Tracks:
07Jun01- When dragging a midi file to the sequencer, all tracks are set to CH 1 even if they were saved with other channels.
=07Jun15- MIDI is only recorded to tracks that were selected when recording was started. In other words, it's not good to change track selection while recording. [the information gets displayed the next time you press record instead of right away (sometimes?)]
07Jul10- Using the line tool on Pitch Wheel allows you to draw into other lanes, and the bars go out of bounds.
07Jul10- Ctrl+scroll wheel to scroll keyboard will cause notes that are added to be placed on wrong notes. [expecting to see vertical zoom]
07Jul10- Vertical scrollbar in pop-up midi editor doesn't refresh when scrolling vertically with pgup/pgdown, until you click in the editor area.
07Aug10- Scrolling the in-track piano roll up or down by dragging notes off the page doesn't move the notes.
07Nov18- Recorded midi is transformed to the track's channel (M.Ch), but events entered with the mouse are always set to channel 1.
08May16- For CCs mapped in the Controller Map, the original CC is passed on again to the VST when the midi signal passes through the sequencer
08Jun05- When a midi track is routed to two or more components, and the last one doesn't have an audio output, the mixer strip shows the name of the last component but the controls of a different one.
Drum Tracks / Drum Sampler:
*07Jun08- 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]
07Jul10- Resizing a ghost drum part from the left causes notes to be entered in the wrong place horizontally.
08Mar01- Multiple drum lanes with the same sample (but different filter settings, etc) are merged to one lane when saving an xtc clip
08May16- Samples added by drag & drop to the drum sampler window do not immediately show up in the track header. Also, selecting another sample in the drum header does not refresh the display of the drum sampler window.
08May16- Drum insert effects only last the length of the sample (i.e. no tail on reverb)
08May24- Docked drum sampler GUI doesn't resize correctly when opening/closing the effects strip
Audio Tracks:
07Jun01- Audio parts act inconsistent! 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. Many issues and suggestions; please see link!
07Jun01- Shortening a single-sample part (of a different sample rate than XT's sample rate) by dragging the left edge in Normal mode moves the sample slightly.
07Jun01- Coarse pitch for samples inside multi-sample parts is always displayed as 0 when you select the sample, even if you've changed it earlier.
07Jun01- Samples inside multi-sample parts are always treated as complete events. They can't be resized, and they always play in full even after the end of the part.
=07Jun01- If you adjust the pitch of a normal-mode single-sample part and then split it, it splits in the wrong place, and the resulting parts overlap. If you select a section of the part and normalize it (or delete, trim, fade in/out, etc) this also applies to the wrong section of the part.
07Jun15- Playing too many single sample parts in stretch mode will mute some parts every other bar (file included in link)
08May24- Corrupted display of detailed waveform of AIFF files
Envelopes:
07Jun01- 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.
07Jun08- Recording VST parameters will only record to one part. [It only records into the part that the play cursor is on at the time you press record]
07Jul10- Volume automation is a ms or two late at beginning of clips. Creates click.
07Aug10- Envelope points recorded from the value box/mixer/VST GUI always snap to a 16th note grid.
07Nov18- Envelopes aren't saved in .xtc clips.
07Nov18- If you resize a part to the left, envelope points can't be moved past the original start point of the part, until you create a new point to the left.
*07Nov23- Envelope weirdness
*08Feb01- Envelopes can send values outside of range (CCs over 127, etc). (Only when "Buffer size" in audio setup is not a power of 2?)
08Mar01- Can't record more than one parameter at a time from VST GUI (for XY pads)
08Mar01- If you highlight node curves over multiple lanes and you try to edit them (drag to new position whatever), all lanes seem to respond, but as soon as you finish the action only one lane actually keeps the changes.
08Mar01- Envelope segments play past the end of a part (until the next envelope point)
08Aug18- Recording automation from a VSTi's GUI doesn't work unless the VST is added from within the sequencer
08Nov14- Recording automation from a the GUI of an insert effect doesn't work
XT2 VST:
*07Jun08- Various issues listed here (other than the crashes listed at the top of this thread, do any of these problems still exist?)
07Jul10- The VST version doesn't always have keyboard focus when it should.
*07Nov23- Controller Map window disappears when using multiple XT2 VSTs in Ableton Live and Renoise
*08Feb16- XT2 VST doesn't work with Sonar's "X-Ray" functionality
08Feb16- VST version doesn't show the "XT" menu until you dock something or click on the "Modular" tab
08Mar01- VST version doesn't report latency to host
*08Mar01- VST version Doesn't work in Max/MSP
08Jun05- Drum Sampler added from the quick add track button doesn't use the factory samples.
08Jun05- When syncing to Renoise, the loop marker is always on the first bar only, and when playing outside of the first bar, XT2's sound is messed up.
Linux-specific issues: (More detail here)
07Jun15- In LINUX, "ntfs" file systems mounted as "read/write" don't work. You can't browse into any directories. (fixed in newer versions of ntfs-3g)
07Jun15- Other non-ext3fs filesystems don't work either (XFS, ReiserFS, etc.)
07Nov23- Linux version treats some RGB values in .xtl files as BGR (Window close/min/max buttons, and Synthesizer wave/fader)
*07Nov23- Realtime-patched 2.6.21 or 2.6.22 kernels don't work with XT2. 2.6.20 is okay. 2.6.24 is okay?
07Nov23- Minimize button doesn't work (you may be able to minimize through the window manager)
07Nov23- On some systems, maximized windows appear behind Gnome/fluxbox/etc panel along the bottom of the screen
=07Nov23- Synthesizer "Edit all" button looks weird (text overlaps power button)
08Feb16- No external midi out (workaround: use Drumfix's midiout.so VST)
*08Mar01- Doesn't work at all in Ubuntu 8.04 on some systems with Intel graphics (something about MIT-SHM extensions)
*08May16- Waveforms aren't always displayed
*08May24- Drum Editor has display issues/glitches when switching to and from pad view.
*08Jun05- Ubuntu 8.04 visual effects stop XT2 dropdown menus from working
OSX-specific issues:
=07Nov18- Ctrl-click doesn't function as right click. (Command-click does instead)
07Nov23- Save prompt appears twice when using the close button
08Feb01- Minimize button doesn't work
=08Mar01- Drag & drop midi files from the browser (or from VSTs like EZDrummer) doesn't work on PPC macs
08Mar01- Some VSTs (Native Instruments stuff, etc) don't work on PPC macs
=08Jun05- Loading .xtl files saved with the Windows version causes XT2 to crash (or is all messed up) on PPC (& intel?) macs
08Jun05- Choosing M-Audio MobilePre USB as input device causes a kernel panic
08Aug01- Crash with dialog boxes in OS X (10.5.4)
INCONSISTENCIES
General:
08Mar01- Pageup/Pagedown works in dropdown menus but not in "normal" menus
08May16- All top-level VST folders are combined into one list in the "add VST" menus
08Aug01- PDC doesn't apply in some cases:
1. Routing two signals, where one needs PDC, to a Group (or other component) causes them to be out of sync.
2. Wet/dry on insert effects does not use PDC (dry signal isn't delayed).
Saving:
07Jun01- Snap settings are not saved.
07Jun29- 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.
07Jul10- Cannot use "Y"/"N" shortcuts to answer Yes/No dialog (there's no way to choose "No" using the keyboard).
07Nov23- Many open/save dialogs start at C:\ instead of remembering the last used folder
Controller Map:
07Jun01- Solo is not map-able.
07Jun15- Deleting a mapped component will create empty boxes in the map.
07Jun15- Creating a new program always gets the name "Program". Adding a number would make things clearer.
07Jun15- 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.
08May30- Default size of the Controller Map window is too small for the "bpm" CC selector.
Shortcuts:
07Jun01- 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.
07Jun01- Please alphabetize the list of shortcuts. (And display shortcuts in main menus?)
07Jul10- Default shortcut for Find and Freeze are the same (and Freeze will take priority)
Looks:
07Nov18- No option for Speedbutton mouseover text; undo/redo buttons should be their own distinct type.
Modular View:
08May30- Can't tell the difference between mono and stereo pins.
VST Hosting:
07Jun01- Some VSTs (Digital Fishphones/Buzz Room for example) don't display their programs in the dropdown list. This means the plugin doesn't implement getProgramNameIndexed(), and this should ideally be fixed in the plugin.
08May24- "kVstTransportRecording" flag isn't set in VstTimeInfo when XT2 is recording
08May30- VST GUI window doesn't have a bottom border.
08May30- SynthEdit plugins with more than two inputs show all their inputs as mono (limitation of SynthEdit?)
Mixer:
07Jun01- Cannot drag VSTs from OS to mixer (as send/insert effect)
07Jun15- Creating a new program always gets the name "Program". Adding a number would make things clearer.
08May30- Can't use multichannel effects as inserts/sends. Only the first input and output are used.
Browser:
07Jun01- Can add folders in dialogs like save but not in the Disks section of the browser.
07Jul10- Samples from drum tracks and synths are not shown in the audiopool.
07Jul10- Slices from RX2 have no file extension in the audiopool.
07Dec19- "Delete" in the audio pool is always available for files in the temp or project audio folder, but it only deletes newly-recorded files (they aren't deleted from disk if the project has been saved since the files were recorded)
07Dec19- Cannot Remove multiple (selected with ctrl-click) unused files from the audio pool at once
08May16- No preview for mp3 files
08May16- Drag & drop from the browser to a VST window doesn't work
08Jun05- Can't drag samples from audio pool to drum track
Synthesizer:
07Jun01- Able to set sampler zone end key before beginning key.
07Jun15- 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. We were expecting just one synth with a named program for each .xts for easy previewing.
=07Jun15- The "Edit all" button doesn't affect the oscillator section, the FX section, or the zone section.
07Jun15- Sustain pedal (CC64) does not sustain synth.
07Jun15- Ring mod introduces DC offset.
07Jun15- Creating a new program always gets the name "Program". Adding a number would make things clearer.
07Aug10- Cannot drag zone markers with mouse (must use note boxes)
07Nov18- Synthesizer (along with Multi-Effect and Classic Arp) don't use the Controller Map, and GUI movements can't be recorded as envelopes.
08May24- Synthesizer doesn't respond to midi program change.
08Aug18- "Org.Key" (for sample sounds) shows note number instead of note name
Sequencer:
07Jun01- Rearranging tracks in the sequencer is not possible by drag & drop. In a program that uses drag-n-drop so much this is inconsistent.
07Jun01- 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?
07Jun01- 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.
07Jun01- Right-clicking over Velocity, CC etc lane headers pops up the Context menu but the menu choices (other than Show and Delete) do nothing (Rename would be useful).
07Jun08- [All] components will have their name appear twice as "name name" in the input select context, where "name" is what you see in the component view.
07Jun15- Creating a new program always gets the name "Program". Adding a number would make things clearer.
07Jul10- Cannot copy and paste (with ctrl-c/ctrl-v) note/sample/envelope data inside parts or across parts (can only copy/paste whole parts!)
07Nov18- Middle click sets the play cursor position in the sequencer arrange window, but not in the popup editors.
08Jan15- Next Beat & Prior Beat shortcuts don't work in the popup editor
08Jan18- Metronome is always in quarter notes, regardless of time signature
08May16- Can't add folder tracks from right click menu (when not clicking on an existing track)
08May24- Sequencer mixer strip only shows one output (and you can't choose which one) even though the track can be routed to multiple destinations, or to a component with multiple outputs.
08Jun30- Cut (ctrl-x) removes a track, but you can't paste a track
08Jul11- With overlapping parts, the resize-arrows appear for the edge of the part underneath (but you can only resize the top part from there)
Midi Tracks & Popup Editor:
07Jun01- Can't add aftertouch events by GUI. When you select a note, the associated AT should get highlighted, and you should be able to add AT for that note. Selected aftertouch should transpose with the associated note.
07Jun01- Aftertouch should probably be listed by note name in the event list, to match how notes are listed.
07Jun01- When I add a controller view in the popup editor, 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.
07Jun01- please add stacked and overlay view to pop-up editors.
07Jun01- XT does not indicate what CC's are on part/track other than in the event list. Automated CC's should be added to drop downs and/or have it's own tree.
07Jun01- "Delete" (right click) a CC lane should read "Hide" to avoid confusion (the events are not deleted, the lane is just removed from view).
07Jun29- In the event list, the "h" of Aftertouch overlaps the note number.
07Jul10- 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.
08May24- Object bar "Program" selector only applies to the first connected plugin.
=08May30- Copying MIDI/drum parts with ctrl-c doesn't work when the track is in inline editing mode. (As of June 30th beta, selected notes are copied, but when no notes are selected the whole part still isn't copied)
08Aug18- Changing a note's velocity with Alt-click doesn't change the color until mouseup
Drum Tracks & Kit Editor:
07Jun01- Length of a drum hit can be changed to less than 1, using the arrow buttons in the object bar, or alt-left/right.
07Jun08- 8 bit samples will not play but can be dragged to drum samplers.
07Nov23- Drum tracks don't have a Monitor/MIDI thru button
07Nov23- Drum sampler doesn't have an M.Ch (input channel) setting. It responds to all channels.
08Mar01- Drum track can't load AIFF files by drag & drop (have to use "Add..." from the menu in the right-hand pane)
08Mar01- No popup editor for drum grid
08Mar01- Can't right-click-drag to scroll up & down
08Mar01- Can't alt-drag to adjust selected parameter while inserting a drum hit
08May16- Can't automate drum inserts & sends
Audio Tracks & Popup Editor:
07Jun01- Multi-sample parts can't be stretched as a whole (moving all samples' positions relative to the part length).
*07Jun15- 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.
07Jun15- Alt+right click to slice audio only works on the header of single-event parts (for inline editing). You can't split a single-event part in the popup editor.
08May16- Fade slopes can be longer than the audio part
08May16- In multi-sample audio parts, the fades cover up the sample names
08May24- Single-sample and multi-sample parts behave differently when resizing them from the left. For single-sample parts, the audio moves; for multi-sample parts, it doesn't.
08May30- Cannot create ghost parts of single-sample audio parts.
08Jul11- Crossfade (Shift-X) doesn't work on slices within multi-sample parts
08Jul11- Fade in/out times aren't stretched with the sample in some cases
Envelopes:
07Jun15- Envelopes do not show the handles between points if the points are horizontally close together (<16 pixels?), but you can still adjust the curvature.
07Jul10- ctrl+drag copy of envelopes is lane and part limited; you cannot drag to another lane or another part.
07Aug10- Automation information is tied to lanes by appearance order, rather than parameter index when moved from track to track.
08May30- When splitting a part in the middle of an automation line, the line disappears (should create new points on either side of the split?).
08May30- When recording envelopes from the GUI, the starting value is not recorded. Ideally, a point should be inserted at the current value as soon as you click on a control.
08Jun30- Copy/Paste (ctrl-c/ctrl-v) doesn't work on envelopes and CC events. Cut (ctrl-x) removes them, but you can't paste them.
Rendering:
=07Jun01- XT2 does not warn when overwriting files while rendering with "Export Project".
=08Jan18- If you press the 'x' (close button) in the render window while already rendering, the whole track (resp. the part between the locators) is nevertheless rendered completely. It should do the same as pressing 'Cancel' in the dialog.
Setup:
07Jun15- You cannot change the Project Audio folder's location once it's been chosen (except by saving the project to a different location).
08Jul11-
Docking:
07Jun01- 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):
07Jun01- Comp view: multi-select is shift+click (should be ctrl+click)
07Jun01- Sequencer parts: multi-select is shift+click (should be ctrl+click)
07Jun01- Midi notes: multi-select is shift+click (should be ctrl+click)
07Jun15- Browser: range select is missing (should be shift+click to select all between first and second click)
XT2 VST:
07Jun08- XT2 VST will not use the setup global -> "start with"
07Nov23- No VST versions for Linux & OS X
07Nov23- In external sync mode, the view jumps to the cursor on host playback even when autoscroll is off.
08Mar01- VST version doesn't follow host tempo unless there is a sequencer in the project.
FUNCTIONS IN ONE PLACE BUT NOT OTHERS:
Right click menu missing commands:
07Jun01- Resample mode (audio part context)

Thanks for mirroring that bug list here because going to the official thread is too difficult.

Actually that bug list is mostly irrelevant as 2.5 is in fact to be an update of 1.41.

well ext 1.41 needed a real engine overhaul, please remember the way it was coded was a big limitation in implementing new features (remember the tentacle sequencer, anyone?), and the development was stopped be the initial design. so far, I really don't want to jump back at this place.

Yeah - as much as I liked aspects of XT1's sequencer (multi-mode, live and more), I do think it was a good idea to start with a redesign of the sequencer itself as has been done in XT2.silicon/silicium wrote:well ext 1.41 needed a real engine overhaul, please remember the way it was coded was a big limitation in implementing new features (remember the tentacle sequencer, anyone?), and the development was stopped be the initial design. so far, I really don't want to jump back at this place.
Of course, that isn't addressing some of the lacks like the modular audio parts, midi parts etc. etc.. and I do appreciate those POVs too.

Yeah if development had continued with 1.4 it would have taken forever and ended up horribly unstable.
(Just kidding of course, I realise it had hit an impasse of sorts where it was unmaintainable and unextendable, or at least that's how the developer(s) felt which in the end is what counts.)

I'm looking forward to Jan. 15th. I had actually made predictions that ext2 would be ready for mass consumption in Spring 2008, but hey, I was wrong. Nonetheless, I haven't touched xt1 in a long time. Hope Jan. 15th brings stability and consistency more than anything (features can wait).
