MSF : Pitch-Bend Range

[ystmrk]

Can Pitch-Bend Range be locked when changing GlobalPreset or Device ?

Just lock the padlock next to the parameter name, by clicking it.

Lock switch makes the parameter locked or unlocked, so that it isn't changed when browsing devices or using randomization.

Please note that the actual value of the Easy screen parameter is kept (think of it as a percentage value), NOT the displayed textual value, so it may not work as first expected if the parameters in the devices do not have the same ranges. For example, if the parameter is a gain in with the range -10dB to +10dB and you set the value to +6dB, lock it, then switch to a different preset, which has the gain range -20dB to +20dB, the new value will be +12dB. This feature is based on the assumption that the presets should be somewhat compatible, meaning that if the lock is enabled for a certain parameter, the presets work in a similar way even if the units are actually different. In this case you will see the numeric displayed value (and parameter name) change but the parameter graphic (knob, slider etc.) will not move.

Please note that the locked values are stored in the selected device in memory and in the host project file, but are not stored in the plug-in's devices file. Some devices do not have lock switches for all the parameters; the actual lock state for such parameters will be whatever it was before that preset was loaded. For example, it if were locked in the previous device then it will be locked in the current one, even though no lock switch is displayed. You can unlock this parameter in the Global Lock feature, in Edit mode.

For more information please check the Global Lock feature, which is available from the Edit screen / Utilities panel.

Thanks DarkStar !!

I can't found the padlock button.
However, the parameters could be locked using the lock of the Utility panel.

My screenshot is of the Easy screen. But as you said it can be done from the Global Lock feature, which is available from the Edit screen / Utilities panel.

Thanks !!
I misunderstood the edit lock function as the local lock function for that preset or device.
( Modulators in Utility worked locally, so I thought Lock was the same. )

Odd problem here (could be user error)

But loading up an active preset and enabling the PB lock (+2) when changing to next preset "all locks are turned on". I simply want to lock the pitch bend to all presets, any idea ?

That's happening for me too since Beta 15.00n(I think). I thought it was just because I'm using Linux, but looks like it's a more common issue.

Edit: Just wanted to add that I noticed this in MTurboReverb, so it's not just MSF.

Cheers for confirmation;-)

Sounds like a bug to me ... let Vojtech know, using the Contact form.

[topaz]

Yep, emailed him.
