FM8 preset saving is broken

[BDeep]

^^^^ yep, I missed that we were talking about the easy page. They're just macro controls for other envelopes, you would indeed need to apply those changes before saving. The sliders reset then, but their values are reflected in the other envelopes (from the operators).

I think that if You save a Factory preset, You have to use " Save as" First time.

You definitely need to use "Save as" for factory content- the factory location's write protected.

ew

Yeah but it's nothing to do with that. It seems to be just the easy page and XY, whatever position the knobs and sliders are in they reset to 0 as soon as I hit save. And they also do this in some programmes if you automate those params (as you can see from the reaper forum thread)

I confirm that with Reaper; this is a long standing bug never addressed

Sounds like it's a feature not a bug as such but its behaviour is certainly counter intuitive and definitely has a detrimental effect when automated in hosts like reaper and Cubase.

That's weird behaviour - it means you can't visually see what you have adjusted or by how much. Plus it causes all sorts of problems with automation of those params in some hosts (Reaper and Cubase at least).

messes up saving variations in Kore as well

I ran into that long ago. Your best change to save a Kore variation in FM8 is by doing it once. It you save variation B and then go to C and save as variation C, it's no longer variation C.
