Same methods work in Cubase 10.5.

The key is that only one preset must be shown in the preset filter list.

Too bad this does not work in Cakewalk/Sonar.

ok.

I now have a work around.

One must be sure that in Studio One, that only one preset is listed in the presets window after a search otherwise it will jump to the top preset.

The correct patch will play repeatedly.

I bounced to audio and then imported back  into Cakewalk.

Whew!

At least I can  make it do what I want it too now.

I too have Studio One R4.

But it too exhibits the same jumping patch when played as the other DAWS.

I set "Double Autoharp" as patch; hit play; patch jumps to Plain "Autoharp."

I set "80s Disco Funk" as patch; hit play; patch humps to "1963SemiAcoutic Short."

Thanks for the responses. Neither response led to any changes.

Out of curiosity, I loaded it into Cubase and have the same problem.

Must be in the program or the version of the program or in the presets themselves.

I guess I just must move on and let go of the synth. 

I know Camel Audio's Alchemy is a dead program for PC, but I still love it sounds and used it on many older tracks.

This is my problem, I pick a preset/patch for instance: "Double Autoharp".

I check in the event viewer and the MIDI track has no patches on it.

I start the track and either I get no sound or "Autoharp-Binaural" (another listed patch in the browser).

If I look in the Synth Rack, the "Double Autoharp" patch is selected, but no sound.

If I select it again while playing, it turns on or sometimes switches and turn on to "Autoharp-Binaural".

I have tried bouncing the track to audio, freezing the track and recording the track live to an audio track.

But still get nothing, or the wrong patch, or miss the start of the track because i must manually choose the patch again.

I have gone into prefs and I have Zero controller..., MIDI  chase on play..., and Include Note Events checked.

I have tried various versions of checked and unchecked these three choices with no differences to the problem.

Going into the patch browser only one patch is listed: "Autoharp-Binaural" most of the time.

I have tried changing the controller normal, controller 32 etc.

On a fresh insertion of Alchemy, the patch browser only lists "1963SemiAcoustic Short" as the only available Patch.

No other synth has this problem.  I know it is probably in Alchemy and it is a lost cause.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the synth with no differences.

When you reinstall, and load it the first time it goes through some sort of check for patches like Dimension Pro used to go through with the refresh key.

Any advice, suggestions?

Please advise.
