Thanks Starship... I thought posting here would be enough. I guess I need to make a "real" problem report? I haven't done that in a while... I'll have to remember how... 😉 I have many other synths including Analog Lab Lite. My issue here was simply a patch with an arpeggio I liked for the part... I have mostly duplicated it with a few other synths to further develop the sound/part. For the moment, I froze the Synthmaster part so I needn't worry (for the moment) on this project. I still don't have one synth with an arpeggiator I actually like. I rarely use one, but... it was an accidental part discovery... 😉

Thanks fir all your work. I do appreciate it. I do use Screensets a lot.

Wow. Very detailed. Thanks. Mine is always the same. Even on different machines used over the years. I don’t use Workspaces. I leave them set at none. I don’t use the browser at all. I only use the Multidock for Console and Melodyne . I float the synth rack and open with alt-9. I close it from the upper right X (a la windows typical). I never minimize. Without fail on every project, if the Synth Rack isn’t open when saved, it will be back in the browser. Maybe there’s some setting I have inadvertently changed?

Yeah, it's free... Has lots of power... But for me, it's currently a joke to work with. Of course it doesn't allow the actual sound patch editing, I understand. It does allow toggling fx on/off etc. That could work except I'm finding it does not retain any of the changes I make. Upon next open of the project, I'm forced to manually recall the preset (at least that part works). I am about to replace it in the project I was using it in as this is not acceptable for me. If there's some way to change this behavior, I would appreciate the info but so far I've been unable to uncover any such. It's also a very difficult program to locate sounds. Even with the extensive feature set they include for doing so. I am continually overwhelmed with the huge number of arpeddiations and one-key playable grooves. Nothing wrong with having them though I don't use them, but it's hard to locate the playable sounds! OK... I've said my piece. Now to find something to replace it with...

I wonder if anyone else cares about this. I've mentioned it many times and no one seems to... Unless I leave it open and visible during a save, the synth rack always moves itself back into the browser without my doing so. Once the rack is closed it will continue to re-open properly during that same session, but once the file has been saved, the rack is back in the browser on next open. This has been this way for so long I don't remember when I started discussing it! Though a minor detail, it's a PITA to have to re-address this issue constantly. I don't want my rack in the browser. I prefer it floating.

Good luck Reid! Always battling the bureaucracy myself. We are far beyond 1984!

Congrats! Play in good health!

BTW, the photo hanging behind the young me (13) is a large photo of me with my first stringed instrument. A plastic banjo (at 2.5 yrs old) 😎🎸👽

Thanks Zo! i appreciate your joy immensely. Outside is my 12th solo album. My 13th (Hear Me Calling) is being released 11/23/22.. The first 2 were released on vinyl (1st 1985) and second on cassette (1989). The rest are all as In Exile. All (both names) are on Deep Space Records and available on all major (plus) streaming/download sites as well as original media (yup, I still have stock of my vinyl album if anyone ever is interested). Whew, that was a weird sentence. The first 2 were recorded to tape (pre digital audio) synchronized to my collection of synths playing live during mix. I used Roger Powell's MIDI sequencer program Texture. The third album (and all after) have been done with Cakewalk software. The first as sequencer only and digital audio recorded to a device of Soundscape (first company (British) who made a free standing digital audio multitrack recorded which used a Windows pc as controller. Then Cakewalk Pro Audio, Sonar, Cakewalk yes! So please enjoy! I enjoyed the making! 👽🙏🎸🎶

Thanks treesha! Yeah, yeah, yeah! It was a challenge at least. My wonderful parents supported my joy even though they didn’t feel it a good life path. They believed in me anyway. I had to take piano before they would allow guitar lessons. I went to 2 then quit and began teaching myself... until two weeks later when they signed me up for guitar lessons! They both continued to support my love of music in any ways they could for the remainder of their lives! Though they still wished I had become Dr, Lawyer, Indian Chief! 🙏👽🎸🎶

Fir me, all buttons should be in every view! buttons on tracks but not on console, etc...

Thanks Nigel! 1st round voting ends today. I don't think I'll make the finals, but wouldn't that be amazing!

Thanks fir the delivery Craig! BBQ is just getting hot! 🙏👽🎸🎶

Project Blue Book finally made public! 🙏👽🎸🎶

Thanks bitflipper! Nice to be noticed... It’s all me! 🙏👽🎸🎶

Thanks Steve! Being in “the big game” is an amazing feeling! 🙏

Thanks Grem! Let's be real. In categories with the world’s greatest current artists the likelihood of someone like me coming close to winning is highly unlikely. I don’t believe I’ll even make the finals let alone win. So simply being admitted to he game is already a milestone for me! ...but one never knows, so I do my best to enjoy the ride. At the same time as this is going on, I have a new album (Hear Me Calling) being released 11/23/22 and I’m already busy on my next new album now! 🎸

Thanks Gregy! 🙏
