vst moved to MultiDock do no stay there on project save and project reload

[David Thiel]

I'm using multiple instances of SoundPaint and PhasePlant.  I move them to the Multidock.  Save and Close the project.  On opening the project they are not in the Multidock.

Unlike Kontakt or Opus which can minimize 16 instruments with one click, on project Open I have to minimize each instrument instance in order to see the track and multidock views underneath them.

am I missing a step to persist my intention?

as an aside I'm using Sonar now.  I'm fine with a subscription if it means consistent support/development.  As a longtime Cakewalk user (Dos 3.1) I was upset with the Gibson fiasco.  Hopefully this will promote Sonar into a DAW that is supported by vendors like Kronos and others who currently do not support issues that crop up if the DAW is Cakewalk.

Make sure you are not using a Workspace. If you are create a new one and save it before closing

workspace?  This must be something outside of Sonar?  Sonar help search 'workspace' returns nothing.

No, they are internal to Sonar

Search for Workspaces not workspace. Best recommendations is to set it to none as noted by Bristol Jonesey.

Hi David,

Make sure that the Screenset under which your are moving the VSTis into the Multidock is not locked.  (Then save the project after the move.)

Kind regards,

that was it.   Thank you.

This refers to a different issue. Screensets.  Screenset performance makes them not useful and if I inadvertently input a number key 1-9,0 then I have to wait for the screenset to take effect.  So, just now I had a brainstorm: "Just unlink the key bindings".  Whoops, nope these seems to be 'baked in'.  At least the latency in "Keyboard Shortcuts" is tolerable.

I mistakenly locked down keyset one hoping that would defeat the hotkey.  That was my mistake.
