Hello andy,
I am very sorry to see how many problems you got with this update.
:oops:
About presets and the way they are saved :
Each preset is saved in a single file, completely independant of the host sequencer you're using. When you select a preset, this file is read and COPIED inside the host sequencer.
There was actually a problem with the 1.2 update published on 11/27/03; this version was not able to read the old 1.1 preset files. But we fixed rapidly this bug and published a new update file on 11/28/03.
The presets are common to all of the instances of the MMV (or CS-80V) you are using, whatever the host sequencer. When you edit AND save a preset,
- every existing and unmodified instance of the MMV will be playing the older preset.
- every new instance of the MMV using that preset or every existing instance that re-selects that preset will be playing the modified preset (actually the preset file is read and copied once again).
==> ADVICE
So all of the titles you have done before updating MMV must give you the same sound after updating, provided you DO NOT CHANGE anything in your project. But of course, if, after updating, you re-select presets or add and replace instances of MMV, you loose all of the modifications you have done before.
I hope this will help you.
Best regards
Xavier
