Hi,
While spending quite a number of hours doing mindnumbingly tedious clicking, I was contemplating what could be done to improve VIPro somewhat more. Here's what I was doing.
I had made a new preset for dimension strings, violins 1. Using ViPro and the nifty ctrl+alt+w trick described elsewhere, I changed VI_P1_ into VI_P2, all good and saving a lot of time*, but the humanise presets (curves, delays, etc) stays the same. As one might expect, I suppose. So, I go, for the other 7 violins, x matrices, and y cells, change them all into a different preset (because otherwise, the randomness will be the same 12 sequence randomness for each violin, mainly making the whole orchestra sound wonky rather than natural). Given x is 3, y is 15, I was getting rather fed up by the time I had done this 315 times. But then I noticed it's actually 7 violins, x matrices, y cells and z slots. And I gave up.
So, the request is: can a feature like "apply change over all matrices/cells/slots" be implemented somehow? My favourite way would be by being able to select multiple cells in a matrix and affect the same parameter over all slots within that matrix. Some software does this by only showing the value of the parameter if it is equal across instances.
Sorry about the rant, thanks for listening. I like MirX by the way (trial), though I dread implementing that across all my VE presets...
Best,
M.
* Notice this works, but not necessarily to VC_P1, even if the patches are named accordingly. There seems to be some sort of bug by which the register of VI will be applied to VC, so no sound is coming out of the lower register. In fact, even if you at that point reload the patch from VC_P1_RE_, this still doesn't change. However, if you load VC_P1_C_ into it, it does. I know the ctrl+alt+w thing isn't supported, so it doesn't constitute as a bug, but thought I should mention it anyway.
