Tone2 Electra3 / Re: Loading Patches into different layers

« Last post by Markus Krause on Today at 07:16:29 AM »

The correct path for custom patches should look like this:
../ElectraX_sounds/MyGreatSounds/MyGreatPatch.fxp

Ya, i went and tried every folder and registry option i could look up, to no avail.
However like last time I reinstalled and it worked perfectly.
I was wondering. Should I be putting my own folders of my own patches in the ElectraX_sounds folder?
Could this have caused the glitch? 
What do I know?  lol

It seems like the path where the temporary fxp file for the layer is stored is write protected. Make sure that your vstplugins directory and all subdirectories (or the place where you installed Electra3) has the proper read and write permissions set in Windows.

Apart from this I recommend that you upgrade your OS to Windows 10 or higher. Windows 8 is deprecated and not longer supported by Microsoft. It does not longer get security patches.

Best regards,

Tone2 Electra3 / Loading Patches into different layers

« Last post by Dumtek on May 08, 2024, 04:38:23 PM »

Sorry to be a pest again Markus but......
I keep getting the message prompt..."File write error. File is write protected, opened by another application or the path does not exist"
Then is actually goes to the folder where the files are, but it loads to the desired synth engine (lets say 3) as well as synth 1 both. And then at times erases the other layers.

At one point it did this and i reinstalled and it worked fine again for a while but then returned to this odd behaviour.
Am I doing something wrong?
Windows 8.1
Electra 3.2.1

No. You don't have to worry about this at all. The patches used in songs are stored within the song file. You can move your patches to another directory witout any trouble.

Yes, this is for my own patches. I made a lot of Rayblaster patches years ago in one big folder before (I think) the current preset browser existed.

If I move my patches into new smaller folders, could this impact older songs that use them? In other words, might the DAW have any references to a preset's original folder location?  I'm using StudioOne on Win10.

Thanks.

Hello Franz,

all preset browsers of the latest versions of our plugins have a scrollbar for the CATEGORY on the left.
There is no second scrollbar for the patches. This is intended. The idea behind this is that you are able to reach every preset of a category without having to click and scroll. Apart from this we need to deal with limitations of Midi compatibility for program change (<128 values) and MacOS menus (no native OS support for multirow menus).

If you need more space for your own presets simply create a new subdirectory in RayBlaster_sounds and restart the plugin.
The correct path looks like .../RayBlaster_sounds/MyGreatSounds/MyGreatPatch.fxp.

Best Regards,
Markus

RayBlaster / preset browser lacks a scroll bar (Rayblaster & Icarus 3)

Hi Marcus,

When I have so many presets in a folder that they don't fit on one screen, I can't reach them from the preset browser (unless there is a method I am missing.)  A scroll bar in the browser would address this issue.

I have the latest version of Rayblaster and Icarus 3.0 and it looks like they both have this issue as they probably share preset browser code.

Regards,
Frantz
