Good day fine lads of LMMS,
I've been running into some problems with the ZynAddSubFX plugin. I know that it is quite a new plugin and is far from done in developmental terms, but I feel like my problem could be solved if only I knew where to look. The following is the case: when I export a song with ZynAddSubFX plugins, the instruments reset to the original instrument chosen when the plugin was first activated. That means, if I choose for example an instrument from the presets that came along with LMMS - say a cello - all my changes will be lost on the moment I choose to export; LMMS reverts the instrument to the cello and exports using that instrument. If I instantiate the ZynAddSubFX plugin without a preset instrument, exporting results in a blank ZynAddSubFX again.
The sad thing is, I made this utterly briiiliant song but my CPU can't take the heat of playing all plugins at once - so I wanted to hear it play smoothly in an exported file. No such luck though.
It seems to me that all would work if I could only convince LMMS to use the ZynAdd settings I saved (both to parameters and to instrument) - not just when I load them and play the song, but also during export. One way I can think of right now is to save my instrument in the presets directory and have it show up in LMMS, so I can instantiate ZynAddSubFX directly with my instrument and thus have it export correctly. I'll report how that works out..
Meanwhile, all suggestions are very welcome, and many thanks to all developers!
