Hi there, I'm new to these forums so apologies if I'm doing something wrong.
I just cracked open LMMS for the first time in about a year, having updated to 1.1.3. First thing I do is open ZynAddSubFX to find something nice to play around with, but found a couple of issues almost immediately. I closed the program and reopened it, restarted my laptop.. the same problems are there.
So, here's what happens. I click on the 'Click here to load an instrument' button, have a look down the list and choose something. It seems like it doesn't matter what I choose but in this example I'll use 'olivers-100'. The first problem is once I click on it, there's nothing there. I'll attach a screenshot to show you if I can [attachment 1]. This problem is solved quite easily - if I click in that gap where there shouldn't be just a gap, it loads up what's meant to be there. (I click down in the bottom right so I don't blindly select one of the instruments that I can't see.) So while that's not too much of an issue, it shouldn't really be happening and I'm not sure why it is.
Anyway, issue number two. It's a bit difficult to show you this one with screenshots, but essentially it won't let me add any effects once I've chosen an instrument. I'll attach a screenshot to show you the settings [attachment 3] just in case I'm doing something wrong, but they're all set to channel 1, and in the past I didn't have to change anything else - just click effect type>reverb (or whatever) and then it would sound different when I press the notes. But not any more, and again I don't know why. I tried just exiting that and putting some notes into the piano roll, but the effects still aren't there.
If I'm doing something wrong somewhere then I apologise, but something must have changed that I didn't know about - I'm just doing the same thing that used to always work for me.
I'm sure you can appreciate this is the kind of thing that just makes you think 'ah whatever' and just close the program. But anyway, thanks for reading, hopefully someone can help.

Edit - having problems with uploading the screenshots too, isn't that fantastic. File is too large until I reduce it massively, and then there's an error picture in the status box when it finally uploads. Sorry about that.
