For some time now Zyn has not been showing the PadSynth status. I wasn't overly concerned about that until I tried to implement a new enhanced version that identifies AddSynth and SubSynth as well. Some of the time it was working and sometimes it wasn't. I eventually discovered that re-saving the entries that failed made them work correctly.
A detailed look at the actual files revealed a malformed header. There was a </INFORMATION> with no opening <INFORMATION> and the padsynth command was missing as well. Thinking we'd made a mistake somewhere in the past causing people to save these errors, I went through old Yoshi versions, but we were good right back to V 0.036! I then tried recent versions of Zyn, and there, I'm sad to say was the problem. The upshot is that only instruments saved by Zyn before V 2.4.3, and *all* files saved by Yoshi are correct. I have a workaround for this, but in means Yoshi startup takes about twice as long. However it will do a full check and if you resave the instrument (or parameter set) the info will be stored correctly. As a bonus, the AddSynth and SubSynth status is also stored in this header, so next time it is scanned it will do so very quickly. PadSynth is as before. AddSynth has dark red text. SubSynth has slightly small and italicised text. Combinations of all of these are immediately obvious. Anyway, I have a few questions for you all. First can you run the latest master version, look at the instrument banks and tell me if you like what you see? If not how would you like it changed? Would you like the main display to also show the current selected part in the same way? Also, would you like some form of warning about this error situation and/or an attempt to fix it? Do you find the increased startup time acceptable? -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
