[Fix 11.4.2] Problem with copy/paste Ctrl Send midi file cue

Post by rborsey » Mon Nov 09, 2015 3:02 am

Hi Mike

I was doing some reconstruction of my cue file (using the editor and not my dodgy XML programming!!) and found a problem. I created a new and very small test cue file to test it and the problem is consistently reproducible.

Using SCS 11.4.1.1
1. Create a cue file with one Control Send cue Q1 playing midi file F1
2. Save cue file, close and restart SCS.
3. In the editor, copy Q1 and paste to create Q2. Change Q2 to play midi file F2. Save the changes.
4. Exit editor and play each of the cues. Both Q1 and Q2 play midi file F2 ?!? Cue list shows that Q1 should be playing F1
5. Return to editor - Q1 still shows reference to F1; Q2 shows reference to F2.
6. Close SCS, then reopen. Now in the editor both Q1 and Q2 show references to file F2.

Audio cue copy and paste works just fine as does copy and paste of a simple Control Send midi command (eg program change).

I must admit I think I had come across this before when I was creating copies of cues for new songs and always put it down finger or brain trouble.

OK - cheers from sunny and increasingly chilly France

Richard

Thanks for the fix Mike - works just fine. Sorry for the delay - things have been a bit disturbed over here in France . .

Anyway thanks again

Cheers
Richard

Thanks, Richard. We were shocked and saddened to see the recent events on our extended TV news bulletins. Thanks for sharing the video - a great production that you 'cooked up'! Our love and prayers go out for all those affected by these events.

Sorry for the off-topic post - just thanks Mike for your good wishes. The French people and all the people from other nations in France have been very touched by the international solidarity. It is clear that what we all want is simply peace and freedom - there is a minority of xenophobes who will always stir things up and we just have to ignore their bigotry.

If anybody has the urge to listen to or use our song then you can download it in WAV format from our website www.lesfousfrogs.com/downloads/freedom.wav and there is a version with a shorter intro in the same location called freedomradiomix.wav - no charge, please just drop into our fb page https://www.facebook.com/LesFousFrogs and leave a little message.

Thanks, Richard and Viki - Les Fous Frogs

PS : you are right about 'cooked up' - we worked 36 hours non-stop to write, arrange and record the song and produce the video. There was a lot of coffee and french red wine consumed . . .
