Loading a previously made SGU file and using FL Studio 20.1, Windows 10 and the plugin. Highlighting all chords by holding left mouse button and dragging over all chords then pressing Ctrl+C on my keyboard crashes FL Studio 20.1.

I picked the feel, tempo, timesig, etc.. Then I selected a style, played it and decided to look at another style. The feel, tempo, timesig, etc. were gone. I had to redo this again. Can you please fix this so I don't have to refill the fields each time?
Also, the first style I selected, drums didn't generate. So, I selected a RealDrum. Generated it and it puts it in the list as pedal steel and nothing is generated. This was happening with the build 606. I tired this numerous times. Always the same.
And I'm using VST3.

I’m having similar issues. I tried to generate a new track in the plugin and it failed. So I opened the file in BiaB and tried, while I can generate the track I can’t drag and drop anymore it will drag, but not drop.

I look at it this way. His is a very big upgrade, and a really cool step forward. If it takes a few days and some patience I am willing to work with it. For a while. Yesterday’s patch fixed a couple issues. Hopefully the next will fix more. So far it works well enough to get some things done.

Hi I'm new here... First Post:  Running Sonar X3 Professional on Win 7 Pro with no apparent problems. I bought the 2019 mainly for the VST DAW Plugin. Although with latest patch: 607 So far it's still a NO GO Now with the latest patch it does show up in the Cakewalk plugin manager as a VST3i When I drag it into a track, it comes up with a screen saying: It is likely this plugin is incompatible with Sonar. Any suggestions?

Even if he did I would be happy cause a Matt minus is better than some folks plus. I’m just pullin his leg. Which on its own merit is a bit weird

I'm sure many of us would have a more positive attitude if we could ever get it working...lol I've yet to see anyone bashing anything that is working for them. I got really positive, trashed the plug-in, and got back to work.

Hi Charlie,
Highlighting all chords by holding left mouse button and dragging over all chords then pressing Ctrl+C ...
...Then I selected a style, played it and decided to look at another style. The feel, tempo, timesig, etc. were gone...
We will look into this. I'm running FL Studio here, and I'm not experiencing either of these problems, so there is something more to this. Verify that you have the latest version of the plugin. Check in the About dialog that it says 1.7.11. Note that in FL Studio, you might have to re-scan plugins.

Andrew, yes, the plugin is at v 1.7.11. Have you upgraded to FL Studio 20.1?
And I have rescanned. I'm using VST 3. Thanks.

Pleasantly surprised that the Reaper's transport now starts the VSTi3 plugin's transport.
However, it doesn't follow the Time Selection within Reaper nor can I auto repeat the song within the plugin when it comes to the end.
Is there a way?

We've tested the Vst3 with Cakewalk by BandLab 2018.11 build 25 , and that is working fine. We're making videos this week of using the VST3 with various DAWS. So far it works for all of them in our testing.
Have Fun!

Glad the VST3 is working for you in Reaper. Its been working fine in our tests too.
Regarding your questions:
- Auto repeat within the plugin. That's not implemeneted yet, but is a good suggestion. We assumed that people would be dragging the tracks to the DAW, but being able to play them and loop them within the plugin sounds fine to me. We'll add that one to the list.
- To get the DAW and the plugin to be in sync, make sure the tempo in your DAW project is the same as the plugin. Assume the DAW tempo is 120. You open the plugin and then the plugin tempo would be 120. That's great, as the plugin uses the DAW tempo. Now you select a style in the plugin where the tempo is 85. That will set the plugin to tempo of 85, different from the DAW 120. So if you play that, it won't be in sync, and you should change the DAW tempo to 85, or change the plugin tempo to 120.
Have Fun!
