Right click on the MIDI piano part > Specific DXi/VSTi Synth for MIDI track > Forte DXi plugin

...I just changed all of the Synth 1 (Forte) to "NONE" and there's no problem.
I emailed Coyote [Email]info@....[/Email] I don't have Norm's email so couldn't contact him directly.

...I redid the 2 songs using the VSC DXi _*THE PROBLEM DID NOT OCCUR.*_

I think Norm may have a problem. Forte is not releasing.



This is getting tricky. You know how we all will say to someone who has a problem that they need to post exactly what they did especially what boxes or whatever they checked? This is the first time you specified you added the synth in this way by using the "<Specific DXi/VSTi Synth for MIDI track > This is different from what I was describing. I always use multiple synths like Forte, Sampletank, Garritan etc. Therefore, I always right click below the track name and click on the port. That opens up the port list. Click on the next available port and it opens up the DXI/VSTi list. This assigns that synth to that port only. Frankly, I don't know what the difference is but "<Specific DXi/VSTi Synth for MIDI track > opens up a different window and seems to act a little differently. I'm very busy at work right now so I'm only making suggestions and observations, don't have time to mess around with 20 or more songs to test. I'm not necessarily saying this is adding to the problem because I don't know, I'm just saying it's different and you need to be very precise in describing a problem.

Another point is it doesn't seem to be a real problem anymore beyond maybe PG adding a FAQ about it. You can now remove the synth and jukebox the songs, right? For me and i suspect the vast majority of users, I may open at the most 4 or 5 songs in one session and usually only 1 so this never becomes an issue.

A final comment, I still think this is not Forte's problem because Forte's sampleset is much larger than the VSC sampleset and therefore takes up way more memory. I suspect but certainly don't know, if you were to use the VSC the same thing would occur, it would just take more songs before you got that error message because of less memory usage.
