Now that I know how to save individual voices as vstpresets (at last!) I have been converting many of my libraries to have them organized in Cubase’s MediaBay.

I have come across one class A bug:

- Trying to save certain sounds as VST preset crashes Cubase 5 fulminatingly. Always happens with the same voices, and it produces a vstpreset file of zero file size.

Eg. Motif ES preset data:
bank 6: 89:Four skids
Bank 4: 18:Shukran
Bank 4: 23:Gagaku

Hope this report helps to improve the next version.

Thanks for the info.  Is there anything about these Voices that are similar i.e. they all use User Arps, etc.

If you find this , let us know as that would make it easier to find the isssue.

Got it, that one was easy to find. ;)

What have in common those voices is that no one has any category assigned.

Giving them a category solves the problem.

The bug may be located in the code that converts XS categories to MediaBay’s when creating the vstpreset file. If no category is present in the XS voice, PANG!

Thanks, we’ll pass it on, but in the meantime if you assign a category before saving as VST preset that should work.

Hey there Athan, Your a really smart guy,can you say why this issue is happening?  “80’s Pop Rock voice library crashing Cubase 5 on import? “

Is this not a bug either? Meet you in the rack XS forum :]
