Scene writing issues?

Post by Per »

Anyone else experiencing issues when writing scenes?

When you save a scene with assigned faders the first fader is always reset to 0 when you revisit the scene, and sometimes the FX routing gets messed up too?

Also does anyone know if there's a way to write the whole scene + zones rather than having to manually go through each zone, write them to a location, then write the scene (otherwise it'll discard the changes to the zones)? It feels really cumbersome and like there should be a single button for the job.

I don't have this issue. When I save a Scene it saves all the changes to the Zones that are in that scene (except for offsets to tones, which require the individual tone to be saved first to avoid losing the offset, which is shouldn't be necessary--it wasn't on the Fantom Xx series in 2005). Also, make sure you are using the "Write" hard button to the upper left of the screen for writing Scene changes and not using the "Edit -> Write" soft button on the screen when you select a scene. The latter only saves changes to the scene name, notes, color, and star rating.

Did you save your scene (or init it under) user bank D? You can start by calling up one of the preset scenes in banks A, B and then write to an empty setting in bank D by changing the write destination for the scene using the scroll wheel. At least for me after I saved an existing scene to bank D, then zone setting edits were saved working with the scene in bank D.

I copied the stock A001 scene with the piano preset the first zone to scene D001. I have read that V-piano presets must be in zone 1. But when I edit that piano preset (or put any piano preset in zone 1) - I cannot get the octave shift in the zone parameters to do anything. Or if I change the octave shift value from 0 to +1 or -1 in the zone parameters it does change the octave, even after I write the scene. The only way I can get octave transpose to work for a piano preset is if I use the transpose buttons at the far left of the keyboard which affects all zones. Maybe someone can report back if the zone transpose works for them.

The V-Piano is only available in Zone 1. You won't even see the V-Piano patches listed when you choose the piano presets in another zone.

The V-piano won't support any transposition. It's not about the Zone, it's about the engine. Any other Z-Core piano in Zone 1 will transpose fine.

This is a known issue with transposing the Vpiano within a scene, Roland are aware of the issue and hopefully we will see a fix for it maybe by Namm... fingers crossed.
