buzz forums

I don't know if FSM is on this forum? His homepage as stated on BuzzMachines is down, so I don't know if somebody has some contact details to forward this issue?

The issue:
In the attributes pane of FSM Infector you can enable Midi, so I can play notes on my external Midi keyboard to preview the sound of a certain Infector configuration. But whenever the configuration is changed due to switching to a preset, all the attributes are set to their default again; meaning Midi is disabled again. It's frustrating that when scrolling through the list of presets to see if it's the sound you're looking for, you have to enable Midi again on every preset change. It seems (to me as a programmer) very little work to fix this.

Now the question is: Does FSM still support Infector?

Attributes are saved with presets, presets files are in a xml (..../buzz/gear/machines) insert every x lines this line<Attribute Name="MIDI Channel (0=off)" Value="1" /> by the canal midi you want and all presets with your keyboard or this load Infector in Polac VSTi loader and you have a full midi machine with awesome options.

And I also wonder if FSM develops VST plugins under a different alias. Probably not, but I would be all over that.

He programmed some LV2/Ladspa plugins as it seems.

I run into this problem too. I thought it was a feature of new buzz .
Nice to hear its actually only a infector problem.
Anyway I didn't understand tingas solution.

Is there a folder called machines with an xml file?
I don't have a folder nor a file with that name.
Only gear.xml and gear_defaults.xml

This is also one reason I only use VSTs with PVST, MIDI/Keyjazzing always works.

In gear/machines, the xml for each machine preset, but use it just if you use always the same channel.

You can also use BTDSys PeerCtrl, you can assign attributes with it, so you can change Infector midi canal when you want from your midi keyboard/controler.

this also annoys me a fair amount as I usually switch thru presets to ballpark my sounds before getting into editing alot and its a pain to have to chain the midi channel every time .
So in gear the only XML files im seeing are gear.xml and gear_defaults.xml
neither seem to have any presets for Infector so I think im probably looking at the wrong xml file ..

There's a new way (see OverridePreset below) to fix this in the new build. I added Infector to gear_defaults.xml so it works by default now.

Code: Select all

  <Machine Name="FSM Infector">
    <Attribute Key="MIDI Channel (0=off)" Value="1" OverridePreset="True"/>
  </Machine>

Thanks! Works great now!

working great over here too tho yeah Tinga

or this load Infector in Polac VSTi loader and you have a full midi machine with awesome options.

.. why have i never thought of this ?! thanks for the heads up !
