This is a long one, but I\'d obviously greatly appreciate any help from the experienced GS gurus out there.
When I load all my gigs for a project, ultimately I end up with more than 127 \'instruments\' in the Loaded Instruments list. What seems to happen then is that new instruments, when loaded, are being mapped so that they share instrument numbers with previously mapped instruments. As far as I can tell, there is no way to control what \"instrument numbers\" instruments are mapped to.
The problem is that when I save my GSP session, and later reload, I can\'t access some instruments that have been double-assigned in this way. Instead, the ports/channels that had double-mapped instruments will show up as \"empty\" when I reload the session, or the channels will load with the first instrument loaded onto that instrument number. When I try to assign the \"empty\" instrument slots again to make them match the way that the GSP was saved, only the first instrument mapped to the particular instrument number will be assigned.
This might not make any sense, so here\'s an example.
Garritan Violin marcato light is loaded and assigned to instrument #60.
Later, Sam Trumpets is loaded into a different channel/port, and Gigastudio (seemingly randomly) assigns it to instrument #60 because numbers 1-127 are already filled.
Now both the violins and trumpets are on instrument #60. If I save the session, close, and reload, the Violins will have replaced the trumpets in some, but not necessarily all the channels that the trumpet was assigned to. It seems impossible to put the trumpet back into place on the channel(s). When I try to do this, the program just insists on placing the violin there. I can replace the violins with instruments associated with OTHER instrument numbers, but if the violins and trumpets are both on #60, any attempt to load the trumpets into that channel will result in the violins loading.
This is a big problem, mostly because Gigastudio seems to double-map instruments to the same number as a normal part of its activities. Almost all of my instruments are double mapped, but it only happens to a few (that randomly change each time the problem occurs).
I can\'t save a large session and expect it to load with the instruments properly loaded! It even happens mid session sometimes - (e.g. the violins replace the trumpets in a channel)!
I\'ve noticed the \"bank #\" column in the loaded instruments window, but the value is always 0 for all of my instruments. Could this be part of the problem?
If anyone has read this far down and could offer any help, i\'d greatly appreciate it! So far, GS has been nothing but a massive buggy frustration.
