Avoiding Counter reset possible?

Every time adding an new instrument to the ensemble the counters of the other blocks are reseted. Is there a way to avoid this?

 

short answer: No

longer answer: If you make your own Blocks and this is really important to you, then it should be possible to build them so that internal values are maintained during resets where desired (they're really saved and reinstated after a reset). Modifying existing blocks to work this way could be a significant amount of work, depending on the block, and which features you need to modify. You will still get audio glitches when adding a new block due to recompilation and initialisation.

Remember that with a 'real' modular rack, you can't add new modules without powering down first.

With the addition of front panel patching, and it's implementation as an extension of the internal ensemble structure, there should probably be an update to the Blocks specification that requires that important internal values such as sequencer step counters and LFO phase accumulators are maintained. Otherwise just adding or removing a patch cable is enough to mess things up.

 

Save your snapshots in the Blocks (not in Racks) and recall them after finish adding new Blocks in your ensemble.
