FM8 & Reaper

Hey guys,

I am a happy user of Reaper and Native Instruments.

The only thing is I get strange behaviour from NIs sometimes.

Last example : FM8 (loaded as a VI) does not display its automated parameters correctly.
All knobs and faders are on the "0" position - not displaying the actual sound parameters.

When moving them (Reaper being stopped), they stay at their new position for a little while and then automatically get back to the "0" position.

I tried to automate them, but the same problem occurs : knobs and faders do not move accordingly ...

I already spent hours trying to figure it out and I must admit I am quite frustrated and stuck ...

Any help is welcome !

Get the same thing here, which is really annoying with the "Easy" settings. I was trying to adjust the envelopes with my controller keyboard, but as you say the values FM8 controls keep resetting so you loose track of how much something was adjusted.

I haven't been able to pin it down although I don't remember experiencing the resetting when I used to run Tracktion, so it may be a Reaper issue rather than FM8.

 

Just checked FM8 in Tracktion and the Easy setting controls don't jump back to centre, so I'm pretty sure this is a Reaper issue. I might try downloading and running the Reaper 3 Beta to see if the problem is still there.

 

A further follow up. I just reloaded FM7 (it's easier on the eyes!), and resetting of the Easy parameters doesn't occur!

Is there any easy way to migrate FM8 sounds back to FM7?
