Massive 1.5.8 'presets not sorted alphabetical' issue not fixed?

I'm very happy with a new update for this great synth, which means that NI hasn't 'discontinued' it. Didn't receive a reminder btw so I just saw it today. Unfortunately, it seems that the browser issue on Mac Catalina - and before this, Mojave - hasn't been fixed, while it already was discussed in several topics 2 years ago. Can someone from the NI team check the following conversations and add a bit more info here, about this subject? Would be appreciated. Thanks!

It's not only that you'll need to click the 'Name' tab each time, it's also that in the upper right corner - left from the NI logo - the loading circle keeps loading. Also, in Logic Pro X 10.6.1 the name of the presets still won't show up (sometimes they do though). So I'm wondering about this one too.

Hey Dynamikemusic. I'll try to get info on that one. This bug is indeed still present. To be honest, I doubt it will be fixed in a near future. The last update was more about bringing Massive to BigSur. Bug fixes then would be prioritized by gravity and number of users affected or reporting the issue, in this particular case, there were really not many. I hope it makes sense to you.

About the other issue in Logic, can you tell us where you would like the preset to show, which presets show and which don't. Screenshots are welcome !

 

It does! Although I would like to have seen a fix of course. Clicking each time twice on the name tab while browsing - 1 for alphabetical, 1 for order because the list is upside down at first - isn't very helpful workflow wise. That's why it surprises me that there aren't many reports about this issue. But I understand how it works.

I added several Massive units with randomly picked presets. The printscreen shows the result and speaks for itself I think. There's not really a structure when it comes to which preset names are visible. Now it's 2 out of 8 but in most cases there are no names visible at all so you'll have to add them yourself manually. When searching Google for help I found a thread where someone else mentioned the same issue but can't find it anymore unfortunately.

 

confirm Cubase and standalone

 

I'll try to get info on that issue as well, thanks for the detailed explanations.

 

Jeremy hopefully they´re also looking to this never-ending-circle every few minutes which drives me crazy for some years
