2022-06-01 Potential Breakthru
After effing around with this for the better part of a week, I was finally able to save a SS without any bullshit. 2 key items:
- Check the “KBD” checkboxes (see screenshot) for each voice
- Change “Lock” to “Unlock”
This is from the manual. It kinda helped me figure it out, but I’m not sure I could tell you exactly what I did to “fix” it. But here are the steps I took:
On the FA’s WRITE MENU (after pressing the WRITE button) screen I had 3 options in STUDIO SET play mode:
- Studio Set (SS)
- Tone(Part02)
- Song
First I tried saving the SS, but after going thru the save process, the second instrument (the one that I was trying to save) defaulted to no voice selected. So I selected the same voice again (without making any changes to the preset version of the voice) and tried saving it again. Same result. (I always try to keep the definition of insanity in mind when confronted with a problem like this, but I usually repeat the same steps a few times just to make sure that outcome is repeatable…)
Second, I remembered the last time I had this problem that I kept getting a message that I needed to save something else first before I could save the SS. This time, however, there was no warning like that, but it still wasn’t saving correctly. So, this time, instead of saving the SS, I tried saving it as a Song. Same result: that voice that wouldn’t save, still wasn’t saving.
Third, I tried saving the Tone. Pretty sure that still didn’t work, however, I think I kinda gave up at that point and I went looking for any notes I might have saved on the issue after resolving it the first time. Didn’t find any. (That was when I decided that it was finally time to create my own blog where I could save my notes about resolving issues like this so I wouldn’t have to keep solving them over and over. Hence, the creation of what you’re reading right now.)
That all happened a few days ago. I just tried saving the SS again a few minutes ago and… this time it worked! Not sure what actually resolved it, but next time if I have this same problem I will repeat these steps and hopefully resolve it much more quickly.
