Default More issues with AIR...this time Transfuser

I seem to keep running into annoying issues with AIR these days, and I'm not sure why. This time I had an issue using the "Gater" fx insert on a module. The effect comes with a pull down menu offering 32 patterns. Well, no matter what pattern I select, nothing whatsoever changes in the gater pattern. I reported this on the AIR website and they said it was probably because I was trying to do this with the gater installed on FX1 or FX2 insert...but that's not the case. I'm putting directly on the module inserts, where you're supposed to. The patterns simply aren't there!

I'm wondering if anyone else has the same problem?

I'm sure I'm not the ONLY one in the universe! The truth is, I really like a lot of the sound you get with some of the AIR VIs, especially Hybrid, Vacuum and Vacuum Pro, Xpand2, and Loom. Transfuser is still one of the best groove/loop creators out there and I use it ALL the time with very little problems. In fact, this is the first time I've run into a glitch with it.

See if you can do this:

1. Put Transfuser on an instrument track, and put a vocal ad lib or some other more sustained sound on a module.
2. Then, insert "Gater" on the fx inserts on the module (see first image below)
3. You'll notice at the bottom of Transfuser that the gater effect defaults to 1/16. Now try selecting one of the patterns off the pattern menu and see if anything changes. (None of them do for me) See 2nd image

Now try the same thing by selecting the "INS" inserts and selecting Gater (see 3rd image below). Select a pattern or two.

I can make manual changes to any of the Gater parameters (ie Gate, Cutoff, Reso, etc), but none of the patterns do a thing. See if it works for you. Thanks

I'm infront of our beautiful SSL4K G+ 48 ch console now and will start testing.

Thanks for the detailed info.

PS I will never wanna be here without this magical desk hehe Pure Love! And it always just works along with our 3M 2" 24 track tape! ... sorry .. had to say that after all these issues with computers and DAW's. We work 80% in Live9 Suite with PUSH2 now and whenever I fire up a trashcan with HD12 on it i get a anxious feeling in my stomach and it shouldn't be that way so started recording on tape as much as possible. The only little niggle is the JL Cooper striping box that take up ch24 and sometimes bleed over to ch 23 even though ch24 is the sync track :/

Sat up for hours as i had to reauthorize thedamn AIR VI (all of them) one by one by one by .... so after three hours of nothingbut bad illwill towards all of them I went to bed andtried a few minutes ago again and I get the FX to work half of the time and the other half only two or three on the dropdown.

Don't wanna be rantmaster here but it seem like everytime we try to use AIR VI something goes awry and end up using other more co-operative synths.

I am gonna tinker a bit more now as I just came home so will report back

Ii really don't like Transfuser and recommend Stylus for awesome beats

Did you switch systems or something since you last used any AIR VI's? I never had that issue. I've had very few issues with Transfuser, which is why I use it so often. It does so much more than just create beats, though. That's why I use it. You can easily slice things up with it, which is great for creating novel vocal fx, for example. But this gater issue was a new one. Perhaps its always been an issue, but I never knew it because until this past week, I hadn't really done much with that particular effect, and don't recall ever looking at or trying to use the patterns in the pull down menu.

Over-all I find Transfuser very easy to use. Did you know you can also you use it just as an fx generator? Slap it on an audio track and import the "audio" module, and you can then use whatever fx within Transfuser you want. I use it that way to use the "Beatcutter" effect once in a while. Pretty cool, I think.

.
Confirmed here, the Gater presets don't load anything/are all the same.
Did AIR "support" ever get back to you?
