Global audio and MIDI settings

Post by Yearofthegoat »

Has anyone set anything up to set global audio and MIDI settings for their Cherry Audio instruments? At the moment I have to set audio and 3x MIDI controllers in each instrument plugin individually.

I'm going to try batch-replacing the audioDeviceSettings section of each <instrument_name>.settings file with my chosen settings, i.e.:

<VALUE name="audioDeviceSettings">
<DEVICESETUP deviceType="ASIO" audioOutputDeviceName="ASIO MADIface USB" audioInputDeviceName="ASIO MADIface USB"
audioDeviceRate="48000.0">
<MIDIINPUT name="KONTROL S61 MK3" identifier="\\?\usb#vid_17cc&amp;pid_2110&amp;mi_00#7&amp;25601ab&amp;0&amp;0000#{6994ad04-93ef-11d0-a3cc-00a0c9223196}\global"/>
<MIDIINPUT name="A-PRO 1" identifier="\\?\usb#vid_0582&amp;pid_010f#9&amp;14833f5&amp;0&amp;1#{6994ad04-93ef-11d0-a3cc-00a0c9223196}\midiin1-2"/>
<MIDIINPUT name="A-PRO 2" identifier="\\?\usb#vid_0582&amp;pid_010f#9&amp;14833f5&amp;0&amp;1#{6994ad04-93ef-11d0-a3cc-00a0c9223196}\midiin1-3"/>
<MIDIINPUT name="MIDIIN2 (Launchpad Pro)" identifier="\\?\usb#vid_1235&amp;pid_0051#launchpad_pro#{6994ad04-93ef-11d0-a3cc-00a0c9223196}\global-2"/>
</DEVICESETUP>
</VALUE>

It would be great (and better, really) if these could be set just once in Cherry Audio Sync and applied to the set of instrument plugins, but overwriting the above section might be a useful workaround.

It sounds like an interesting idea. Have you written to customer support and offered your suggestion for a new Sync feature? I just set my instruments as needed from the last setup, but I can see the benefit of automating changes if you regularly switch your setup around.

No, not yet, but that's a good suggestion (edit: have just sent an email in).

No regular switch-rounds here really, was just I recently got an S61 Mk3 which I needed to add in - and of course my 17 plugins took a little while.

Arturia's the same so I wrote a Powershell script for those. They have individual -same- files per plugin with the settings in , so it's a little easier to just replace one file in each plugin folder, than to do a 'find-and-replace' on text within a set of files whose other content is different each time.

Just had a reply back, and a global settings option is on the to-do list. Looking forward to it, thanks CA!
