Fontstack from 4Pockets, the remote access to

the selected soundfont folder does not

work after upgrading

cubasis (3.8.5 / 3.8.6).

With version 3.7 everything works fine, but

after upgrade to new cubasis version

Fontstack does not load the selected

soundfont from the remote folder. Instead after

opening the cubasis-project again, Fontstack loads

any soundfont from the local folder. Does

anybody use Fontstack with Cubasis and have the same problem?

Thanks + Regards

I updated to 3.8.6 recently and noticed that AUv3 folder permissions have been acting a bit strange.

Whenever Cubasis pushes a new update, it sometimes messes up the iOS/iPadOS sandbox permissions for “remote” or linked folders in the Files app. Because Fontstack relies on that external folder link to pull the soundfonts, Cubasis 3.8+ seems to be severing that connection when the project closes. When you reopen it, Fontstack panics because it lost the path, and just defaults to a local patch.

As a temporary workaround until Steinberg or 4Pockets patches this, I’ve just been manually copying the specific `.sf2` or `.sfz` files I need for my current project directly into Fontstack’s local folder. It’s annoying and clutters up storage, but it stops the project from losing the right sounds when you reload.

It might be worth dropping a quick bug report in the 4Pockets Facebook group too—Paul (the developer) is usually very fast at looking into host-specific routing bugs like this!
