Incorrect destination on output chain

[AposMus]

This is probably more a Cubase problem than a Halion one, but I was curious if someone has found a workaround.

I’ve been exploring the idea of larger Cubase templates and have a few instances of Halion in a template, using 16 slots each, and each slot going to its own audio out. When reopening the project or instancing the template, the channel editor doesn’t go to the correct audio output when the output chain is activated.

The inspector still has the correct audio out though.

I’ll quote this post from a user in the Cubase forum

Output chain in channel editor wrong after save

@nsharpstudios

This Bug has been present since 8.02 I believe. Only worked correctly for a short time:

The problem can be demonstrated for multi-timbral VSTs instantiated as either rack or track instruments. It is just described here using a rack instrument as an example.

1. Create a new project
2. Add an instance of HALion Sonic SE to the rack & enable output ‘HSSE Out 2’
3. Create two midi tracks (‘MIDI 01’ & ‘MIDI 02’)
4. Connect track one to HS channel 1
5. Connect track two to HS channel 2 and set output selector in the inspector to ‘HSSE Out 2’
6. With focus on track two, open the channel editor and make sure ‘Show Output Chain’ is enabled. It will show the chain as ‘MIDI 02’->‘HSSE Out 2’ (As expected)
7. Save the project, exit, and re-open it
8. Repeat step 6. Although the Inspector still shows the output selector as ‘HSSE Out 2’, the channel editor now shows it as ‘MIDI 02’->‘HSSE Main’

The user also posted this screen cap in the second post.

Yes it’s still not fixed. Unbelievable…
