      Someone mentioned that the unload button (the little grid icon) wasn't very intuitive and something like a back arrow might work better.

      Any thoughts on this?

      Or this?

        @David-Healey I like the first option icon. What if you put that icon where you're placing the arrows so that it implies "going back to library"?

          I feel that is less intuitive, it starts to look like a logo. But you like the original with it next to the settings icon?

            @David-Healey It does confuse with the logo looking at it now. I guess where you had it was good. For sure I like this icon better than the arrows because for me it says "library".

              @Bart I've been down a little rabbit hole today with global cables, the articulation switching should work now

              https://e.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZm4ycZWRIqN1pUCPmGxb4Vxktn7LJfhul7

              Did you intend to link the sample pack again, or meant to be a patched app update?

              Within 10 seconds of unloading the sample pack Rhapsody crashes FL Studio consistently.

              Maybe place the library icon on the left side of the preset header, possibly with a gap.
              That's where I'd expect to access it, yet I'm not familiar with sample based plugins.

                @David-Healey Of the left-edge arrows, I prefer the one with the tail. Seems fairly obvious what it does when you see it. But it's also easy to miss in the UI because it's separated from the preset browser.

                Maybe a different icon in place of the grid, next to the preset browser?

                I know this is usually 'upload' but if you have an 'Unload' tooltip on hover it might be clear enough.

                Also, if the Unload button is near the preset browser, I think it should be right next to it instead of the settings icon.

                As a user, I might also expect to be able to click on the expansion name to load a different one, or get back to the library.

                But on the whole, if the action of the button is to take you back to the library so you load another expansion, then the left-edge arrow button is probably best.

                  Yes, a limitation of the hr format is you can't really do partial patches.

                    It was happening by simply unloading the pack / click unload button and accept.

                    Trying it now has inconsistent results..
                    Sometimes can't get the sample pack to reload at all after unload.

                    Try unload | reload.
                    Move some controls.
                    Toggle play stop.
                    Crashing randomly doing these now.

                    Unload seems like the culprit.
                    Haven't noticed crash without unloading first.
                    Doesn't necessarily have to be reloaded to get crashes.

                        @Bart I only have the free trial of FL Studio and can't figure out the UI. But when I drag Rhapsody into the place it seems to want to go I get this.

                          @Bart Aha I figured it out (watched a YouTube tutorial).

                          I'm able to load/unload the instrument multiple times without any issue.

                          Which OS are you using?
                          Which version of FL Studio?
                          Which CPU?
                          Are you testing in a new empty project?

                          I've updated the Rhapsody build with a couple of tweaks, let me know if that improves the crashing issue.

                            Windows 11 25H2
                            Build 26200.8457
                            Intel i7-11800H 2.30GHz

                            FL beta from 2 months ago
                            I'll get the new beta and test it later today

                            It doesn't matter if new project or not, was consistently crashing with method stated.

                              I've completely uninstalled Rhapsody and the sample pack, then reinstalled new versions, also installed latest FL Studio beta.. unfortunately seeing the same crashes 10 seconds after unload.

                              The 10 second delay between unload and crash might be a clue, but sometimes it takes changing something in the plugin or DAW after unload to see the crash.

                              Key switches are working 👍
                              They also working now when triggering sequenced key switch notes and melody notes @ same time.. before your fix the key switch notes had to be placed before the melody notes.

                                @Bart I was testing with Win10. I've just tested on a fresh install of Win11 using the free trial of FL Studio, not sure if it's the same as the beta version, probably not.

                                Again no crashing here, I'll see if I can find some other FL Studio users to test.

                                    i just have the flstudio trial on windows 11.
                                    And i just made sure i got it installed in reaper, and then tried bitwig. IT worked on both just with a quick test. But for some reason, I dont see it here in the menu on flstudio. ITs just the trial, and I dont use flstudio really, so maybe im not looking in the right place? but this is where my vst3 instruments are.

                                      Then I think you go to Installed > Generators

                                      But before you do that, open the plugin manager (it's in one of the menus at the top) and rescan plugins.

                                        @David-Healey rescanning worked.

                                        got it working. ill mess around with it more.

                                        one thing i had to do to get my plugin to work in flstudio was doing this.

                                        1. Enable "Align tick lengths"

                                        Go to Options → Audio Settings
                                        Find the Align tick lengths option and turn it on
                                        2. Enable "Use fixed size buffers"

                                        Open the plugin in FL Studio
                                        Click the wrench icon at the top of the plugin window
                                        Go to the Troubleshooting tab
                                        Turn on Use fixed size buffers

                                        you probably already know about this. But it got rid of the buzzing /distortion sound i had before.

                                        but i didnt hear anything like that in Rhapsody

                                          @jeffd Yeah I always say the same thing to FL Studio users. Let me know if you get the crashing issue @Bart reported.

                                            @David-Healey no crash on my end.

                                            unloaded bell and bone and loaded back.

                                            no issues.
