Pushing Variations to song parts

Gig Performer on Mac OS X

I think I have followed the manual to do this but it seems eratic. I have a panel which has a mapping to control the track number of the Streaming player. So for a new song I change the track in the intro section of the song to correct track. However when I try and use the push to other parts of the song some change and some don’t. Is there anything anyone can suggest I may be missing / doing incorrectly please thanks

A new song part, when mapped to a variation, uses the values of that variation unless you perform a snapshot. If you do that, you will always get that snapshot back when you revert to the same songpart, even if the underlying variation widgets have changed.

You can optionally push a snapshot back to the variation in which case all other song parts that did not take snapshots will have the updated variation values when selected.

thanks all it may be my dyslexia is meaning I am getting mixed up in actuality or in the way I am describing things. I’ll have another go and another read of the terminolgy for things but to give an example let us say I am in Song 1 which have 5 parts. Let’s say for ease of exampel that all 5 parts use the same rask space but perhaps there are variations in recerb/delay on guitar. Also in the rack space is a controller mapped to change the backing track on global streaming playing. So let’s say you duplicate a song ( Song 2 ) . You go to first song part and change the player control to the correct track for that song ( song 2 ) - hit the disk icon and then contextual push to … I’d expected that change to reflect in all the song 2 parts so am i doing something wrong or inventing a feature that isn’t there perhaps. I was assuming, maybe wrongly, that the fact the contextual menu lit up meant it was going to work Thanks again

As midisystems says, you have full flexibility to assign each song part to any rackspace variation you want.

Song parts just connect to rackspace variations.

So, this (below) suggests some confusion:

I do not think you would change the “player control” in the song part. You would change it in the rackspace.

So, you need to distinguish between:
Rackspace wiring (where plugins themselves are located)
Rackspace variations (where widgets control)
Song Parts (which can link to any rackspace variation, but can use “snapshots” to save widget settings just for that song part).

Hope this helps a bit.
