Redux won't recall my default settings

Hi there,

I recently purchased Redux and I’m having trouble getting it to remember my default settings. It’s failing to recall the theme, sample and instrument bookmarks and other sampler settings even if I save them as a preset. What’s going on? Am I doing something wrong?

OS: Windows 10 Pro 22H2

Redux Build: Redux V1.3.5

DAW: Reaper V7.22 and Bitwig 5.0.11

Anyone? Up.

@moloko For some reason you can’t read or write to the configuration file.
You may want to check the following directories (maybe).

  • %APPDATA%\Renoise Redux\V1.3.5\

The following files were checked on Linux, but if these are writable, there is probably no problem.

  • KeyBindings.xml
  • Log.txt
  • Config.xml
  • KeyBindings.xslt

They there!

Thanks for the reply. I just checked these Redux files and they all have those permissions, along with the folder. So I don’t know what might be preventing Redux from saving its state.

What happens if I rename the above directory and then start Redux?
Is there any writing in Log.txt?
Any hints there?

Renaming and moving the Renoise Redux folder is futile because as soon as I open Redux it creates a folder in %APPDATA% if the original folder isn’t there.

As I said earlier all the Redux files have read/writing rights. I could send the rest of my logfile here if that’s useful.

Try launching a single instance of Redux in your Host. Tweak the settings and then unload it. The last Redux instance which is getting closed is writing the preference for all others.

We should fix that somehow.

Before what I was doing is once I’d finished customising Redux, I’d try closing it down and then opening it up in a different track, but that wasn’t working. I now tried closing it and opening it in the same track, and it worked!

Thank you, I appreciate your time :slight_smile:
