@IK Multimedia, here's another one for your programming team: When you delete a custom IR from the cab block and load a Tonex preset using it, it says "Tone Model cannot be found or loaded" - which isn't exactly true as the Tone Model is still there, just the IR is missing.
When you however reload a song using a Tonex patch with an IR that you deleted, it still has that information "somehow" - which of course is good as total recall of projects remains intact, but it's confusing.
So here's some suggestions:
- When an IR is missing from a preset, there should be a search option. Just as what exists for pretty much all software samplers ("search filesystem", "search folder", "point to file" being the most common options).
- When an IR is missing from the IR list but the project still recalled the correct settings (which, as said, is great), there should still be an option to relocate and reload the IR.
- Ideally, there would be an option such as "bake IR into preset" (with an option to still remove it if you wanted) or even into the Tone Model already (so it'd act like the cabs captured in full rigs).
And while we're at it, here's some more wishes regarding IRs:
- It'd be great if I could custom sort them. Let me just drag them up and down in the list and add that status as "custom" to the display option dropdown menu in the upper left.
- It'd be even better if one could use folders.
Fwiw, just so you know I'm not always complaining (well, I am, but hey...): IR browsing in general is quite great as it's amazingly fast. I'm not aware of any IR loader allowing me to scroll through bigger lists of IRs with just the arrow keys as easily and quickly (well, Logic's Space Designer does that, but you need to have your IRs saved as SD presets). And because of that it'd be even greater if those two wishes could be implemented. Would make it the (single) IR loader to rule them all.
