Screen Update Issue after duplicating patches 1.41 1.42 1.43b

After Duplicating a patch the knob screen has a grey wash and doesn’t update as knobs are turned. Patch still reacts properly to knob turns but knob screen is frozen. Seen with a range of patches in 1.41. 1.42 1.43b. Not a major issue but thought I’d mention otherwise no other issues.

What’s going on is that when you Duplicate a patch, it makes a copy of the patch. It loads the copy so you can view it, but it’s still playing the original patch. That’s why the KnobSet page is greyed-out: because the patch you’re viewing is not playing. If you want to play the new copy of the patch, just click Play and the knob set screen won’t be greyed out anymore. Picking a different name when you do Duplicate, makes it a little more more clear what’s going on.

On the other hand, when you do “Move/Rename” then it will open and start playing the new patch.

Basically, “Duplicate” means “Save a backup copy”, and then it opens that new patch but doesn’t start playing it unless you click Play.
