I'm trying to use the same instrument plugin in an instrument rack but with different settings. So let's say I'm want to layer an Arturia Stage-73 V. I put the Stage-73 in the instrument rack more than once and I want each one to have different settings within each individual Stage-73. The problem I'm having is that Live is treating each one as the same. So if I change one Stage-73 to be the Fx Trax emulation it changes the other Stage-73 to the same setting. I've tried changing the names in the instrument rack so they're not the same, but Live still controls all instances of the Stage-73 as one. Is there any way around this? Thanks.

Hm, I'm not able to replicate the issue using Absynth. I can layer two instances with different presets pretty quickly.
Maybe it's something on Arturia's side?

Thanks for the response.
I rebooted and tried again and I at first I was getting some weird results, but now for some reason it seems to be working OK. At one point I couldn't get any sound at all from that particular emulation so maybe it was an issue with Arturia. I have 32GB of memory, SD hard drives and an i7 processor, so I don't think it's a system issue, - regardless, it's working now.
Again thanks for the response.

On Arturia's site the latest version is 1.0.4.1081, are you running that one? If not you might need to update, but that's the best advice I can give aside from blaming it on a ghost in the machine
