Hi Bryan,
When this happens in my Waves plugin window in my HD3 rig I close ALL
the other windows that are open.
This usually stops the "jump out of the window" syndrome! LOL At
least in my waves plugin windows It stays in the window.
Your mileage may very!
Talk soon

Vinny, what is happening in Strike is that, when VO focus moves to
some controls, a tool tip pops up. When that happens, VO's focus
moves out of the window. Since the plug in windows are kind of
strange floating windows, and don't show up in the regular Command-`
ring, they won't receive focus automatically when the tool tip
window disappears. Instead, you're dropped back in to the mix/edit
window.
A workaround is to move directly to controls with the item chooser.
This lets you skip over the controls that bring up tool tips, but
doesn't make it possible to actually operate those controls.
Another issue that I discovered is that Transfuser freezes up
VoiceOver. Don't know why. Maybe Transfuser's window is too full of
busy graphics? It doesn't happen right away, but, soon after opening
its window, I'm stuck in the eternal "busy, busy, busy, busy" state.
Velvet is pretty good, but I don't think it stacks up to Lounge
Lizard. The tine harmonics sound very static. That makes all of the
bright dyno pianos sound like cheesy synthetic crap. The old school
epiano presets sound accurate, though. Lounge Lizard can produce
some beautiful glassy epianos that sound something like what an FM
rhodes would sound like if it were a real instrument, and not
digitally synthesized. No idea why AIR cut corners.

Subject: PT 9, The Expansion Pack and Mac OS 10.6.5
Hi Folks,
I finally got my upgrade to PT 9 this weekend along with the
expansion pack.
So far so good with accessing the instruments in the pack. Since
they are using the Avid library menu all the presets are available.
I think Strike is very usable not only because it's accessible, but
the kits rock as well. The only strangeness I found is the way VO
behaves in the plug-in window when Strike is instantiated. Voice
Over is not very responsive and looses focus from the plug-in window
at times. I don't know if there is some funky refreshing going on
with the drum layout.
Velvet and Hybrid react more stably and all the presets can be
accessed via the librarian menu. I'll let you know how I find the
last two instruments after I get a chance to use them for a bit. I
did however, upgrade to 10.6.5 to see if that would fix the issues I
was having with the Strike window, but no changes as of yet. I did
find that PT 9 does seem to work fine for me with the update, but I
did clone my drive with Super Duper before I ran the update just in
case I need to go back.
I'll keep you posted on what ever else comes up with all these
areas, Vinny
