sfizz vs Carla, instrument choice is not saved correctly about sfizz-ui

Hi @jamshark70
There was a report of problems with restoring LV2 files by their path. Right now the problem is not well identified unfortunately.
In LV2, sfizz is calling host's mechanisms to save and restore paths portably, but there appear to be trouble in some circumstances.

You may instead use the VST3 version. In the later versions of Carla and Ardour, VST3 support is available and sfizz is compatible.
It uses a file loader of SFZ which is more robustly implemented using fuzzy search, which looks at user's SFZ files like a collection, and is able to load when the project is shared across machines.

Ok, I just wanted to be sure the issue is reported. Hope it can be fixed at some point.

I'm now using Reaper for this project (which, come to think of it, is probably loading the VST3 version of sfizz by default, and accordingly having no trouble with restoring the session). Though not free/libre, it works.

EDIT: Per falkTX/Carla#1266, currently it's necessary to build Carla for oneself for VST3 support.

This is working correctly with latest sfizz develop branch and carla since falkTX/Carla@5f3741c
