With the more recent buzz builds, i've been having problems with midi controlling & keyjazzing several of my vsti's (with loader 1.1.9.9.4), but the latest b5 seems to have cured all that! I can even record in PXP now!

Thanks a million polac & keep up the good work! Very Happy

I finally got the polac asio working after installing this version. Midi out is working like a dream, and the pxp midi record is amazing. Good work! Smile

Yes this might be useful too. Btw you can resize via leftclick + drag(bottom+rightmost area), "keep original size" must be disabled then.

ok .. it's just that in my first attempt, I got stuck when I had a video resolution (1920x1080) that was higher than my screen resolution (1024x768) - so effectively I couldn't reach the lower right corner.

with small videos, everything went perfectly fine, including the scaling!

I've just noticed this video player vst. I think it deserves a bigger announcement - it's fantastic and it works flawlessly here.

Media player vst from Polac. Get it here:http://www.buzzchurch.com/viewtopic.php?t=4607

Hi!

First of all, big up's for continuing the work on the loaders!! I'm ever grateful Very Happy
The latest beta has solved many of my problems, where some of my vsti's couldn't be controlled via my midi board anymore.
And the new additions in the loader are awsome:)

I found a small bug however that i thought i should report (Running buzz build 1207 btw)

If i add couple of vsti's, controlling them via my midi board works fine (Master keyb view & midi filtering enabled). However, if i save the bmx and reload it, i can't control any of the vsti's in machine view.
I discovered, that if i enter the pattern view of any vsti and try to play, it seems to activate the midi again, and the vsti can now be played again in any view.
This goes for all the vsti's it seems, so i need to enter the pattern of each one and hit a note on my controller to activate it again.

Keep up the good work!

3. Kontakt 4 Player crashes after instrument is loaded. Works very slowly generally.


I was able to reproduce this crash in other hosts here too(Renoise/Reaper/Chainer). Like Ekral said it happens in Buzz if you have the "stop process" option enabled(or if you try to load an instrument while kontakt is in muted state). Renoise has a similar feature called "auto suspend", if this is enabled Kontakt crashes too on instrument load. I would say it's a bug in Kontakt.

I did add an option called "restart if editor is visible", which fixes this issue.

Happy to report that Kontakt 3 and 4 are working here too!

Interesting bit is that although Kontakt 3 and ME80 crashes Buzz if used in same project, Kontak 4 and ME80 don't crash Buzz. Which is fine since I can use K3 lib in K4. (Edit: or not, since I need to buy the kontakt 4 upgrade. Nice one NI Smile

Pro-53 still refuses to load.

And btw your mediavst is amazing!

I can't seem to transpose the octave for keyjazzing. I understand the keyb shortcuts are * and /. Does it only work on the numpad as I am now using a laptop?

Yes its always been numpad only, you should be able to access numpad keys with a func/fun modifier key though.

Yeah you'll have to hit FN and the * and / that are found near the right section of the board (the keys labels are usually marked in a blue colour)

Any chance for an automatic portamento command (Define amount of glide which is repeated automatically until the given not is reached)? This would prevent of typing the same values into patterns over & over.

Yes it seems the <thru> command in the seq view is broken, don't know if this is fixable, if a machine uses the new multi-io stuff it doesn't get notified about the thru state unless I'm missing something.

The pvst bypass should work, but I changed it to a "soft bypass" which means the plugin still gets processed silently. This is more safe instead of doing a hard bypass. Perhaps I should add an option to switch.

PostPosted: Monday April 12th, 2010 5:22    Post subject: PVST, Buzz or a Typical MIDI problem? Reply with quote

When I use Peerchord to send notes to my external MIDI gear via PVST, I get a strange occurrence sometimes.

Some of the notes, especially > 16th notes, get stuck in some kind of "memory" where they can continue to play in sequence even after Buzz is stopped. F12'ing on/off from Buzz doesn't work, neither does "all notes off" from PVST. Even closing Buzz altogether doesn't seem to stop the endless backlog of notes from continuing to play and this might point to a MIDI problem or problem with my soundcard itself, but maybe it's also how Buzz or PVST buffers the events or something.

Anyone?

I dont think all notes off sends midi note off out.

Sounds like you have open notes on your synth where you're using sustain (not turning off when stopped) and a long release (multiplying same note as several 16 notes play) and that you're not sending note offs.

No, it's not sustain or stuck notes. Even with no release and sustain, notes are still being sent. I should have mentioned before, but the midi event light on my Microwave XT (the unit in question) is still flashing when I stop Buzz or close it, so I know that it's still receiving midi from memory somewhere!

Feedback loop? midi thru enabled on your outboard passing notes back in to a u-turn by midiyoke oslt?

Save as Default under the Learn menu will save your MIDI CC bindings as default for that VST/VSTi instrument

I have done that but if move from one machine to another i have to rebind all the controllers to the new machine. If i was able to save a template it would be a snap rather than a chore.

look in your PVST Data directory, find the VST's directory, copy its config file and while you're in there.. any presets or favorites you might have made/want.

optionally you can just copy the entire directory over and then use 'clean up' from pvst to get rid of anything you dont have on that specific computer.

everytime i install a new os or move to a new computer, i always take a copy of my pvst data directory with me. that way i have all my presets, favorites and default settings.


for example;
C:\Users\Aaron\Documents\PVST Data\

I'm getting stuck notes keyjazzing in Blok VST's patch editor. I'm guessing that there's a conflict with PVST's own keyjazz causing note-offs to go missing. I tried Preferences->Disable Keyjazzing figuring it would just prevent PVST's own keyjazz but it stops Blok's built in keyjazz too. Preferences->Route PC Keyboard Input To VST doesn't seem to make any difference to the problem. This is with 1.1.10b6. It didn't seem to happen as much with PVST 1.1.9.9.4.

Is there a way to fix this? If I had to choose between keyjazz in the patch editor or in the normal gui then keyjazz in the editor is far more useful.

Zephod mailed me about this some time ago too. It seems that Blok's modular window somehow routes it's keyboard input(WM_KEYDOWN / WM_KEYUP etc.) back to the pvst window. Then the notes seem to get triggerd by both pvst and blok.

I think I could handle it but actually Zephod should try to fix this.

hi, i noticed some odd behaviour with Synth1 1.07. i think this might be easier to understand if you're familiar with this plugin.

in the previous pvst version making modifications to a preset, saving the song & opening it again worked perfectly, in the sense that the preset changes kept saved along with the song.

with pvst 1.1.10b6 this isn't working: if i load up a preset in Synth1's own preset manager (i made an "init" one to start from scratch), make some changes, save the song & open it again, pvst loads up the preset saved in the plugin preset manager (it does not load/save any subsequent changes).

a workaround for this is using the preset manager in Synth1 extensively: make changes, save them in the preset manager, etc.

this loader gets better and better. Dance

a tiny question, is it possible to exclude a specific folder from scanning?
a simple prefix in the xml.

got some very old registered vstis that refuse to load the new buzz + polac and i dont want the folder moved/deleted.

EDIT: typo.

Synth1, as good and free as it is, is not without it's faults..

When 1.07 came out, an upgrade meant that you would lose all saved settings in song files because of some parameter miss-matching..

Now that 1.08 is out, I have not upgraded because of the pain in the @$$ that upgrading to 1.07 was. I still occassionally run into old broken sounding projects due to 1.07.


Daichi did increase the number of programs to 12800 per vst bank now, too much for the loader right now, only about 1000 programs are accessible via the menu which is a bug.

@polac

does PVST support incremental CCs (the ones sending 96 for increase / 97 for decrease value) now, by any chance?

the question came up in this thread, I looked through all the menues but couldn't find anything

http://www.buzzchurch.com/viewtopic.php?t=4860

new PVST runs stable for me so far, thanks for the hard work you put in!!
