Hi All,

thanks for your feedback to Diva and version 1.1 in particular. In order to prepare for the next release, we would like to collect all known bugs and issues in this thread.

We decided to split bugs into two categories: 1) Bugs that we can reproduce and 2) Bugs that we can't reproduce and that we can't explain.

So if you can reproduce a bug that we can't please help us by telling us how . I will try to keep the list in this posting up-to-date:

Known Reproducible Bugs

- Changing between presets with different output-volume can produce loud clicks
- Pulse widths other than 50% can 'pop' on attacks
- When unloading one instance of Diva, other instances or newly opened ones could crash

Known Unreproducible Bugs

keep it coming

Cheers,
- Clemens

Did you notice my report about MIDI note-off messages being dropped in FL when using variable block-size. Mostly happens when sending fast arpeggios (eg send a 16th note pattern at 140 BPM and it'll drop several per bar). Not dependent on multi-threading. Happens in both monophonic and polyphonic modes. Forcing FL to use fixed block-size eliminates the issues. Used to work in betas at least.

Ah, right. I'll add this as a bug - can you provide us with an FL project file so we have a test case?

Another issue with FL is, that without fixed buffers it tends to crackle. That seems to be a performance problem rather than a real bug - FL just calls our render function very often which causes some overhead compared to other DAWs. I think it was automation which really hurt the CPU...

Cheers and thanks!

Known reproducible bug: Phaser module "sync" rate knob.

This one has been reported since the early betas but has been overlooked or .. simply forgotten.

The rate knob seems to work fine when it's not synced.
Once synced, the range seems "compressed" to the minimum of the knob rather than spread across the whole range of it.

Maybe it would be a bit hard to fix it now because of the compatibility issues...

I'll add this one as a "inconvenience" to our internal feature list. The "synced" rate sets the quarters that it needs for one full sweep of the phaser to complete. The interesting part of that does indeed lie between 0.01 and 4.0 such that 4.0 - 100.0 takes way too much of the knob rotation range...

Probably this won't make it into the next release but maybe we'll add a different sync mode at some point which would allow to sync to something else than quarters. Maybe log-quarters or something (1/16, 1/4, 1/1, 4/1, ...).

not bug but inconvenience:
white noise (and possibly other noise sources) not scaling well at different resolutions.
i personally only use diva at 44.1k but whoever might use it at 96k or higher will lose much volume from it.

In Ableton Live 8.2.2, there are audio dropouts, clicks, and CPU spikes when switching pages (mod, trimmers, etc) while multi-thread is enabled.

This doesn't seem to happen in Cubase 5.5.3 so far.

Make sure your multi-core setting in Live is not turned off.
You might want to upddate (there is a smaller app only dl) to Live 8.2.7
That's the last update before 3.0 and maybe see if it fixes the problem.
I might be updating to 3x very soon though.

I get occasional random daw crashes only when quitting out of the program, but oddly not when closing the project. This only happens occasionally, and only after using Diva, as the only plugin.
I have 3 crash reports I can send as soon as I can.
Again it happened only a few times, since the latest rev.
It did not happen before that at all.
I also did not use multi-threading, during any of the crashes.
I did maintenance cache cleaning, and typical permissions repair as well.

Yay, just send them to support at u-he com

Just double checked, and I do have multi-core enabled in Live. But I will try updating Live, then check again.

Hi
I am getting a strange issue with Cubase 6.5 64 Bit.
Often on first selecting Diva as a VST instrument there is no sound. If I delete from the VST rack and then reselect Diva, cancel the create new track then insert into the track I have previously loaded Diva then has sound.
However, if I load a new VST track Diva has no sound.
If I save a project close down, then re-open Diva has no sound. I have to remember the preset and reload Diva and reinsert into the track.

It is making Diva a bit difficult to use until I get to the bottom of what is happening. I love Diva and want to make maximum use of this ground breaking synth.
Thanks

Sometimes the multi-thread button doesn't show up for me

I reinstalled the latest version of diva, but it's no help.

I haven't been able to accurately reproduce it, but it happens alot.

I'd be happy to send screenshots or logs if that would help

When I change the size of diva (or Zebra) and then close and open the plug, the plugin window is the same size as the 'normal' size but the plugin is still zoomed to how I set it, which means there's either extra white space or it's cut off.

Just spent a couple hours organizing patches only to find that preset drag and drop doesn't work. Lame
