KVR Audio

I tested Cardinal 23.02 also under macOS Mojave 10.14.6 in Ableton Live 10.1.43 as a VST3 plugin.
There, I don't get the crashes I have in Linux with Cardinal Native standalone version.
In particular, I can correctly open the example patch "JTB - Waves" as well as properly use the Surge XT modules "Wavetable VCO" and "Modern VCO".
Too, no problems with initially disturbed/scratchy audio nor hanging MIDI notes.

In short, everything seems to work smoother in macOS / Ableton Live using the Cardinal VST3 plugin than in the Linux Native standalone version.

I will give this a chance tonight. congragulations to the devs for this project looks awesome. I have some experience with VCV rack but all my experiments never made it into tracks due the the lack of DAW integration. Looks like a perfect little beast for some proper techno experiments. I was hesitant to try Cardinal at first but reading this thread it seems like you guys are updating quite frequently with new modules and bug fixes. Cheers!

Yes, the latest version does indeed crash when adding oscillators from Surge XT. Win10, FL20, Bitwig.

In Surge XT, the modulator has a MSEG mode, does anyone know why it was removed from the modules? And in general, are there any alternatives other than shape master?

hi, i was just asking, not trying to be rude, i will love to contribute but i know nothing about coding, playing synths is just my hobby
have a nice day

Testing builds and releases and providing feedback with system information and reproducible setup is a very good start to contribute.

the only thing I found is OBS (the streaming software) deliberately obfuscating some function names in order to bypass those antiviruses. see https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studi ... cate.h#L10
and example usage in https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studi ... ook.c#L933

but this is extremely ugly and not something any project should be proud of doing. they resorted to purposefully obfuscate the runtime, just like other viruses, in order to get around the antivirus stuff.

the whole thing is quite ridiculous in my opinion.

We have not reached a point yet where consumers verify, test, and/or trust open-source software over trusting a third-party entity's claims of safety/security, or really any other matter, based on credibility alone. That being said, I appreciate your commitment to keeping your code clean and steadfast against these "flags". Your awareness and disapproval of workarounds across other open-source software to accomodate this issue has garnered hard-earned respect from me.

A few questions from someone who hasn't used modular/racks...
I'm interested in learning a bit about synthesis through setting up virtual racks, and also want to be able to sequence & create ambient/environmental stuff, both fully automated as well as manually sequenced/triggered if possible.

My main DAW is Ableton Live 11 Suite.

Something I read seems to suggest Cardinal can't use parameter automation, but I wasn't able to find out more about that. I definitely need parameter automation.

Honestly I'm not sure where to start, and whether it's here (Cardinal) or if this would require VCV. There are so many devices included & available I figured it might be good to ask here too.

Also, I'm in the market for a MIDI controller as my son took his Akai MPK back to school

so if anyone has a suggestion for devices that seem to work well with Cardinal/VCV I'd be happy to know.
thanks

Not sure where you read this, but Cardinal certainly can be automated through the plugin parameters.

In Cardinal there is the special Host Params module that exposes these to Rack.

Thanks - on this page:
https://github.com/DISTRHO/Cardinal/blo ... ERENCES.md:

it says:
Arbitrary parameter automation: No

Also.. how the heck do we link text here? Can't seem to get it to show up properly...
