sinkmusic or any other EXT user if you could test out this EXP-1 left channel issue it would be cool. See if FFC-1 has the same issue as EXP-1. I can't get any of my apps to recreate this. I've been tweakin knobs like crazy but it's behaving as expected. Anyone else see this issue in any other app? I'll download ext soon as well to test.

Hi VIeris, i tried your FFC-1, like you suggested, and it behaves the same way in Ext2 : i hear sound only on the left channel.
Your last EQ works fine, btw.

I think it must be using one input & one SC input. If you click the sidechain button and the sidechain listen button do you hear audio? If so this is what is happening. Why? i dont know. EXT issue. input 1/2 is the main input 3/4 are the sidechain inputs

You spotted it : When i click "side chain", it mutes audio.

If you click SC listen do you hear audio?

You should bring this up on the EXT board. 1/2 are the main inputs 3/4 are the side chains.

In EXT, the FFC-1 plugin has 4 mono inputs, and it's probably supposed to have two stereo inputs. If you put your output to the first input you get left channel, the second gives the right. 3/4 are the same but for the sidechain and you can hear them if you enable sidechain and turn key-listen on.

The earlier version of FFC-1 shows as having only one input and it works fine.

From another thread.

That might or might not work. I don't know why XT2 picks this up and some others don't.

Isn't EXT a modular environment? Can you not pick whatever configuration you need?

Errrhh... What is Ext2 is a wide discussion.... It is in beta since 1.5 years, and a LOT of features which were in Ext1.4 are not in Ext2 (yet?).

So, short long story : in Ext2, if you drag a plugin into the mixer (which didn't existed in Ext1.4), you don't have acess to it in modular view, so you can't do anything (in example, if it is a vocoder, you can't even connect a midi input to it).

You can't split a stereo output to two monos or link two monos to one stereo as far as I know. Would be a reasonable feature, though.

Wow thats a bummer. I debated ext2 when i was looking for a modular host but ended up picking Bidule. I think if EXT2 is going to claim "Modular environment" basic routing should be the very least you have control over.

Is that true? I've always found those connections to be fussy in eXT, but I assumed that was just my ignorance.

Is anyone else having trouble with these in SX3, or is inserting these on mono tracks a known issue? The SAT crashed one tune I was working on earlier today, and the EXP did the same thing a bit later, also on a mono track, if I'm not mistaken. Haven't tested this thoroughly, I had to get something out the door so I didn't have time....

Really dig these plugs for the most part, though, I have to say....

Cheers.

Yeah bduffy had problems with mono tracks in SX with my older plugz . I made him some mono versions. Do i need to do this again for these guys as well? I do wish sx detected stereo like other hosts.

Yes, I agree, it's idiotic. Hmmm. No, I don't think you should have to make mono versions. It's easy to throw them on a stereo group and feed to that. It's just good to know. Easier to handle it via groups than have twice as many plugs, methinks. After all, seems like the point of a lot these is to save time doing one's work, and not be so fussy.

All cool!

Now I have some time to check these out. Yay.

Cheers.
