nym wrote:i found a looping issue with the bidirectional and reverse loop modes.

shown in gif: the expected behavior from all loop modes (loop start/end = 100% of sample duration, loop continues until NOTEOFF).

then, i change loopmode to bidirectional. note: the sample plays through 1 iteration of the sample and then stops. once i reduce the loop end parameter to anything less than 100% of the sample duration, the loop continues as expected.

bug tldr: can't loop full sample duration in bidirectional/reverse loop mode

Yep, also noticed this. Will add to the bug fix list.

Layering synths into Bliss is it possible.
I tried loading Maschine with 2 vsts loaded to experiment but nothing passed into bliss.
Any workarounds of the top of your heads?

Try using another option like Bidule, EneryXT or Chainer.

i'm finding that the more instances of Bliss that are running, the slower REAPER responds to "play" messages or, while playing, to "play from marker X" messages. removing BLiss from the project solves this issue.

anyone care to make a troubleshooting suggestion?

Will investigate. In the meanwhile plenty of 1.0.0 bugs have been fixed.

Good idea, Will try Nryv or demo the others :~)

2016 wishlist:
1. Make the file-loading panel open into a regular window

2. Show a progress indicator during sampling

3. Some tips on sampling settings good for arppegiated sounds, long-release pads,
sounds with long reverb tails, perhaps Discovery Pro sounds used as examples
we could tinker with.
Cheers

Nice ones, thank you. 2 is already set for 1.1.0 and for 3 we have been thinking about making a presets drop down for the VSTi sampling window.

upon installing the new version and removing the previous, it looks like bliss can't find my license file and tells me it's in demo mode...would love to be able to load the license file from within bliss to resolve this issue. i didn't uninstall bliss before upgrading, perhaps that's where i went wrong.

also and possibly related, i had 2 different installs of bliss (beta 6 and now what is referring to itself as beta 7) and i think my previous crashes were on beta 6. sorry about that.

Same here, just sent George an email.

Strange. Will check.

I uninstalled the previous (beta) version first then installed v1.0 - but that was mainly to keep to uninstall files from getting out of-hand.

My licence file here has a .txt extension and was found / used OK - could that be relevant?

But I have got into the habit of ZIpping up my Documents\discoDSP\Bliss folder, just in case. And, the installer still resets the settings.xml file.

george · Post by **george** » Sun Dec 27, 2015 5:18 pm

We're still investigating. Extesions with .dat or .txt should be valid.

Settings are reset on every reinstall, and it shouldn't be like that, will be fixed on next update.

george · Post by **george** » Sun Dec 27, 2015 8:48 pm

Ok, we will be releasing 1.0.1 very soon with bug fixes including the license expiration one. Sorry for this inconvenience.

george · Post by **george** » Tue Dec 29, 2015 12:19 pm

1.0.1 ready!

Fixed problem with 1.0.0 still remembering for beta expiration.
Fixed wave window redraw when deleting zones from the sample editor.
Fixed drawing of wheels by making the handle more visible.
Fixed avoid loading plugins with no MIDI inputs in plugin host.
Fixed high CPU usage with wave redraw in Mac OS X with HiDPI displays.
Fixed alert windows controls dimensions now respect global GUI scale factor.
Fixed installer overwriting settings.xml.
Changed sanity check metadata in wave files when wrong note/velocity ranges are specified.
Changed avoid using program name and slot in SFZ sample export (use only zone name and append numbers when already existing).

Download at http://www.discodsp.com/bliss and http://www.discodsp.com/members/ for registered customers. Cheers!
