The installer certainly needs more work!

What do you mean? The installer copy Themes and Banks folders to the right location already.

I uninstalled everything (I had the 1.5 installed too), and re-installed the new beta, and it's working now!

Edit: Fixed by also installing the VST3 version. Disregard the following.

It's there, and OBX-d didn't recognize its existence. Hence my question if it were possible to tell it "Yes, right here where you tell me it needs to be, it's already there." I also placed the directory in other likely places (since the plug doesn't believe itself).

Once again, here's the list of places the Themes directory lives:
c:\users\Mike\Documents\DiscoDSP\Themes (what the plug says)
c:\users\Mike\Documents\DiscoDSP\OBX-d\Themes (what you just said)
c:\Program Files\discoDSP\Themes
d:\Mike\Documents\DiscoDSP\Themes
d:\Mike\Documents\DiscoDSP\OBX-d\Themes
d:\Mike\Documents\OBX-d\Themes
d:\audio\VstPlugins\OB-Xd\Themes
d:\audio\VstPlugins\DiscoDSP\Themes
d:\audio\VstPlugins\DiscoDSP\OB-Xd\Themes

and none were recognized. I've set Documents to be the entire d:\ drive, but my registry insists it's in c:\Users\Mike\Documents, so I copied it there as well. I even tried in the Program Files directory and the VstPlugins directory for shits and giggles.

Since my first post, I've also tried
d:\DiscoDSP\Themes
d:\DiscoDSP\OBX-d\Themes
and had the same lack of result.

The plug itself says "Documents > DiscoDSP > Themes," but you say it's "User > Documents > discoDSP > OB-Xd > Themes." No worries; I've copied it to both places (and in all Documents directories), and the plug recognizes none of them. Well, not for me, at least!

Anyway, I don't blame you for playing the "blame the user" game; I've worked IT support and know that things like this are most commonly an ID10T or PEBCAK error. I'll be glad to post screenies to demonstrate that things are exactly as I say.

btw, I'm using the VST2 version; VST3 gives my DAW indigestion.

Jafo · Post by **Jafo** » Tue Jul 21, 2020 5:36 pm

Hunh, installing just the VST3 and standalone works fine. So does installing all three. Maybe there's something that gets set in the VST3 version the other two are looking at/for? No worries; fewmets doth occur.

OB-Xd looks at user Documents folder https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/hel ... nts-folder maybe your system got funky?

Can users with high CPU usage moving knobs please confirm everything is OK now? Thanks.

EvilDragon · Post by **EvilDragon** » Wed Jul 22, 2020 9:18 am

Testing!!!

EDIT: Awesome! No CPU spike at all anymore, and playhead is not freezing either.

Thanks for the report

We've got a solid 2.0 release candidate now.

EvilDragon · Post by **EvilDragon** » Wed Jul 22, 2020 9:24 am

I also noticed that the presets are now reported to the host in VST3 (didn't test VST2 but I assume it's the same). One minor bug, though - the list isn't refreshed when loading a different .fxb. Can this be done?

I think it's a bug in JUCE framework because the issue doesn't happen in VST2 but it will be addressed in 2.1.
