Softube Modular

[WasteLand]

bugbrand is a real modular brand... and they have a weevil module? didn't ssee it..

There was briefly a weevil module for the bugbrand modular. Weevils, though, were originally a series/range/family of standalone boxes that bugbrand made before they started making a modular system. I dont have the module version, but I have several standalones.

Im pretty sure there's no connection to the company making digital stuff for CherryModular.

i also don't think so there is any connection, i have contact with the developer, just a very simple beta tester i am. but perhaps he knew this module? i don't know i will ask him.

as i said i was always wondering why did he choose this name. or always, it sounded nice, at some point, i thought, o well, that how things go.

and thanks for the history! always nice to know!

thanks for the weevil clarification all

this is the softube modular thread, but i still make a link to the latest module he made, there is a new beta it will explode in possibilites, based, or better inspired by bytebeats. so the most digital oscillator in digital oscillator land??

(nice thing if you only want 1 or 2 modules, you can get nucleus for free, and use this thing)

but now back to softube modular, where i was experimenting again, after sometime not working with it, with the buchla 296e, still a beast of a module, for experimental stuff...
made 2 or 3 patches that were really nice, with it, strange patches, me like.

softube modular is still a playground. a big playground.

Has anyone ever had a DAW crash with a message box about a corrupt Doepfer VCF filter (or a different module) and the suggestion to reinstall it?

no, never. but that doesn't mean, someone else had the same experience.
could be due to a crash? but never saw this message.

reinstalling looks like the right way, does it work now properly?

I have not tested this yet. I have freezed and unloaded the plugin, so Cubase doesn't crash when I load the project
I sent 3 bug reports to Softube because of different crashes and they want to pass it to the developers. Apparently this are known problems...

i have also send bug reports, i don't know how many.. but this wasn't included. i am on windows. or it doesn't affect me (like that some users could no softube plugin at all, i never noticed that, i have only problems with softube modular when the vermona module came out, and the 2004 version of windows i installed later on.. so modular is crawling with bugs. does not work in maschine, when you want to use the ... vermona module... but it is pretty stable now in cubase, ableton, reaper, even bitwig i think. only loading a lot of vermona modules (stress testing) can crash the DAW, or the pluginhost of bitwig... already reported..)

New version, only bugfixes and optimizations (loading time and memory usage)

hange log for 2.5.9 (Released on Dec 8th, 2020)
Version 2.5.9

This release contains a lot of bug fixes for all products.

All products

Scanning of sub-plug-ins are done in the background resolving into shorter loading times for platform plugins such as Modular and Amp Room.
RAM memory usage has been improved in all plug-ins.
Fixed a critical issue in the next upcoming macOS Big Sur. Note that Softube plugins are still not fully qualified for Big Sur and this therefore does not guarantee compatibility.
Scanning of plug-ins have been improved and made less prone to crash.
Fixed an issue where the relative size of all VU-meters needles changed depending on if the plug-in was displayed on a high-resolution screen or a low-resolution screen.
Improved the shift/alt/ctrl functionality in Softube plug-ins in macOS.
Improved shift + drag functionality on Windows.
Improved the plugin GUI loading and made it less prone to crash. Has seen improvements in Ableton Live and Reaper.


Mutronics Mutator, OTO Biscuit 8-bit Effects, Passive-Active Pack, Summit Audio EQF-100, Summit Audio Grand Channel, Summit Audio TLA-100A, Tonelux Tilt and Tilt Live, Transient Shaper, Trident A-range

Added high resolution GUI resources.


Amp Room

Added 4 rooms to the RoomIR module.
Removed A/B states functionality due to future feature improvement.
Fixed a crash when using the software renderer (OpenGL off) in Amp Room.
Fixed a rare occurrence where cabs become invisible in parallel paths.


Console 1 / Console 1 Fader / Console 1 On-Screen Display

Added new "emulated touch" mode for Console 1 Fader. This should help users who have had problems with physical faders detecting touch indefinitely since they can now continue to use their Console 1 Fader without rebooting the Fader unit. For more information look in the Console 1 Fader manual.
Resolved an issue that could cause the UA console to crash when using Apollo Central.
Resolved a minor memory leak in the Console 1 On-Screen Display.
Fixed an issue which created a banner saying that "the OSD is already running" on Windows.
Fixed the scaling of the Console 1 logo when booting up the Console 1 On-Screen Display on macOS.
Resolved an issue where UAD LA3A and UAD 1176 could not be loaded in Console 1.


Amp Room, Eden WT800, Kerry King Signature, Marshall Bluesbreaker 1962, Marshall Cabinet Collection, Marshall JMP 2203, Marshall Plexi Super Lead 1959, Marshall Silver Jubilee 2555

Fixed an issue where audio processing becomes noisy and crackling when the plugin was used together with odd buffer sizes.


Modular / Vermona Random Rhythm

Resolved a Modular crash when browsing presets with the Vermona RR module in Ableton Live.
Fixed a rare occurrence where the Vermona RR module send out double triggers.


Parallels for Modular

Fixed a bug were the GUI and the output of the euclidean sequencer can show different things.


Preset Collection

Fixed a graphic glitch in Preset Collection on Windows which could occur when opening the plug-in window a second time.


Weiss EQ1

Fixed an issue with latency reporting in Wavelab which would create problems when bouncing tracks.

I hope this fixes the Vermona crash if a instance of the modular with a Vermona is loaded...

I also had massive problems with the VERMONA module in Ableton Live (10 & 11), but since the newest Softube update all works perfect!

Why VSTi version is so sluggish and FX VST version is pretty fast? I'm on win10

adding modules to the grid takes around 6 or 8 seconds which is nuts
imagine how long does it takes to make a patch to load preset with a lot of modules.
Damn it. Sounds good. Not user-friendly at all

do you have the latest version. you are on windows 10.

loading time of the VSTi was a long year (or more than a year..), very long, now much faster.

but i never encountered the sluggish behavior of adding modules or loading presets, you describe.

adding module, i can't use stopwatch, so quick, preset with a lot of modules, yes can take a second or 2.

the parellel modules, are slower to add, i mean the oscillator of parallel. but any other, quick.

so, what is happening on your system? EDIT: which DAW, grapichs card, CPU, something is messing with it..

Softube is gunna have a real problem selling modular when VCV for Daw comes out. Frankly, I think Voltage Modular will have a big problem too.

Sad because Softube Modular sounds amazing, but its slow as shit, and the rack UI is atrocious to work with

Have they said more about releasing VST3/AU/AAX? If not, there's a good chance that Softube's Modular will keep moving along.

Is VCV Rack available as a VST/AU/AAX plugin for DAWs?

VCV Rack can be fully considered a DAW itself rather than a “synthesizer plugin”, so Rack is a standalone application. However, due to overwhelming user demand, a new product called VCV Rack for DAWs will be available as a 64-bit VST2 plugin for around $99 shortly after Rack v2 is released. VST3/AU/AAX/LV2 versions might be released afterwards, but this is not yet confirmed. All Rack v2 plugins will be compatible with the plugin version of Rack. The standalone version of Rack v2 will continue to be free/open-source.

Yea I guess Mac users will get left out for a while. Kinda sucks, regardless.....Modular needs help

Softube needs to copy pretty much everything Cherry Audio did in terms of UI. Softube Modular sounds way, way better, but I recently bought Voltage Modular and it is SO much nicer to actually use.
