E-Phonic Invader 2 v1.0.11 (WIN / OSX)

[e-phonic]

What a great synth!
The presets are also very well made.

@ e-phonic
Unfortunately the beta version crashes Cubase as soon as I try to close the gui (latest version of Windows 10 and Cubase Pro 11)
I have already send a report at info@e-phonic.com with my specs

I just installed the Cubase 11 Elements demo (win) and the 'Steinberg VST3 Plugin Test Host' and cannot reproduce the issue you are reporting.
Can anyone using Cubase 11 confirm this crash? It would be nice to tackle this issue for the next release.

Just checked Cubase 10.5 Pro on Windows and it was fine here too.

After reading your post I tried again.
I get the same result

For anyone willing to try these are the steps I do on my system:
1. Open Cubase 11
2. Create a new project
3. Open an instance of Invader (with F11)
4. Open the gui of Invader (if it's not already open)
5. Close the gui of invader: the gui does not close and Cubase freezes
It can only be closed through the Windows Task Manager

I do not use Cubase 10.5 but Cubase 11
Unfortunately Cubase does not write a crash dump after it freezes in this particular case
So I don't know where I could look.
Also I have no other plugin in use in Cubase when I create a new project

[e-phonic]

I would expect Cubase 11 Elements to have the same behaviour as the full Cubase 11 version. It all seems to work fine here, even when using UI scaling modes.
Can anyone else with Cubase 11 try this to confirm this is an issue?

In the meantime I was able to create a crash dump with the Microsoft utility "ProcDump64"
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysint ... s/procdump

I have tried to send you the crash dump but as the file is 70MB the e-mail has been rejected.
Do you have any interest in this Crash Dump and if yes where can I send it?

Closing the GUI in Reaper works fine, no crash or anything.

Thanks

A question: I just moved my presets folder from the desktop (my old 1.02 demo version folder) to the final folder, so the plugin did not find them, but not show the Select Preset Folder link either. How do I tell the plugin where I moved the folder?

[e-phonic]

In the menu -> Select preset folder

[e-crooner]

Oh, there it was hiding

And the synth does only allow one folder level within Presets, right?
I noticed that a Bass sub-folder I created within my own User Patches folder is not shown in the browser...

[e-phonic]

Yes, it scans one level in the main folder atm.

Anything that can be done to resolve this?



Using Reaper's Learn functionality to MIDI Learn the [stepped] controls on my Roland System-8.

If I assign that same knob to Unison Voices, I don't get any weird scrolling behavior like above. So I'm hoping a similar approach can be taken for the other graphical elements.

Yes, I can reproduce the issue now. I will look in to it for next release.

Thank you! Let the fun begin

Great news. Thanks! And thanks for incorporating so many of the suggestions to date. Sometimes little things like Alt to snap to semi-tones and arrow keys to navigate through presets make a big difference. Much appreciated!
