HoRNet Valvola - FREE 'vacuum tube amplifier' Christmas gift

[HoRNet]

Hmm, Version 1.0.1 is pretty much unusable for me in Cubase 11/Win/VST3. Completely kills the audio, leaving just a bit of stutter… is that a known bug?

Yes it'a bug with VST3, we'll fix it by the end of the month. If you use the VST2 it'll work fine.

there is a new update
thanks!

some findings and ideas:

-) finding aka display bug or glitch:
when i have several valvola windows open at the same time
(say, i have 4 valvolvas in series inline in the channelstrip for different gainstaging)
and i resize one of those valvola windows all the others graphically freak out
scrambled letters, scrambled graphics

anybody else ?

AU, mac osx mojave, logic here

-) idea aka feature request:
i'd like to have a BIG valvola in the sense of optionally being able
to add more and more valvolas as i like
purpose: gain stageing wise, and also mix different valve types at different levels
all in one interface for easier tweaking access


here's how the resize induced glitchy valvola graphics look like:

Unfortunately this is a hard one to fix because it comes straight from the openGL implementation from one of our libraries. The fact is that the developers said that they won't fix it since Apple deprecated OpenGl long ago.
Now this does not happens on M1 Macs since we use Metal there, we tried to use it also on Intel Macs but we received many complains from people with older Macs (pre 2012) that were not able to run our plugins, so this is a compromise solution.

Nope, works great under Windows 11, and the VST3 is now working perfectly. Thanks Saverio

Nope, works great under Windows 11...

thanks for trying it out
seems to be a mac openGL-thing as saverio explained...

I Valvola. I've conjured some sweet bass tones, & annihilated transients from breakbeats without it sounding harsh. I love the way it breaks up & saturates. A much underrated plugin. Will be using it a lot. Thanks for the gift!
