LAUNCH! VAST Dynamics - Vaporizer2 - Hybrid Wavetable Additive / Subtractive Synthesizer / Sampler / Workstation

[vastdynamics]

i've downloaded the last version this morning. the error message was in ableton 12 with the au version..
i cant test it now with the vst version because i've deinstalled the plugin now

I have a similar report from someone on Mac M1 who sent me an auval report which showed that it runs version 3.2.0 instead of 3.4.0. So please make sure that you do not have old versions in the typical folders /Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Component or ~ /Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Component. I am not saying that this is the issue in your case. But it would be helpful to rule that out. Thanks.

okay, i will check this! and reinstall it and then i will test the vst version too and in different daw's

Hi all,
I tried to fix the reported bugs asap and build a pre-release. In case you are willing to beta test this would be highly appreciated.

https://github.com/VASTDynamics/Vaporiz ... ag/v.3.4.1
Or direct download for Windows (I am building macOS later): https://github.com/VASTDynamics/Vaporiz ... _3.4.1.zip

Some fixes for reported issues:

• Added mono bus layout as this seems to be required in several hosts for VST3
• Smoothing of midi pitchbend and modwheel messages fixed
• MPE bend range fixed (96 semitones had to be set to get 48)
• Fixed unintentional mono processing in Comb filter FX
• Added a configuration setting for keyboard keys to plugin midi keyboard mapping plus base octave
• Tryed to fix a sporadic crash of VST3 in certain hosts on quick program change while playing (e.g. in Cakewalk, unconfirmed yet that it is fixed)
• Windows installer did not correctly install _SSE2* names when that was selected
• CLAP build in CMake (still experimental)

[andreasg]

yes, i will test your new release - if the mac version is build of course

[vastdynamics]

CMake pipeline is building right at the moment ...

[*]CLAP build in CMake (still experimental)[/list]

So building a clap version is possible, if I compile it myself? Does the CLAP version support per-voice-modulation?

Hello

Results of quick test on Win 10, first some good things:

1. Reason 12 now recognizes VST3 version
2. Tracktion Waveform 12 also recognizes VST3 version, but...

then some bad things:

3. Although Waveform 12 recognizes VST3 version, it is not working. You can load it in track, but it then gets exclamation mark - and does not open plugin window when you click on it:

Here's what it looks like in Plugin Manager:

It is interesting that VST3 version is detected as Audio Module Class, and not as Synth, like VST2 version. Also is worth noting that VST2 version gets wrong version number 3.4.0.0 , but when you open it - it is 3.4.1. So maybe Tracktion Plugin Manager have some own problems?

4. Again I managed to crash BandLab Cakewalk with VST3 version on rapidly changing presets in browser, which is not real-life situation, so maybe not a big deal.

That's is for now, I will continue test later in other hosts...

Hi, thank you. I see the same here in my local Waveform installation. The VST2 works okish in non-sandboxed mode. But when sandboxed the UI updates are completly broken and make it unusable. Another research topic

Update: Ah - when you set "DPI Awareness" it also runs sandboxed ...

One more find: I just found out, that the "SSE2 compatibility version" of the VST3 works and is detected without problems:

If you want to use this one then it can be installed with the "SSE2 version option" in the installer;

My suspicion is that Waveform 12 does not support AVX intrinsics in the sandbox!? But I need to confirm that.

VST3 version now loads in Samplitude Pro X7 Suite. Appears to be functioning properly.

VST3 version now scans in Tracktion Waveform Pro 12.5.11 but does not load - same as reported by neki, including shows up not as synth but as "Audio Module Class." Interestingly, Steinberg VST3 example noteexpressionsynth also shows up as this "Class." This Steinberg example ALSO fails to load in Waveform, so both failures to load could be a Tracktion Waveform problem.

noteexpressionsynth loads in Samplitude and appears to function properly.

Hi Dave, see the post before. Could you try to install the "SSE2 version" please?
Thanks,
Tobias

Tobias, your're right - VST3 SSE2 compatibility version works OK in Waveform 12, both with sandboxing, and without it.
And there's more, this version can handle my special stress test - changing/playing as many presets as I can in 60 seconds

Loads and works. It's also in the Category Instrument | Instrument Synth now.

[vastdynamics]

Great. And hm, maybe it's time to give up the 10% speed benefit of AVX and use the SSE2 version as standard going forward ...
