The KVR Developer Challenge 2026 Is Go

[Chiyosuke]

So I've only installed 2 of the plugins but played with one, which was Focus Time.

For the life of me, I don't know if I'm using it wrong or what, but using it in either midi mode is wonky when I'll press a note and won't hear a sound for many seconds (Midi Gate mode specifically; MIDI trigger mode doesn't work for me at all).

Standalone mode could benefit from DAW clock integration, because otherwise it just plays an unending, meandering and off-beat (or rather "out-of-context") loop.

Shout out to the developers though, this particular plugin screamed out at me to give a try and I can definitely see it doing big things with some tweaks (again, this could just be me being a dumbass and missing something).

I think that for such a large number of plugins, a cup system would be better, selecting the top 10 and then a final vote.

Thanks for your interest and testing it out

Ahh, depending on the length of the sample, it might be trying to retrig at the start of the loop so it will wait until the loop finishes playing and so it plays a bit. There are retriggering modes with instant so it will play when you activate a tab. This is done so it will be in sync when activating new tabs. When first testing this I added this but I've since added a loop mode (not parallel and series) and this should be much smoother. This mode does just uses each tab as a clean send then sums it up so there are no issues of needing to sync up to 13 loop instances of the same loop.

I've been meaning to make a video explaning this. I'll try to get on it asap.

What Daw are you using? Are you trying to use it in a track with other elements? Standalone mode should be DAW synced to the Daw Clock but I'll have another look at this. The way I was using it never had issues but I have not tested this inside other DAW elements yet, aka a track, so I'll try to smoothen this out.
