PolyGAS - Free VST Granular Advanced Synth

[jbraner]

That works for me.
Mind you, I'm not sure what you do with it from here

I have to sit and RTFM

I still cant load my own samples. I get an "this file is not supported" or something along that line, although they are wav. Files. Do i need to copy/paste the wav. Files into the "data" folder?

Possibly, the format of your file differs from required. Loading is allowed requires the file of a sample in the WAV or AIFF format, by digit capacity of 8, 16, 24 or 32 bits/sample, mono or a stereo. Files are supported only uncompressed by codecs.

The 'data' folder is intended for placement of wav-files by default, you can select also files from other folders, having pressed the button in the editor of samples and to select the required file which in a consequence will be imported to the current bank from the appeared select file dialog.

Thanks Vasyan. I'll try again.

Hi all, hi Vasyan,
Just wanted you to know that polygas runs fine in Bitwig Studio 2.1.3 (64-bit)
on a Windows 10 x64 Intel i5-3470 quad core @3.20 Ghz, 16 Gb Ram.
Able to load custom wav samples from folders outside the polygas folder.
One caveat: only one instance of polygas can be loaded at a time.
Not a criticism to the author as there are are far too many systems and DAWs for any one person to take into consideration, only meant as a test result.
As it is now, it is a beautiful piece of software deserving of a broader audience. So mr.Vasyan, you'll get my donation, and my thanks:). I sincerely hope some smart people with more skills than me step in and help to broaden the platforms and DAWs polygas can be implemented into.
best regards
Peter

I tried to create my own bank with a few presets of my own. I exported "vibes" from the default bank to use as a reference.

It didn't go too well. I got all sorts of instantiation errors, and SONAR crashed quite a few times. Also the bank editor "hung" when trying to save a bank with the imported vibes preset (before I tried to add my own presets).

The only way I could get this to work was:
- open the default bank
- clone the vibes preset
- import my own sample into the clone, and rename it
- save the bank as a new bank (default-2)
- clone the preset two more times and use my 2 other samples

This seems to be fine - so I don't know what was wrong before. It doesn't seem to like the vibes.wav that it exported, when I wanted to import the vibes preset in to my new (empty bank).

So - everything seems a little rough around the edges - but eventually we get there

I thank you Peter and others who entered donation in development of PolyGAS. And finance by the way is necessary as I live in the village and I have the computer which is 10 years old of AMD Athlon @2.01 Ghz, 1Gb Ram which needs an upgrade. Even PolyGAS works at such configuration acceptable. Finance for Macintosh's purchase is also necessary to be engaged in development of plug-ins under OS X.

To a question of one instance loading of a plug-in.
I tested a plug-in in the following DAW:
• FL Studio 8, 11 and 12 version.
• Sony ACID 7
• Abltone Live 9
• Reaper5.40
• Studio One 3,

In any of these DAW launched several instance of a plug-in.
There can be at you a problem because of Windows 10?
I tested in OS: Windows XP (32 and 64 bit), Windows 8.1 (64 bit), Linux Mint 17 (64 bit) with Wine.

For example, two instance of PolyGAS worked in FL studio 8, Windows XP (32 bit)


And in Studio One 3, Windows 8.1 (64 bit)

Thats cool.

Hi Vasyan,

now I can imagine where my problems in both mulab and waveform come from: I run win 7 64 bit, if you only tested on xp and win 8.....So I must admit win 7 is (at the moment) still a very common system (compared to win 8 not to talk about xp). So maybe would be worth to give it a try on that system too.

Unfortunately there is no opportunity to test in Windows 7 or Windows 10.
Having set in settings of Wine in Linux the mode of compatibility with Windows 7 does not influence operation of a plug-in at all.

What a pity . Strange that marazmator (dont know which version) worked some time ago on my system (must have been with mulab 6 or Tracktion 7), I was very impressed using it for ambience kind of backgrounds/athmospheres. Then it gets a bit out of my focus, but with polygas and the ambient effect that would make a real arsenal for that kind of stuff. Now the actual version crashes both mulab and waveform too like your other instruments/effects.

Anyone in here has it working on win 7, 64 bit, 64 bit daw (if please state which daw maybe I can give it a try with a demo version or anything) ?

No luck here. Win 7 x64. Crashes Reaper and Studio One.

First attempt on a Dell laptop from work, windows 7 64bit, PolyGAS 2.0:

I Can report that it works fine in FL Studio 12.4 using Windows 10.

Ah forgot about also reporting that, under Windows 10 ( Creators Update ) PolyGAS runs in Reaper 64bit / Renoise 3.1 64bit and FLStudio 12.5 [build 58].
Did manage to make it crash once while fiddling with short duration and some other parameters, not sure what exactly the trigger was.
