New PPG Wave 2.2V - Several issues STILL UNFIXED!! :(

[Aloysius]

I would be happy if members would not start a new thread for every waldor fEdition 2 bug.
It would be nice if you could use one thread like this one:

The main tester of Waldorf is also on this forum, so I hope that he finally takes notice ... !
 

It is perfectly ok to complain here about the problems with PPG. And this is what the op did imho, not asking tech support. The new Waldorf Edition has been discussed at length here already with many people pointing out all kind of problems with it. Also Ingonator is here to forward all that stuff to Waldorf.

Yes, but he is a "tester". Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but he is not Waldorf tech support, and he may have limited access to their internal information.

You can always complain about whatever you want here. That's a given. But it sounded to me like the OP was looking for some resolution. So, instead of waiting for someone to "forward all that stuff" to Waldorf, why not just contact them directly? You won't have to worry about someone else forwarding your issue (along with who knows how many others) and you won't have to wait for that one person to get a response back to you. Contact the developer yourself, and if you're upset with them (which is understandable, given what you're saying about the synth), take out some frustration on them!

As you can see, Ingonator has many Waldorf-related forums where he's trying to help. I was just suggesting that it may be considerably faster and more efficient to contact the developer directly. But regardless of what you do, I wish you luck in getting it resolved.

I am the waldorf Beta forum manager. I am responsible for the beta testers, testing myself, collecting bug reports from the testers and check those where possible. Finally i forward reports to the developer and discuss with him wher necessary (if possible send reports as a short step by step procedure).

Anyway usally customers should send bugs to official Waldorf support (this is not done by me) and they will forward those to me which i and/or the testers should check (ans/or send this to the developer).

 
I find it pointless to contact Waldorf Support, because every time I did that they behaved like a bunch of jerks to me! Their responses were, without exception, rude and not forthcoming. (They could very well do with a course in customer relations!)
So I did hope you were taking note of the long, long time bugs I mentioned.

BTW. PPG works fine in VSTHost for me too, but I need Chainer for the randomizer!
You listed Tobybear MiniHost too to be working, but that is ASIO only and that doesn't work well on my system (Win 7, 32)

You know, in older versions of PPG everything DID work fine, but Waldorf won't allow me to download an older version!

The beta team really screwed the pooch on this one.

[Kriminal]

Looks like they need a new manager...

Maybe I've missed it. But did Waldorf provide any extra presets for the PPG Wave V2.

Any idea on where to get more presets for PPG Wave V 2?

Would you have done it better? Such comments are always easy if you were not involved...

yes. much better.

and I'm not sure why you deleted/edited your post where you basically say these bugs aren't important

If it will help, for future reference, I have Sonar X3, X2 and X1 (64-bit and 32-bit), and I could test Waldorf Edition or whatever else you want.

That said, PPG Wave 2.V and 3.V work fine for me in general, but I haven't tried to replicate what the OP mentioned.

If you want an uptodate alternative to Chainer, with a better randomiser, try Cantabile.

That's only in the (most expensive!) 'Performer' version.

OTOH, I did read somewhere someone mentioned using a 'scripting language' in Reaper to make a randomizer, but I know nothing about that and he didn't give an example.
