Seems like an issue...
I've compared the frequencies with my own and they are in tune at least, a couple of things can be happening:
- from your screenshot it only measures until 11k Hz, so the last registered is around 10k
- in my code I am using `if (frequency > 0.48 * samplerate) ignore partial`; Are you on 22050 samplerate or less?
- some other issue I have no idea what it is
The good news is that its not totally broken, above 10kHz is barely audible anyway, still would be good to have no issues with the synth.
Thanks for reporting,

Other models show all partials , screenshot strings with 32 partials

Yes but your meter only goes to 11kHz or am I missing something? Try scrolling the meter when using the marimba, you should see partials up to 22kHz (marimba has less than 32 partials, its the only model that was made through spectral analysis), on squared you should see more up to 44Khz, let me know if scrolling the analyzer fixes it.

Really nice work. So far so good on a weak W10 machine.

No It goes up to 22Khz , 11Khz is just the last vertical indicator on the gui plot , everything beyond that is 11Khz <tilr8 wrote: Sat Feb 15, 2025 11:53 pm Yes but your meter only goes to 11kHz or am I missing something?

Did you try removing quarantine flags using:
Then reload logic? Let me know if it works for you.
PS - reemember to set the appropriate path to the files, example /my/dir/RipplerX.component
Code: Select all
sudo xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine RipplerX.component
sudo xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine RipplerX.vst3
PS - reemember to set the appropriate path to the files, example /my/dir/RipplerX.component

I am not sure, try
Wherever the plugin is installed, please check if RipplerX.component is on that dir (and that the dir exists).
I don't have a Mac so its difficult for me to help.
Let me know if it works.

yes - now even 3 times...
still to no avail
i guess my system (mojave) might be too old
in my experience with other plugins and similar problems
it might be a switch in the juce library or something along that....
