Thank you! Let me know if you find any issues or have any improvements to suggest.

Also, I'm currently looking for a preset pack and it would be great to have the community involved.

You can simply press Share at the bottom, and paste it here with your artist and preset name so I can make a selection, and it's included in the release:

Example:
Vald Labs - Intense Pluck (avoid special characters)
TRS1:EwADiIMkrhO3yI4AVENR20EAyABpfsJN2Uk (you can load this one yourselves, copy and the press paste on the interface)

Thanks

:o How does this work?

Will there be a desktop AU version, or will the AUv3 work in Mac as well as iOS?

Starting a new project fixed the latency, but the stuck notes and long load times for algorithms are still happening. It seems like the stuck notes might be related to the long load times, as once the algorithms are loaded, the notes get unstuck, although I got stuck notes on the wavetabl even when not switching algorithms. Changing the TIM while on SuprSaw and some other algorithms causes a long period of silence. Changing voicing modes (poly, mono, uni) causes a long period of silence. Am I correct that the unison modes provide polyphony but with stacked voices? That would explain why I thought they weren't working.

Ok, this weekend I will definitely install and try with that DAW - do you have some other to test it as well? The algorithm changes should be instant (you can even control them with the LFO!)

For sure it's DAW related, but I will look into it, and again thanks for flagging it, that was unexpected but we'll figure the issue out :)

Could you try to download again and reinstall? You were one of the first ones to install it and there was a small patch done in the meantime, not sure if you downloaded that version. Let me know how it performs, thank you.

Seems to be an interface issue. If I change the algorithm and immediately close the window, it works immediately. Closing the window also fixes the stuck notes. This is with V1.1.0.

I am planning on developing my own but this one does the trick perfectly well:
https://maxforlive.com/library/device/2 ... -cc-mapper

Easier to explain in a capture:

You need to send a MOD to any CC, add the CCMapper to Tresse's channel (or any other VST), then select the same CC's you selected on the MOD outputs. You then have to click the small arrow close to the wrench button to open all the internal parameters, and click first on MAP on the CC mapper, and on any of the parameters. Now, any output from Vekte's MOD will automate any parameter. If 4 mods are not enough (they usually are, but who am I to judge :D), you can always use a second slot (top row on Vekte) and point to the same midi channel; this way you not only have the possibility to add more notes for variations on that same channel (overlaid with the first slot notes) but also 4 more mod lanes which you can map. If you want to go absolutely wild, you can even point all 16 to the same channel 8)

ok, good diagnose - might be related to how the interface is being rendered, which somehow could not be totally compatible with Luna. has this happened before with any other VST you've tried or first time?

It's the first time. Interestingly, if I load a sub-host like Element and then load Tresse into it, the problem goes away.

Am experiencing some lag, but in my case it might well be the system I put it on (older, slower).
I may move it to a substantially more robust system to see how much difference that makes.

Definitely many interesting sounds out of this. Still exploring.

Also experience some lag here on macOS 15.7.7
