that's accidental, it's just a filename. my hosts all support .vst, mostly it allows me to quickly launch hosts by clicking on a plugin.

it's possible to get any host to support it. you just need to edit the string used by your host (in the binary) to change it from .dll to .vst. in some cases extending the string is quite complicated and beyond the average hacker but not beyond most good ones.

what you probably "should" do: just rename it, i've fixed the archive already.

it worked when i renamed the .dll from within the archive,and not after having extracted it.

There is a bug with the unison voice multiplier, it seems.
As soon as i change it, ableton live 7 (and 8 beta) crashes.
Using the latest version 0.6.17.1 but also happened with 0.6.16.4

Oh, ok thanks.
But did you know about this bug? Is it solved in the latest version? Can't test it right now.

as far as i'm aware there is no bug, we'll have to figure it out. just make sure it occurs in the latest version and check to see if it occurs in multiple cases. (changing notelogic as well as unison, since they're actually the same thing. if it's specific to one host that's a red flag that it has something to do with the host...)

It doesn't happen in Reaper or Chainer so it's definitely something with Live. But if notelogic is actually the same thing, my problem is solved, because that doesn't crash.

well if something occurs when you change "voice multiplier" and not "notelogic" that is a serious issue, i'll need to look at the code. i'm out for a few more days, i'll be able to check the code and do debugging with you if the problem is verified when i get back.

Ok, i'll help when you're ready.

I can confirm that same crash behaviour in live 7. (as long as i can remember i've known this but never reported it) if i remeber correctly Live crashes as soon as a certain number of those voices is reached. 6 or 7 or so?

With the new version, if i click CTRL+left click a parameter to reset to default, the gui (branis) resets, but the parameter stays at the same value, so i have to click on it again to actually refresh the value by telling the synth i "moved" the parameter.

not the newest, i already fixed that.

regarding unison voices: what happens is the synth just allocates [unison X polyphony] of voices, then it uses each set of [unison] voices to play the same notes. the same system can be used for chords, stereo effects, layering and so on. (rather than detuning the extra voices, they could use different patches)

there should be no difference between for example allocating 32 polyphony, and using 4 polyphony and 8 unison. so, you can start by testing that.

if you can never get the crash to happen by changing the polyphony, it's probably some mistake with the mutex (lock, unlock) or something. i'll need to put the voice allocation calls in common between the two parameters into a single function and make sure they're exactly the same.

Could it be that the velocity modulation is broken?
I tried to route velocity to e.g. Amplitude Out, but it has no effect.
It works with version 0.6.16.4

Also, if I have another skin than your old Default-skin (eg 0.6.16.4) midi mapping doesn't work, either.

Or is it only me?

kind regards,

simonfloris

btw: the synth sounds great!

i'm working on fixing that, i'm just busy lately so i'm not sure when i'll make another release. hopefully i can get it out soon but it might be a week or two. a month or two in the worst case.

i've actually got it mostly fixed, i might in fact fix it tonight.

hopefully sooner than later.

if you really need velocity, try the 15th alpha series, i think those still worked. otherwise try 14, or 13. one of those definitely still had it working.

XHip--Please finish your synth!!
