Charlatan³ Free VA synth updated to v3.3.2 (Win/Linux)

Maybe aftertouch too?
I tried to modulate some parameters with key pressure in Studio One, using a Keyboard that supports and sends Mono Aftertouch.
I assigned it to modulate 75% Cutoff, pan & Amp envelope gain (setting values to 25% to be able to hear changes). No changes found in sound.
I haven't checked on other plug-ins since my last system rebuilt, but the MIDI monitor showed received messages.

I tried to put all the presets in a single folder using category, username & preset name & I've found that the text overlaps in the preset browser. It seems to have a fixed length for the text.

Yes, column width is fixed, so better keep the preset name to a reasonable length. On the long term, I have planned improvements to the preset browser like nested folders and metadata, which should make naming patterns like you suggested obsolete. Until then, it might be a good idea to move any redundant info like username or category into the folder name, like "[User] Leads".

Also, as someone mentioned earlier in the thread, scroll bars are currently missing, so the number of presets shown per folder is limited, as is the number of folders...

Do you plan to make the GUI scale up for high resolution screens?

Do you plan to make the GUI scale up for high resolution screens?

I'm interested in supporting this, but I suspect this will require rewriting the whole graphics stack to use GPU accelerated rendering, maybe even vector-based, so nothing you should expect in the near future.

Surge & Shortcircuit were rewritten to allow resizing, being open source I think they're a good example. EvilDragon could explain it better than me...

Would be cool if DAW developers took care of VST GUI sizes so that plugin developers only provide one standardized GUI size and the DAW does the rescaling. Then VST developers could focus on the musical aspects of their plugins and users could scale any GUI to their liking.

Working just fine here, I tried both REAPER and Studio One. Maybe you have some kind of input filter enabled?

Sadly it's a problem with low keys aftertouch. C3 is fine with aftertouch, my old TritonLE needs a cleaning... sorry for the inconvenience.

If Charlatan 3 has CLAP support, does it allow for per-voice modulation?

Is it possible to just make the gui bitmap double the size and not have it scale at all? Or maybe just allow a regular sized bitmap and a 200% sized bitmap? Would that at least be doable?

That would compromise the plugin for a lot of people.

This is what it would look like on a typical 1366x768 laptop if it was 2x scale. Oscillator 2 doesn't even fit.


Even at the current size, it still does not fit on my screen.



Honestly it's not as small as you think it is. I imagine the plugin looks fine on 4K if the screen is large enough; you have the opportunity to have four Charlatan3 windows open at once, but your screen (and the pixel density) may simply be too small to utilize all that real estate. Perhaps you should have went for 1440p monitors instead to fit your workflow (and eyes) better.

Hi, I can't see the presets in the main panel and the presets panel doesn't show the directory estructure.... Maybe is a bug???
I use reaper 7.02
Thx

1366x768 is my resolution as well. And because of the DAW's VST window and toolbars that does not mean it should be 768 pixels high.

What's the problem with giving the choice of sizes in a menu ? All the u-he or Synapse audio plugins do that and you don't see people complain.
And saying to other users to get another screen doesn't help anyone, or we could reply that perhaps you should have chosen a laptop with 1440p screen too.
