Image Line's Drumaxx (https://www.image-line.com/plugins/Synths/Drumaxx/) doesn't remember its state. Re-openig edit sets Drumaxx to the default state. Loading preset solves the problem for one session only. Unfortunately it's a paid plugin. (My other DAWs recall Drumaxx without any issue.)

Helix Native (V1.92) worked fine until yesterday. (WF10 pro). Though freezing that track was always gone reopening WV.
Now my last recording kills WV instantly, it restarts and shuts down when i try to open the Edit. Used the VST3-Version, reinstalled with VST2-Version , still not running.

Rescanning results in Helix marked red "failed to initilalise correctly".
How can i recover my edit?
Cheers

I can confirm this. I tested in WF9 and T6 and it was the same. Drumaxx in can't restore settings in Tracktion or Waveform.

I also have problems with restoring settings of other Image-Line VSTs but that seems to be a WF11-only issue. Sakura and Toxic Biohazard don't seem to load settings from a WF11 edit properly. WF9 loads them without any problems.

The SliceEx GUI can only be opened once. After that it becomes just a tiny little black rectangle.

Image-Line plugins are special. I'm thinking of actually submitting to TSC but I don't know if I should focus on just one issue or all of them...

Windows 10
Waveform Version 10.4.2 64-bit

I am having problems using the VST3 versions of the following Softube plugins: Modular, Heartbeat, TSAR-1R, Vintage Amp Room.

Waveform detects the plugins normally and loads without crashing. The VST version work as expected, but lack some functionality. VST3 version appear to load normally, and the GUI is responsive, but no output is produced.

All of the VST and VST3 versions pass validation ("ALL TESTS PASSED"). I don't have the knowledge to interpret the body of the validation reports. Here is the report for TSAR-1R as an example:

I appreciate that Softube does not test its plugins in Waveform and is unlikely to address this from their side. Hugely grateful for any suggestions.

Hi I found a couple of minor issues when working with Xfer Nerve in Waveform Pro 11 x64 on Windows 10.

• Tooltips on pads not showing

• Clicking in Nerve plugin window blocks Waveform hotkeys

The first one is east to recreate as you just load Nerve up in Waveform then hover the mouse cursor over one of the pads and it should show a tooltip, but doesn't show anything.

The second one can be recreated by clicking anywhere within the Nerve then press space bar and I would expect Waveform to playback, but it seems like Nerve is blocking the hotkey. If I click anywhere else in the Waveform main window and then press space bar it then works correctly.

I don't seem to have these issues in FLStudio so I'm guessing it's Waveform related?

Found another one with TAL-Software's TAL-Sampler where you drag a sample from the files panel to the layer it just adds the sample on to the arrange view like the plugin window doesn't exist. In FLStudio the layer lights up when you drag the sample over to signify you are dropping a sample.

Alas back to strike vst, I had no issues in w10 running strike however in w11 it plays back fine, but renders out of synch. Its not even out of time but the rendered version bears no resemblance to what you hear whilst working on the tune.

My workaround is to use the inbuilt midi generator in strike to get the midi (having to quantise and delete two beats at the start of the midi track) and play it back through strike. It works but is time consuming and strike worked fine in w10.

Anyone else experiencing this?

VST3 Amplesound Metal serie : pitchbend and modwheel don’t work with Waveform...
(It works with Cakewalk)

VST2s work.

I think that drag and drop from the Files panel only works for TSC's own plugins*, not 3rd party. You should be able to drag and drop from the OS's file browser into 3rd party plugins.

It's a limitation for sure, but it's not a bug in either TAL-Sampler of Waveform as far as I can tell.

* It works for Sampler, Multi Sampler, Drum Sampler and Micro Drum Sampler.

I found a fix for this. If you use the folder icon from the project browser it will work correctly. I think by dragging this it is just sending a traditional file drag and drop message to the plugin rather than the one that waveform uses.

Huh. That's something I wish I had known years ago. Thanks for that!

A plugin by Organic Drum Loops, OCK-VST. Free drum plugin, is only vst3, on mac: crashes on reopening project when default settings are changed and saved. Need to be disabled to open project again. On windows: does not crash, but changes to settings are not saved on reopening.

This is Waveform 9 on windows 10 and macbook pro, Catalina

Problem with the Korg Wavestation Plugin on windows, there is no GUI available.

i reported this to the support nearly a month ago with all the specs

all plugIns, including Wavestation plugin, runs fine in reaper on the same machine.

Have you tried un-sandboxing it?
