Audio Damage Discord glitching up in FL

[VanEck]

I have been experiencing some nasty glitches with Audio Damage "Discord" within FL Studio, versions 4.5 and 5. FL is my main host, so I have not experimented with it much in any other hosts.

Problem 1: I can tweak Discord until i have the desired effect I want. I save the song. I reopen FL and hit play... only to discover that it no longer sounds like it did when i saved it. Instead, Discord is making some nasty clipping/white noise sounds, even though it is not clipping at all. Even if you change it to a preset, or tweak the settings, that nasty sound is there and will not go away. I have not been able to determine what causes this, for it seems to happen at random. Sometimes you can simply reopen the song once or twice, and it will sound normal again... sometimes not. I did notice however that it happens more often when I have more than one instance of Discord in use. This happens in both FL 4.5 and 5 for me.

Problem 2: If I try to automate, or map the main pitch option to a controller, all hell breaks loose upon trying to export the song, or during playback of the saved automation. It will freeze up FL, but the audio will continue playing on. This also happens in both FL 4.5 and 5.

I have sent these issues to Audio Damage months ago. They replied quickly and said they would look into it, but never responded after that. I have logged into my account nearly every week since, expecting to see an updated version posted for registered customers, but nothing so far. I am just curious if anyone else has experienced these problems?

here are a few things to look into :

re: saved settings ...
look to see that you have enabled 'allow program editing' ,
in the drop down menu , of the fruity wrapper ...

re: playback/render issues ...
look to see that you have disabled 'reset plug-ins on transport' ,
in options > audio settings ...
