Corssfad Loop Synth, bug?

[pboy]

Hi,

I'm using the wonderful Crossfade Loop Synth AU hosted by Bidule. Whenever I activate the effect chain that includes Crossfade Loop Synth, this plug-in is silent. If I open the GUI I can see that all settings are still the same as saved with the Bidule host session document, but they seem to be "offline"? Anyway, I found that I can get the plug-in back into service by clicking on the three "On" buttons inside the Drone Box to the right. I don't need to change anything, just click on each "On" buttons.

I take it you're using one of the "Gated By Notes" modes?

If the 'On' buttons are on when you save the Bidule doc, they should be on when you load it again. Are they not?

I don't know anything about any "gates" in the Crosssfade Loop Synth. What's that mode? Do you mean the rate shifting where the speed adjustment knobs, placed inside the Drone box, are labeled "Note 0", "Note 1" and "Note 2"? If so - yes, I'm using them all three. And - yes, their "On" state is saved with the host, but the audio of the plug-in is not working until I click all those three "On" buttons (not changing their state, just clicking them).

I'm just wondering if there is a trick to avoid this and not having to open the GUI and click three time the first time you use the plug-in in a concert?

"Gated By Notes" is an option of the record mode.
This could be a bug in Bidule. I use the plugin in Live with exactly this setup and it works fine (for me). Could you try it in Live, just to see if you notice the same problem with your setup?

Ok, thanks! No, I'm not using the "Gated By Notes" option of the record mode.

I took the Live trip and opened the same plug-in AU preset under Live 6.07 and sound was active right away. So it seems this is some bug in Bidule 0.95.

Reported this at the Bidule Bug forum. It's being taken care of :
