There seems to be some sort of issue with discoDSP Bliss in waveform 9 that doesn't occur in T6 (or a couple of other DAWs I tried). I am testing discoDSP Bliss loading a GM soundfont on both linux and windows. On both platforms the plugin populates the drop down with the list of instruments correctly on T6, but on w9 its doesn't start at number 1 but later in the list so you end up losing 36 of the instruments contained in the file. I have tested this plugin in other daws on both platforms, and it functions fine there as well.
Has anyone else encountered this issue with a plugin, or is there some sort of w9 setting that I am missing?
Thanks,
David

Are you using the program selection menu in the Waveform plugin properties in the controls section at the bottom of Waveform, or is the program menus part of the plugin UI?

zzz00m,
the program menus are part of the plugin UI. The list would be generated from the entries in the GM Soundfont file. I've tried the plugin in T6 and Fl Studio 12.5.1 on windows, both of which give the result in the first screen shot. I also have tried it on Linux T6 and qtractor...both of which are also successful. What I am really looking for is a way to play soundfonts (including GM) with the same plugin on windows and linux so that I can work on the on a project between the platforms without having to change out vsts, etc. I was hoping the multi-sampler would deal with it, but I haven't been able to figure out how to choose which instrument to load from the soundfont file. I have posted a question on here and also submitted a ticket but haven't received a response if the plugin can deal with multi instrument soundfont files. The plugin automatically loads the first one which is a piano. There doesn't seem to be many sampler plugins that are available for linux and windows. The discoDSP Bliss fits the bill to work around the (seemingly) limitation of tracktion's mulit-sampler, but there seems to be a problem with how the plugin is handled on waveform 9.
Thank you for the response,
David

Did you try the program selection menu in the host? Shown down at the bottom panel with the plugin properties.
Works great for me with OB-Xd from Disco DSP.

If this is opened from within and being populated by the plugin, I'm not sure we have any control over that...
Are you using the 32-bit version of the plugin in T6 and the 64-bit version in W9? Could that be the problem? What does the 64-bit version show in T6 64-bit?
I think you might have to ask the plugin devs how this menu is populated and where the offset comes from...

dRowAudio,
Its the same 64 bit version plugin loaded into 64bit T6 and 64 bit W9, and same file used for the test. I can post an question about with them as well. The hiccup to my way of thinking is it functions ok on windows fl studio 64bit, windows t6 64bit, different behavour in w9 64bit. Same versions of plugin 64 bit on Linux...fine on t6 64bit, fine on qtractor 64 bit, not so on w9 64bit. It seems that the host behavour is somehow different when dealing with the same plugin on w9 than how it did on t6, or is currently in fl studio. same for the test cases on 64 bit linux.
I would be more than happy to post a question on discodsp's site. Can you let me know what the technical details are that you would need to know that might tell us whats being handled differently between t6/w9, and if there is something to be done about it.
thanks for your efforts,
David

It's just that the plugin is called "Bliss" in T6 and "Bliss64" in W9 from your screenshot..lidxv0n wrote:Its the same 64 bit version plugin loaded into 64bit T6 and 64 bit W9, and same file used for the test.
I don't really know, it depends on how they're populating the menu. I guess just ask them the same question you did here, why does the menu appear different on W9 to T6. What influences the menu's contents?lidxv0n wrote:I would be more than happy to post a question on discodsp's site.

The only other thing I can think of is that you've either got a MIDI input assigned or MIDI clip that is sending a program change message to the plugin and hence forcing the menu to populate in a different way.
If you add the plugin to a new track with no input and no content, does it still have the missing first items?
