Element

Has Potential. At the moment It does not recognize several plugins. There is also no way to load banks or preset .just the default bnks are available. No running engine so that Instruments that depend on that do not workd-like Rps or Blue arp or PM2. lso crashes from time to time. Still I like it and think it will provide a good daw in the future.

You should try the most recent version which is much better than what you describe above.

Yesterday the hold function of the MIDI keyboard worked like it should, today its just not holding the note.

this is one very important functionality of this software for me.

How does one go about fixing that?

Weird it'd just stop working. Bugs can be reported @ https://github.com/kushview/element/issues if I don't get to it first.

Great slim piece of software. I use it on a macOS 10.13 with soundflower to have a global equalizer/effect chainer. It saves presets and all in all it's very handy software.

it is still in beta, and as such, has many bugs:

- VST3 plugins do not receive pitch bend
- VST plugins with a data entry popup get frozen (window hidden under source window)
- no popup to find a VST plugin if it is missing on the system when sharing presets
- point above happens if you share presets with a freind and he has a VST installed in different location. Element just stores a list of absolute paths instead of plugin IDs

in the end I decided it is basically not usable until these bugs are fixed.
