Help me with LibreArp vst

Hello my friend.I am so glad that you keep developing this super tool but i cant get it to work on Renoise in Linux.It loads fine as an instrument but it seems it is not sending midi to trigger other instruments in Renoise.It works great in Bitwig though

Same here in Windows 10 and latest version of Renoise. Gui opens up fine, but in the midi routing of the instrument in Renoise, noting is send to the destination instrument.

I’ve downloaded Renoise demo and it does not work for me either. I’ve opened an issue on LibreArp’s GitLab and will look into it. Maybe I’ll devise a workaround that will allow LibreArp to function properly in Renoise. :slight_smile:

Found the problem: weirdly enough, Renoise does not accept LibreArp’s MIDI output, when it does not have an active audio output channel. I have added a dummy one and it started working. The problem will be fixed in 2.1, which I’m hoping to release soon. I’ll post here when it’s out.

Its working ok but tell me something.I cant move the loop marker to the left if there are notes.Is this normal behavior?

Yes, that is currently the intended behaviour, you can’t put notes outside of the loop area. I’ve had complaints about that before, so maybe in a future update, I will change that.

Its a pain as is because i must delete notes move the marker in order to hear the other parts of the notes and how they could fit it to my song,notes that i really need so its killing the workflow.Make an interesting part that you like but delete notes to hear the others before then draw the previous deleted notes again and so on, you see where the problem is but you have done a marvelous job already so thanks

Yea, I understand why you would want to do it like that, so it is very likely that maybe some version 3.0 will have a better way of editing the loop.

Another issue is i cant save patterns or load.It gives me the option to save i input a name click ok but it does not save it

Update.Sorry my bad i must name the preset with .lapreset

There are many inconsistencies regarding when notes play i must do some further testing.Sometimes it ignores chord changes i dont know what is happening

Update. My bad again it does not skip notes i was sending the midi to a monophonic vst.All seems well

Oh it should be adding the .lapreset extension by itself. This used to be a problem on Linux and it was a bug in the framework LibreArp is based on, but on my end that has been fixed by an update. Which OS are you on?

I am on Solus Os 4.3 Gnome and it does not add .lapreset automatically but this is really not a problem for me

If you’re interested, a rough to-do list is on the issue tracker. You can also join our Matrix chat room where we discuss what’s next for the plugin and I put some sneak peek videos there from time to time :slight_smile:
