Linux / Windows VSTi does NOT save plugin options

Help, Support & Bugs
1

Renoise v3.2.2, VSTi (VST seems to be fine) doesn’t save chosen plugin options.

For example, i have some problematic plugin like IK Multimedia MODO BASS (x64 / VST2), which by default uses:

[x] Use static processing buffers
[ ] Auto suspend plugin when silent
[x] Can run in multi processor environments

For this plugin to work properly and be actually usable best options would be:

[ ] Use static processing buffers
[x] Auto suspend plugin when silent
[x] Can run in multi processor environments

But when you set it and reload plugin - they will reset back to defaults above.
@taktik please take a look at that, this is a big problem. :face_with_thermometer:

btw that happens also on Windows version of Renoise as well, tested with x64 on VM with Windows 7

IK Multimedia MODO BASS is windows only so you run it in Linux with linvst or something?

Yep, precisely that, latest version (along with ~2000 other plugins) :upside_down_face:
I’m almost “official” tester for LinVST at that point :laughing:

Test it in a real machine and see if it does the same,i dont think Renoise developers can do anything about this if the plugin is not used as it was supposed to be. Linvst rocks i have almost any windows plugin available in solus os

Of course it does, Renoise behaves in properly set VM exactly same as real machine in that sense, just higher audio engine latency that’s all.

Well…That and also i’d rather kill myself than set Windows on real machine without sandboxing it :rofl:

Pretty sure they can, there’s nothing out of order with using bridges like LinVst, besides:

  1. It wasn’t always the case even on Windows, it started somewhere around v3.0 release i think, not sure about Mac since i don’t have one. Once upon a time there were no such problem at all. :pensive:

  2. It’s only VSTi (seems like all of them), not VST - so it definitely have nothing to do with LinVst or Linux / Windows specifically.

  3. It looks like a bug with saving VSTi options or reset for defaults on each new plugin load.

A few of those options are hardcoded for some plugins in order to make them work. So that’s why those options are getting reset.

“Use static processing buffers” used to be an issue with all “IK Multimedia” plugins. If it’s no longer we should of course remove that forced option.

Hmm…But why use hardcode for such cases anyway?
It’s impossible to predict future changes for plugins…

Let user decide / override, maybe allow some master-switch to allow user-config override for such cases…

Modo bass also loses its keyswitch settings in Renoise 3.2.4, so I have to set them again each time I open a song file using it

Was this fixed?

Not in LinVST (although i haven’t checked in a while, busy now), but fixed in yabridge
