buzz forums

i'd say it (rebuzz) is a new fork of buzz and most likely the future of buzz, as there hasn't been any work on "old new buzz" since 2016 and from what i understand there won't be anymore work done there. i hope that one day the whole code base is open sourced so that we can move on and imp...

btw, let me know when the native part (buzzengine32/64?) is open source, i'd like to make some changes and extend machineinterface.h

hi polac, is there a way i can get PVST to call effGetParameterProperties? it would be nice to get parameter names with more than 8 chars in a safe way. it doesn't feel right to just write more than 8 chars on a call to effGetParamName, but apparently many plugins do this? Anyway, VstParameterPrope...

It only occurs if you delete the Polac VST machine in machine view, if you switch to a different plugin instead via right-click -> plugins->whatever hey, speculation on my part but what i know is this: IIRC, if you delete the pvst machine in machine view, the destructors are not called, because the...

maybe i'm missunderstanding something: are you trying to send midi to an external device or to another machine? in the MIDI submenu there is an entry for "Internal MIDI", which i suppose is for sending midi to other plugins. just tested that, it works. for external, maybe you need to check...

yeah i'm using it for testing too. it's great for that. i dabbled a little bit more with it, looks like you can target notes on the different buzz-tracks with it, so that's pretty cool if you have several note expressions you want to put on the same note. ultimately this is a feature that desperatel...

Polac, i just wanted to say THANK YOU for implementing Note Expressions in PVST. i just discovered this on accident while trying to debug this midi stuff. it doesn't seem documented yet, but if a VST3 exposes note expressions, you can actually send them using pvst: note_expressions.png this is aweso...

Hi i think i found a bug in PVST with VST3: getMidiControllerAssignment seems to ignore the channel if a VST does something like this in getMidiControllerAssignment(): if (channel == 1 && midiControllerNumber == Steinberg::Vst::ControllerNumbers::kPitchBend) { id = id1; return Steinberg::kRe...

7. When I switch WASAPI to Exclusive mode, it goes full volume without being able to change it. this is expected behavior because exclusive mode is a bit-perfect stream and does not go through windows mixer. it's like ASIO, your audio driver may or may not offer volume control for it at the audio i...

wild guess but this looks like a denormals issue: is rebuzz built with DAZ flag? the other thing that looks very wrong is the lock time, suggesting that there is something suboptimal with multithreading. these numbers are so far off that it could also just be a debug build? anyway, i think its much ...

Is it a fresh installation? when i startet to use buzz again, i found out, that the instalaltion seems to be faulty i figured out, that one machine (have to do some research) was in the wrong folder (eg. an generator that was located in effects) i guess it was the 11 FM Machine... that was located ...

Settings / Engine / Multithreading

hey, yeah, having worked on that: progress on that is stuck because there is no way to access a play cursor for the wavetable, so it will always play from position zero, which is pretty useless. iirc there is also no way to specify which layer to play. that's why this never got done either. i've ask...

so i found another one of those strange GUI issues: https://dsp56300.wordpress.com/downloads/ with this, the patch browser does not open (you should be able to click on the patch name on the left and a popup menu should open, but it doesn't) also the right click menu anywhere in the GUI opens and im...

awesome!!!!

i will try to replicate this again, maybe the issue was on my end and i didn't realize that type-to-find-machine will go by the stringPluginName that didn't match. or maybe i scanned the wrong shell. i called the dll something like "test.vst3" and the stringPluginName "test2", bu...

oh, thanks a lot!

polac wrote: ↑Sat Mar 25, 2023 9:37 pm Odd, can you tell me which vst3 are not detected so i can test them?

it's a very simple (if you can call it that when using the abysmal vst3 sdk) test plugin i wrote, and as soon as the names matched pvst picked it up. it worked fine in vsthost regardless.

don't know what the problem is, but when i open that patch browser or other popups and slightly move the mouse, it instantly disappears again. i'm actually noticing a lot of strange GUI behavior in other plugins too (for example in vital, the filter presets dropdown never closes and gets stuck) and ...
