PolacVst GetInstrumentList
Posted: Tue Jun 30, 2020 1:54 pm
So I'm currently developing my machine grouping machine - (see my, rather unhelpfully titled, "Hello", forum thread)
The idea is that machines can be grouped together into a single machine, and that single machine behaves like a mini-buzz.
At the moment I'm getting a list of all the buzz machines from the index file. And all the entries marked * I query the machine for sub-entries using GetInstrumentList().
It appears that PolacVst only likes having this called once. If called again, then no entries are returned. Since Buzz has called this prior to me calling it, then I don't get the instrument list. Why is PolacVst limited this way?
I present the offending assembly:
In English - there is some code in PolacVST GetInstrumentList that does this:
If some_flag == 0 then
{
do_proper_GetInstrumentList()
set some_flag to 1
}
my question is why? and can it be removed? Or is there another way to get the instrument list from polacVST?
