Novation Bass Station - no sound

Bass Sation isn't outputting any sound in Buzz. I can see its MIDI receive light blinking when playing so it's receiving the notes. Works fine in Reaper so the plugin isn't faulty. And other VSTi:s work fine, automapped or not.
Bass Station 2.1 32-bit
Latest Polac VST loader
Buzz 1498 32-bit
Win7 Ultimate 64-bit
Is there any (combination of) setting(s) in the plugin specific page of Polac's loader I should tick?

As far as I am aware, the only way to get sound in is through the ASIO Input machine.

What does that have to do with this. Im not trying to get sound INTO it, I'm trying to get sound OUT of it. It's a VSTi. I'm playing it via a MIDI keyboard, or entering notes into a pattern. Neither method produces any sound in Buzz.

Hi, really don't know what's happening. You could try out this:
- enable "process with fixed blocksize" in loader preferences
- load the bass station vsti as a separate process(hold shift key while loading the vsti)
If this doesn't help take a look at the debug console in Buzz, the loader logs crashes here.

Neither helps
Even the activity led on the machine stays off, even if both the keyboard and the MIDI light on the plugin GUI shows that notes are received.

I think an earlier bass station version did work fine some years ago. I'll try the demo version if there is one tomorrow.

I just tested the demo, the stereo versions of the bass station are working fine, however not the mono ones. I found out that the mono versions have some sort of bug, saying that they have stereo output, which messes up my output handling. I'll fix this soon.

Oh damn, didn't think of testing the stereo version...
Of course a bug report to Novation could be a good idea?

I would call it a bug. The vst has only one mono output, however if you query the output information for pin 0 it says it is stereo which is wrong. But usually the host should be able to handle this.
Code: Select all
VstPinProperties vstpin = {0};
bool b = Dispatcher(effGetOutputProperties, 0, 0, &vstpin, 0) != 0;
if (vstpin.flags&kVstPinIsStereo && effect->numOutputs == 1) // this is the case in bass station vst
{
vstpin.flags &= ~kVstPinIsStereo;
}
