Redraw Limiter bug - Alternative?

Post by Youlean »

Apparently, there is a bug in 3.0.5 in VST editor open, and Redraw Limiter, where if you save VST plugin,and than save project with closed interface, and reload it again, it will pass triggers...
So, is there some alternative, can this be made with Ruby?
Thanks

Many DAWs load projects with VST GUIs open, so check if it's not opened in the background. If not, and you're more or less certain the problem is GUI activity detection then check this:

There is a "VST editor open" primitive, that should detect whether the GUI is closed. Check if it works correctly: hook it up to something that obviously affects the output (for example gain, or turn on some buzzer osc or something) and export it as VST, then try it - check it will also behave like if the GUI was open when it's not on reload. If it does, then the problem might be on DAW side.

Interfaces are closed on reload.

VST editor open was behaving similarly like now, but redraw limiter was working OK in 3.0.4.

I am pretty sure that this is a bug.

Load this in FL Studio, or export it in VST and test it...

Hi

It is working fine on my machines and in many different daws! I take that it should play a pulsed sine when in view and silent when hidden? thats what it does for me! maybe its a problem at your computer Youlean!

But, what happens when you save project and reopen it?

Made vst and tested in FL.
Works the first time.
Works after project save/reopen.
Stopped working when I selected it the mixer
Started working when i selected it in the mixer again.
Hope this helps.

tried it in a project in Cubase 7 then sonar, saved them and reloaded each, in Cubase it loaded with the sine constantly on but not pulsing, in SonarX3 it works just as it should!

Exactly. You shouldn't hear any sound if Redraw Limiter was working correctly.
So this is definitely bug. I am not the only one.
