kore player vst help

jhaysonn's icon

So, apparently I can't figure out anything on my own.

Goal: Load up a patch and have one of the Kore Player presets load.

Tried:
- pgmnames - tells me it's abyss flowers. obviously it can't find 'abyss' using a "read" msg so just to see if it's working I pick one with only one name. Doesn't work. This confuses me. Did I get the program name Abyss Flowers, but it's not really a loadable program? wha?

-I tried sending it "write" and wrote an abyss.fxp file. tried to then "read abyss.fxp", no luck.

-even though I know this wouldn't work when loading the patch, I even tried "set abyss" and then reading that. Nothing happened, not even an error.

I am pretty sure that if you save an fxp file it save the
current state of your VST.

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

If it is of any help, here is the patch I use with Kore.
Hope it is helpful.

neat patch! clean =)

Well, I don't know why, but it's working now. at least when it loads. I think the problem was that I had automated the x+y controller that blends the timbre's together on, so maybe it confused the write? :shrug: THANKS!

new problem - when building an application, it doesn't want to load kore.vst =,( this makes me sad. even when I add it explicitly.

ahhh!!!!! this is frustrating. the only way to load it is to use the "plug" message and select it in finder!!!! I can't even just "plug kore.vst"

selecting it in the finder does exactly the same, it also results in a message "plug filename" into [vst~]

"plug kore.vst" sounds pretty wrong btw, except your copy of kore is called "kore.vst.vst", which i doubt.

anytime I reference files I always use extensions. Why would using "plug kore.vst" put 2 .vst extensions on the request? Also, "plug kore.vst" works fine when using max/msp; not after I've build the application.

thanks for your help!

Not sure why "plug kore.vst" works.

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

This works for me as a patch and as a standalone, I have an actual Kore somewhere if we find out it makes a difference.

ok. using [vst~ kore] doesn't work. using "plug kore" doesn't work. my way using extensions doesn't work. Using standalone and 'search for missing files' doesn't work.

for some reason I got rid of my "kore.vst" and re-copied the original "Kore Player.vst" and used exactly what you put, and it works..... can someone explain why?

And why this happens?

"vst~: can't find plug-in, using default
vst~: The 1 parameter of Default is:
vst~: Gain
vst~: Kore Player.vst has 130 parameters"

I'm using a blank [vst~] object and the only time I load a vst~ is with the message "plug Kore Player"

thanks man. I really appreciate your help

"plug Kore Player" is syntactically wrong.

plug "Kore Player" is what you want. The vst~ object knows where your system VSTs are and to append the file extension, but for VSTs with multi word names the argument to load them must be a symbol.

The messages you see in the Max window are the result of initialising the vst~ object with no arguments and then correctly loading Kore Player.

@Andrew - yes, in the above example I should've listed it 'plug "Kore Player"', even after you gave me that example I missed it and was confused 0.o. Thanks for clarifying the max window also. I'm trying to make this patch as streamlined and light as possible. I really appreciate it!
