Several issues loading VSTs - wrong plugin loaded on restart - plugin interface not all visible - list of plugin names
Hello there,
I am having issues with vst~.
The most annoying one is how to keep the informatiuon for the plugin loaded. I manually load a plugin using "plug" message, but no matter what, saving the patch and reopening, opens another plugin.
Also, I could use the plugin name, but where can I find a list of qualified plugin names?
When I open the plugin interface, it's never completely visible for the majority of plugins. Only for some plugins it works well. I am pasting some examples. There is a big empty white area, probably used to show the entire plugin, but not visible.
Thank you for your help.
if you want a patch to store the path to a file... you need to make it store the path to the file.
a messagebox or a coll for example will make the patcher dirty so that you are forced to save before closing it.
You could start having a look into vst help file under plugin names tab.
I mean if you want to scan and load plugs from the menu.
Otherwise, send message
plug followed by plugin name, or absolute path if plug is not in search path.
That with vst edit window not showing GUI correctly is a question for support.
One could say you use windows, from the look,
but .... is that enough info to try to help you ?
I had a lot of issues with this too and my solution was to delete all snapshots, then use pattrstorage to save/read an external json that stores the plugin name/params
