I have a pluggo, which I've been using without a hitch in Digital Performer. I took it to a friends today and tried to load it up in Live and Pro Tools.

In Live, My lcd interface went crazy. The error I got in the messages view was something like "lcd already recording", so it looks like my sprites are not closing...

Problem 2. Host sync did not work in either Live or Pro Tools.

Now, I know nothing about either of these programs, perhaps neither of them supports host sync, or maybe there was something I was supposed to do to make it work...

Are there any known issues that make it difficult to build a pluggo that will work in all host?

I don't know about Live, but PT doesn't support host

sync. You can bodge your way around it using the

I don't know about Live, but PT doesn't support host
sync. You can bodge your way around it using the
PluggoSync plug-in or making your own.

cumbersome, but it works reasonably well, depending on
what kind of precision you're after,

One basic concept to keep in mind that seems to

bedevil some users and not others is the notion

that the behavior of a plug-in one writes will be

dependent on the host environment in which it

runs; although it's certainly possible to create a

Max patch that has the requisite functionality to

work in a host sync environment, if the application

you run it in doesn't *support* host sync, that bit

won't work. SImilarly, different applications handle

things like snarfing keyboard input, handling MIDI,

etc. in different ways. As Roger says, there may be

workarounds in some cases, but the host application

really *does* call the shots - it's something you need

to know when you write plug-ins and adjust accordingly.

That makes me feel better. It also spurs a couple questions.

Is PluggoSync included with Pluggo Jr. (I have the full version)?

When you say "I use a line~ triggered by a click track" what do you mean? Are you using PlugSync beat info for the click track, or are you doing something more complicated with an audio click track?

It's not. The plug-ins in Pluggo Jr. are:
