VST parameter clicks

sidora's icon

I get small clicks when changing vst parameter values in my patches.

One parameter is not too bad.
But the patch i'm working on interpolates presets of 3 knobs, which are assigned to parameters of a vst.
So when all 3 parameter knobs are preset morphing, i get clicks more often.
I tried smoothing with a line object but i still got clicks.

Heres a patch example of how i change a parameter value in my patch.
You might need to shake the parameter value knob a lot to hear the clicks (going back and forth from 0 to 1 quickly).

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

Anyone else is getting that issue?
Please help!:(

there is nothing what looks wrong in a way ... i´d say it can only be the plug-in causing this.

what plugin are we talking about and what is your current audio vector size?

Uhbik Ambience for example, clicks a lot on my side. When assigned to mix.

If i use the same sound & vst in ableton live and shake any parameter controllers outside the plugin window (like a macro knob or the device parameter sliders given in ableton). i dont get any clicks.

My vector sizes are IO size=512 and signal Vector=64.

I actually confirmed this bug with Cycling 74 support. They've ticketed it. After upgrading to 6.1.6 I noticed that whenever I applied modulation to any VST I had it induced clicking and stuttering. This was not an issue with my previous version. I've simply just reverted back for the time being, as my performances rely on 1 or 2 VST effects.

Thanks.
I hope it gets fixed soon.

Hi,
I am definitely seeing this behavior too. I hope it gets fixed soon also! One of the main reasons I bought Max was to use it as an uber-powerful AudioUnit host / parameter side-chainer.

Switch "Scheduler in Audio Interrupt" off in dsp settings,
in first place on windows.

you can enforce it by loadbanging this message

In quite few occassions, it reduced clicks when dealing with vst~ object
for me.
