[amo] inconsistent parameter configure behaviour

Post by muthafunka » Tue Mar 10, 2009 6:35 am

Testing out a few plugs and finding that some (Sylenth, Massive) respond to one click on a parameter button/knob/slider whereas others require a double click (Ohmforce plugs) or even actually moving the parameter GUI controller (Reaktor, some ensembles/parameters don't even respond).
Haven't done extensive testing yet and only on AU plugs so far.

Hi,

It should actually be either a click, or moving the parameter. Maybe while double clicking, you moved the parameter a bit? Or is double clicking working on these parameters that need to be edited a bit?

The thing is, according to the VST specification, a click on a parameter should be enough to "publish" it, meaning, sending info about it, and that is what we need to populate the plugin parameter list. Now, some don't comply to this VST standard, and that is nothing we can do about. The best bet is to contact these plugin vendors, and let them know about the problem, and ask them if they can fix that.
