Simple Gain - Width Not Working

[trillbilly]

Hey Gang,

So Im just trying to use the Simple Gain Width parameter and am getting no effect. All other parameters within the Simple Gain work fine. It even seems after looking back through my old projects the Simple Gain Width has stopped working.

Am I missing something here or just being a complete shit head about this?

@trillbilly Are you using stereo samples?

[trillbilly]

@d-healey Yes. It worked fine in my previous projects, but, now even those are not working within HISE. Exported plugin does not work either. Strange.

[trillbilly]

@d-healey And now Im noticing, on my individual samplers, none of the Pans are working either within the Simpler Gain modules. I have no FX routed anywhere else.

I do have Autopan Module with LFO Implemented, could this cause issues for some reason? That module seems to be working fine.

[d.healey]

@trillbilly Make a minimal snippet that demonstrates the issue, you should post the test sample file too.

[trillbilly]

@d-healey Im using the CustomSampleImport Tutorial within it. Ill see if i can recreate with something else

[d.healey]

@trillbilly Add a sampler, load a stereo sample into it, add a simple gain. That's the minimal snippet.

If you twiddle the width knob and everything works then you know the problem is not with the simple gain module.

[trillbilly]

@d-healey Yes, everything works here in the snippet. I wonder what is causing the issue within the projects then?

I will upload and post the test sample file

[trillbilly]

@d-healey Sorry for the delay, here is the project file.

I looked it over again and am confused as to what I did to stop the Pans in each sampler from audibly working as well as the Dimension (Gain Width) not audibly working. They visibly work in their respected modules, I can see the knobs turning, but they make no audible change.

Plugin Test

@trillbilly Your first gainFX MainGain has the Width set to 0, which mono-ise the whole plugin...

[trillbilly]

@ustk ahhhh, so yes, I was being a shithead. I'm not at the computer but will fix this tomorrow.

Is this why the pan isn't working on the samplers? Because I have an autopan module set before the samplers?

[trillbilly]

@ustk So I did this and it didn't work. I even removed all of the other Gain Modules, leaving only the Dimension Gain Module and still nothing.

What's strange though is the Pans on the Samplers work ONLY if I have the width set to any amount other than 0. And not only that, the normal Center Pan signal has no audible sign of the width/dimension, however, the panned signal (both left and right) sounds like it has the width/dimension is working.

If you get a chance to check that out, it would be super appreciated. I'm scratching my head removing all my FX to no avail.

[trillbilly]

So it seems you just have to enable all other instances of Width in any gain module to 200 and the final gain module will determine the final width amount? IDK if thats wacky but it seems to have solved the issue.

[Dan Korneff]

@trillbilly sounds a little suspicious

[d.healey]

@trillbilly Follow the signal flow.

If at point A you set the width to 0 then it doesn't matter what you do at point B.
