HISE Compatibility with Windows 11 and Cubase 12

[Matt_SF]

@d-healey yes, I just got his message today but I'll build it tomorrow to see if it works or not

[Casey Kolb]

@Matt_SF We were never able to resolve the issue, even with the VST3 version in Cubase 12,

We tried switching the audio drivers in the user's preferences, but that didn't fix anything. It's the only case we've ever had of this, so I'm still wrapping my brain around what could be going wrong. The standalone works fine on the user's machine.

[Matt_SF]

@Casey-Kolb Thank you for your response. I don't know how I'll be able to debug this one if you couldn't do it !
I'll try anyway and report back if I stumble upon a solution

[d.healey]

@Casey-Kolb @Matt_SF Have they tried in another host? Have they tried on another machine? What audio interface are they using?

[Matt_SF]

@d-healey I'll ask

[Matt_SF]

@Matt_SF
So I just compiled a standalone version of the plugin, adding to it "Settings", "MidiSource" and "MidiChannels" panels, and no problem on my computer (as expected).
I tried it first on my computer of course and it turns out that it's impossible to select the MIDI source or the MIDI channels, they are greyed out. Therefore I can't use my MIDI keyboard to play it but the sound is playing when I use the plugin's keyboard.

I compiled a simple SineGen standalone app to test this and the MIDI is working fine.

(The reported problem in Cubase is that the MIDI messages are not recognized or received by the plugin)

[Matt_SF]

...Another great moment of solitude for me as we say here...
Turns out the greying out of the options was caused by an error in my LAF script :man_facepalming: :man_facepalming: :man_facepalming:
The MIDI options does work.

So, I've sent the standalone version to my user to see how that goes. I'll wait for him to respond and I'll try to debug things up with him.

Ok... It's happening here too. Can't get my newly exported samplers to work on C12 PC. Standalone, Reaper, and PT all work properly.
PT not working either. I'm thinking routing matrix issue

[Casey Kolb]

@dustbro Good to know I'm not crazy! You're using VST3 right?

[Dan Korneff]

@Casey-Kolb yes

[Dan Korneff]

It appears to be Cubase in general. Cubase 11 no workie. PT no workie. Seems like Reaper is the only one functioning

[d.healey]

@dustbro Can you recreate the system on your machine?

What are the audio settings he is using in Cubase, Pro-Tools, Reaper?

And does the standalone version work?

[Dan Korneff]

@d-healey It's happening on MY machine :)
I'm using internal sound drivers for all tests.
Gonna double check standalone after I do a little debugging.
EDIT:
Standalone works fine

[Casey Kolb]

@dustbro Strange, maybe the VST3 is messed up in general. Spooky because we're about to launch the VST3 version of our plugin in a week.

[Dan Korneff]

I'm getting an error when activating outputs on my test instrument.
"the current layout you supplied is not a valid layout".
I would think that's the main reason it's not making any sound.

@dustbro I can confirm the VST3 does work in Ableton Live and Cubase 11 on Mac. Must be specific to Windows.

[Matt_SF]

Still following. I haven't heard back from my user yet...

[Dan Korneff]

@Casey-Kolb said in HISE Compatibility with Windows 11 and Cubase 12:

Confirmed. VST3 AAX and AU all working on MacOS

[d.healey]

Can one of you post a test VST3 that demonstrates the issue, preferably a debug build? Would be good to have the HISE project too.

[Dan Korneff]

@d-healey Here's a minimal project:
