Compiled plugin multi-outs not working in FL Studio

[gorangrooves]

Hey guys,
does anyone of you have a multi-out instrument plugin?
Have you tested the outputs with FL Studio?

I configure the multiple outputs of my plugin by using the auto-mapping functionality of Fl Studio, but as soon as I change an output (within my plugin) to anything other than stereo 1-2, no sound comes out. I tested other (older) plugins by another manufacturer, and they work as they should in Fl Studio. Mine doesn't.

Multi-outs of my plugins work in other software but not in FL Studio.

Has anything else experienced a similar thing? Is there a solution?

Same here. Only output 1-2 work in FL

FL Studio was in fact using an old processing branch that only supported two channels, but I've recently made some changes to the main process function to deal with variable buffer sizes so this FL Studio special treatment isn't necessary anymore.

I've pushed this to a special branch here (it also deals with the engine being silent if you throw idiotic buffer sizes at it):

Can you check whether this works now? I've only tested it in the HISE 16 channel version and I could use all 8 channels after the most awkward interaction with a DAW I had this week - I had to google how to enable KONTAKT multi channels in FL Studio :)

I was hesitant to push this to develop without further testing but if it's OK for you and fixes the multichannel, I'll go ahead and merge it to develop

@Christoph-Hart thanks so much! I'll be testing this first thing tomorrow.
Yes, I agree with your observations of FL Studio. Same here. I think they did a wonderful job with the feel and design, but logic of it all: wtf?
It is apparently the most popular DAW out there, so getting this to work is important.
I'll report back. Thank you!

@Christoph-Hart I am super delighted to report that your FL Studio fix works! Yay! Thank you so much for taking care of this very important bug in such a timely manner.

@gorangrooves Alright, I've merged it into develop, so let's hope we can not think about FL Studio for a while...
