AAX plugin doesn't initiate default slider values when loaded in Pro Tools

[gorangrooves]

@orange Unbelievable.

[tomekslesicki]

They will be fine if you’ll dsiable „is plugin parameter” on them - it’s a walkaround I’m using, but of course it’s less than optimal.

[gorangrooves]

@tomekslesicki If you disable that, you won't be able to automate those parameters, so it is not really a good workaround.

[Lindon]

I must admit - I'd really like this fixing too...

[gorangrooves]

@Lindon Do you think this is HISE-related or PT?

[ps]

it's pretty annoying but what I do to work around this is: in a timer: if value of slider that never makes sense to be on 0 on initialization (like gain) load init preset.

I think its HISE in PT...

[gorangrooves]

Kind man, @Christoph-Hart , if you can, would you please wave your magic wand and fix this for us all?

@gorangrooves Are you using AAX SDK version 2.4.0?
If not, can you try with it?

[gorangrooves]

@orange I am using 2.4.1. That's the latest one if I am correct.

[orange]

@gorangrooves Yes, but that retrospective SDK test can help to solve the cause of the issue. You can download the SDK v2.4.0, compile the static libraries and give it a go.

[gorangrooves]

@orange i will try. You are not having the issue with that SDK?

[orange]

@gorangrooves I built on June and it was working. If you'd like, you can download Need 73 or 81 or 84 from here and try on your system.

[gorangrooves]

@orange I compiled a plugin using AAX SDK 2.4.0, and the issue still remains.

There's also an issue with linking controls in multi-mono mode. I haven't built an AAX binary with a recent version of HISE yet so I'll try to do that over the weekend and see what happens.

[gorangrooves]

Also, regarding AAX export: HISE autogenerated compiler specifies "Use static runtime" for Runtime Library, while the AAX SDK requires DLL. I had to change that to make the compilation successful.

[gorangrooves]

@ps Would you mind sharing that bit of script, please (as a fall-back)?

[Fortune]

This problem is definitely unacceptable. I can't believe even the button issue is happening for years!

I am sure rather than adding no-urgent additions to Hise, @Christoph-Hart has already started to debug this critical issue and I am sure he will find a way to fix this and the already many years active button issue too.

[gorangrooves]

@Fortune Yes, I have my faith in @Christoph-Hart . There was an issue with FL Studio multi-out, and fixed that in a very timely manner recently. Didn't say he was doing it, but just published the fix when it was ready.

[ps]

@gorangrooves i don‘t have hise in front of me right now but it‘s very simple:

Start a timer on init for something like 500ms.

In the timer callback check for a slider value that will usually never be set to 0 (only by protools) and is a plug-in parameter. (This could be your main out gain knob for example).

If (MainGainKnob.getValue() == 0)
{
load your init preset(depending on how your preset system works it either your own function or Engine.loadUserPreset);

timer.stopTimer();
}

That’s it :)
