Hey everyone, I'm a bit new around here and a bit new to this synthmaking stuff. First off just wanted to say that you all rock! This forum has been a great help in getting me started. Not to mention, this software is absoluetly intense.... Truely amazing 😈

Just had a quick question, sorry if it's dumb but I can't seem to figure it out: I followed the re-sizing a slider tutorial to resize a slider from one of the mod packs. However, whenever I re-opened the saved schematic, it disappears. So, I did some searching and figured out that connecting a ticker may fix this. Now, the slider appears fine in the schematic (with the added ticker), but when I bounce to VST, it disappears again...

Anyone have any ideas or a link to another post on this (I can't seem to find one)?

Thanks for your help!

hi and welcome to the forum JonD 🙂 ,

so this only happens in an exported vst?

the only thing i can think of that should solve this is by using the 'afterload' component.

you can find that in the 'other' section of the toolbar, what the afterload component does is, it sends a trigger as soon as the vst has loaded. so if you connect that to the trigger input on the resize module, i think it should work.

let me know if that works,

cheers 😉

Worked like a charm! As soon as I connected the afterload, it's visible everywhere, in the schematic and the VST. Thank you very much exonerate!

That was my tutorial... I put it in once the question of 'how to?' was asked more than once. I'll take a look and make any changes that may be required.

i followed your tutorial once and this caught me out as well, i was a complete newbie at the time and was totally confused why they were disapearing when copying and pasting, and on loading the osm.

so i think you just need to make a little note at the end saying to attach the afterload component, to trigger the resize on load.

cheers 😉

Fixed... thanks to both of you!
