The 'Is Playing' module does not work in sony Acid, i was told this by a user of a plugin and just tested and can confirm that it's not working, please fix this, thanks

I'm not 100% on this but i think this is an Acid issue Dan I seem to remember it not supporting transport start in SE too I haven't got Acid installed at the moment but if you have i can send you a transport start plugin from SE to test if you like

Would be a big help if you could confirm this. I don't have Acid either. I wonder if there is a demo version.

Free version of Acid

Free version of Acid there Malc but i have just reinstalled my system and i'm trying to limit myself to what i install at the moment 😉

You have to register it but it is free

I hope it's fixable 😠 🙁 After being told a plugin of mine did not work with acid, The test i made simply had a auto redrawed label connected to the Is Playing module, it did not change from 0 unfortunately.

I downloaded and installed the Acid 6 trial version and the IsPlaying component worked fine with my little test. From the way you described it, I think I did exactly the same as you Dan - IsPlaying connected to Label comp with a string input and a redraw comp inside.

I am using Acid 6.0d (build 363)

hmmm..... I kind of give up really. 🙁

That's really strange. Long shot, but did you have it enabled?

You didn't change anything inside the Float Label?

Tom7777 ·

No i changed nothing, i tested with a knob beforehand also and it displayed correctly, it's oviously not working, if it was working so would the effect i made which works fine in FL just not acid, and i know that it's definately the module thats not working correctly.

Ok, so the question now is then why does it work for me and not for you? It's a very simple thing so there's not really much that can go wrong.

And others 😉 I wouldn't have noticed if i hadn't been emailed about a mode using the host not working, by any chance do you have the file you used to test in acid, one thing it may be is you said you used a string, its possible it just sends out the string and not the int or whatever but thats a guess, because it works with a string but not a float is what i have noticed atm but i would have to test with your version. I don't see why my test version wouldnt work, but it could be a different computers act differently thing maybe too.

I also used a VSTi for my test. Here it is:

Hmm, it seems as if it works as a synth but not when a effect after testing with a mod of your version adding a float label also. The plugin i need it in is a sequenced effect, works in FL as an effect, so we now have a rough idea of the problem maybe. 🙂
