Hi,
On a synth using a VST Array to store waveform data, i set "Auto" on VSTArray to "false" or no input, makes cubase automation of other parameters broken and i can only automate one parameter. Setting "Auto" on VSTArray to "true" fixes this and automation seems fine.
Why is Cubase automation of the other parameters not working with a (big 1024 entries) VSTArray "Auto" set to false? I don't want automation of array as it makes host hang for some time on random of parameters in host and unwanted results.
Is it a bug or is there any other workarounds?
-Thanks.

You'll have to post a OSM, or at least a VST, or at the least least send the OSM to support @ synthmaker.

I can replicate it on the example synth with array. Only one knob seems broken with automation there so it seems to depend of the order of the Array in the preset..? At least et shows the problem. Render to VST and try automation on the Volume knob in Cubase. This will not work. Render with "Auto" on VSTArray set to true and it works.

Hi Mo!
I don't really get why you are using a VST Array to store a wavetable! whats wrong with using a normal float array?
Is there some benefit to doing this? or is there a specific reason for needing to use the VST Array?
just asking because i use arrays all the time but don't think i have ever used the VST Array before 🙂
Best regards

There have been problems like this in other hosts that point to it being when the host likes the automated parameters to be the first ones that it sees. Could be worth using DWB's preset parameter tool (developer's toolbox thread) to make sure that the array is at the end of the parameter list.

Can be handy sometimes - it means that the contents of the array get saved as part of your cubase project. Having said that, if the wavetables can be stored to disk, then storing the path of a wave file as a VST string is more economical.

Hi,
This is just to show the problem. I use VSTArray to store the array with preset because the array can change originally.

I have tried with no luck to move the array to the last in the order. The other parameters is ok with ordering but it just wont read the array if i move it. Also it will make previous presets and projects a mess and not work, so best if i can leave it where it is.
