Tests and identified limitations
Different DAWs have been tested and some way of working presented here.
The following actions are checked:
─
Creating a track using the plugin
─
Displaying the instrument and checking all controls are working fine including Load/Save…
─
Playing a wav file from the file browser. The DAW is often using ASIO while the wav files are
played with the Windows or MacOs native player
─
Saving and opening a project in the DAW. This is checking that the last patch saved is restored
correctly. As in standalone mode, the last patch used is restored (not the last position of the
knobs!)
─
Creating a second track with the plugin
─
Saving and opening a project in the DAW. This is checking that there can be different tracks using
the plugin with each of their last patch saved restored correctly.
─
Creating a preset in the DAW. Each DAW has different ways to do this. Creating presets can also
be done by saving full channel strips that are including the VST instrument setup (Cakewalk,
Reaper, Logic)
─
Creating a track by selecting a DAW preset instead of selecting the plugin. Checks if the correct
patch is restored. When working, this is done by loading a saved channel strip.
─
Replacing a DAW preset by another DAW preset
Replacing the DAW preset in a track by another DAW preset is working fine.
The only remark is that you may get some popups if you directly switch between freshly
created presets (just click Cancel in those popups). Creating a new track with the plugin and
switching between existing DAW presets works fine and doesn’t display the popups.
