Get Tempo And Set Tempo

Postby newdsp » Sat Feb 13, 2021 7:19 pm

How do I create a custom component that is able to get/set the tempo whenever I trigger it ? DSP ? Assembler ? Ruby ? Because the existing tempo component is not refreshing on plugin load. Especially when the plugin is added a second time. As in... The second instance of the plugin.

Just to clarify… is this with the crappy 3.09 beta still?
Have you tried it in 3.06?

Yeah. It's the 3.0.9. The other one (the 306) is even worse. The 3.0.6 probably works fine in Win7 or XP but in Win10 is not good.

Ok, What DAW(s) did you try it in?
I ask because I hear that FL Studio has issues with sending out beat/tempo data or something.

If you want to share an example I can try it in Win 7 and Reaper. But in 3.06 please!

It looks like I kind of forced it to trigger the tempo reading by attaching an AfterLoad and AfterDup trigger to a Tempo multiplier but that doesn't really give proper control of the get/set tempo. How can I convert them to 306 when they were made with 309 ? It's in Reason 10 because 306 is not able to export 64bit plugins and Reason 10 only accepts 64bit. Here are the 309 files but I think they work now. Kind of. At least once in while. When the second copy of the plugin is added you have to move the tempo up and down to force it to detect it.

Two remarks:

1) The comment about 3.0.6 being worse is simply wrong. It is the most stable version of Flowstone to date, and works just fine with Win 10. (Stay away from buggy 3.0.9 betas. The version number says nothing about improvements. It's misleading.)

2) Why is this question in user examples? It should be in general.

306 might be the most stable version in Windows 7 but it's not the most stable version when it comes to Windows 10. I already tried it. It's also not able to export 64bit plugins therefore there is no way for me to test with Reason 10 since it needs 64bit plugins. It's in the user examples because it includes examples that don't read the tempo on load. You have to move the tempo up and down in the host for the plugin to detect the actual tempo.

We really need a better way to refer to various versions. There are three distinct sets in play:

1. 3.0.6, generally agreed to be the last stable official release. It works well with all currently-viable versions of Windows, including Win10 20H2.

2. 3.0.7/8/9/whatever (available on dsprobotics.com), which are 32-bit, buggy, and incompatible in obscure ways with 3.0.6. AFAIK, they can NOT export 64-bit VSTs or standalones in any way, shape, or form.

3. FS4 Alpha, available only on the Slack development channel, which is 64-bit, still in development but getting ever-closer to release. The real problem is that, at least for now, it is horribly and misleadingly named: it officially carries a version number beginning with "3.0.9", which it most certainly is not. And the place to discuss problems with it is on the Slack forum, not here.

Failing to distinguish between #2 and #3 seems to be causing a great deal of confusion and people talking around each other. I realize there is some logic (or OCD) in reserving "4.0.0" as the first release of the 64-bit rewrite, but the day "FS4 Alpha" starts using a version number beginning with "4" cannot come soon enough. I fear that at some point it will advance from "alpha" to "beta" status and make the situation even worse.

Thus endeth the rant.

Why don't you blame Microsoft and DSP Robotics for that scam ? I never said that versions should be incompatible with each other. If the Firefox browser is still compatible with the internet even at version 85.0.2 then I expect the same from Windows and FlowStone and everything else. Why do you blame me for compatibility scams that have nothing to do with me ? I prefer version v3.0.9b2-3319-gd51130b because at least it's trying to export some 64bit caricatures. All other versions are suck in 32bit mode which is not going to work for me. Here is another buggy example where the preset manager is not saving the patterns of the arpeggiator.

Use that version if you like. But don't flood this forum with it. This forum is for 3.0.6, for the alpha version there's the slack group. Also, you are working with an ALPHA version. It is not intended to be used for production. It is intended to be used to find and report bugs. Do that. On the slack group. Not here.

You're going on my nerves.
