Why Vst Plugin Gui S Are Changing 2017 9,1/10 8493 reviews

Mach 5 has problems in Samplitude because Motus GUI (they will change it) in SONAR both MOTU have little problems because GUI with transparenz features. The problem with the internal Effect is: internal Effect on use much more CPU in FL then in other sequenzers and it produces noises (left side) when fix-size-buffers in FL is on. VST MIDI Driver supports Windows XP/Vista/7+, but on the Windows XP it is better to use the official Yamaha S-YXG50 WDM driver, which you can download from the Microsoft Windows Update servers: 4MB version (better quality, consumes more RAM), 2MB version (worse quality, consumes less RAM). This WDM driver can be installed manually using Add. @Reflex I ran FL 64bit and loaded a plugin which wouldn't load as instructed. However, I then closed FL Studio and my computer went up to 100% CPU usage and ilbridge.exe was the culprit so to avoid a total crash I ended the process.

jBridge – troubleshooting

( Some of the most common issues with jBridge and, when possible, the solution – Last updated: 29/20/2013 )

Plugin GUI's are not scaling correctly in FL Studio. Later versions of FL Studio, 12 and higher, feature a vector based Graphic User Interface (GUI) that automatically adapts to your screen resolution as set under 'Windows Control Panel All Control Panel Items Display'.

1 – How do I use jBridge?”

If you’re using SONAR 8.5.x or above:

– Go to Tools->Cakewalk Plugin-in Manager, scan your plugins normally. Then, select the VST plugin you wish to use with jBridge, and in the Vst Configuration part click on “Plugin-in Properties” . Enable the option “Load using jBridge wrapper”.

If you’re using Cantabile v2.x / VSTHost / Podium 3.x / PSYCLE v1.10 / BloXpander v1.4.0 / Metro 6 / Band-in-a-Box 2015 ( or above these versions ):

– No additional configuration is needed after jBridge’s installation, these hosts implement direct support for jBridge and will use it as needed.

For any other host:

– After the installation, go to your Start menu, find the “jBridge” program folder, and run the jBridger tool, which will prepare the needed files for your host to use. Follow the onscreen instructions. It’s highly recommended that you create a separate directory for the files it will need to create.->Click here for a more detailed example<-

2 – “I got an update, do I need to uninstall / rebridge anything?”

– No, all you need to do is install the new version over it and it’s all set.

3 – “jBridger states “0 files created”, although I selected a folder that contains plugins.”

– This is a permission issue, make sure the folder has the necessary permissions and/or that you’re running an administrator account.

4 – “My bridged plugins are not detected by my host.”

Possible causes:

– Some hosts will need a plugin rescan and restart.

– You are accidentally including both the bridged files folder and the original plugins in the scan ( some hosts will ignore duplicate plugins ).

– The plugin is not supported by the host ( ie, if you’re bridging a 32bit plugin, check if it’s detected by the 32bit version of that host ).

5 – “My bridged plugin appears unregistered and / or its settings aren’t saved/loaded.”

– This can also be caused by permission issues. Make sure you are running an administrator account and / or that your auxhost’s are set to run with administrative privileges.

6 – “My bridged plugin crashes on scan/load.”

Possible causes:

– The plugin is not correctly installed.

– The plugin uses a copy protection method incompatible with jBridge.

– The plugin may not be compatible with you OS (ie, some older plugins won’t run in Windows Vista / 7 ).

– You don’t have the necessary permissions ( are you running an admin acount? Do you have UAC on? ).

– It has been reported that some plugins ( ie: IK Multimedia ones ) require UAC to be disabled in order to be able to work with jBridge. There’s a nice tutorial here about how to disable UAC:

– If you’re experiencing a BSOD ( Blue Screen Of Death) with your bridged plugin, try turning off DEP ( Data Execution Prevention) in Windows, to know more about turning off DEP, please have a look here:

7 – “My bridged plugin crashes as soon as I load another instance of it.”

Possible causes:

– Some plugins can’t be run in more than one process at the same time . In jBridge versions equal or above 1.2, try enabling the “run in existing auxhost” option.

In some cases, duplicating and renaming the plugin’s dll to a different name ( ie: plugin.dll ; plugin2.dll ; plugin3.dll ) can solve this problem.

8 – “I can’t run more than one bridged UAD plugin.”

– This is another variation of a plugin which can’t be run on different processes at the same time. According to the reports, v5.4.1 of UAD’s drivers seems to worsen this problem even more.

– For UAD2 plugins, try increasing the DSP Loadlock value.

update( 18/03/2010 ): New reports say that v5.6 of UAD’s driver greatly improves the number of simultaneous “jbridged” UAD2 plugins.

update( 29/03/2010 ): From jBridge version 1.2 onwards, try enabling the “Run in existing auxhost” option.

9 – “My plugin’s GUI is not displayed or only partially displayed with the integrated GUI mode.”

– Click the jBridge icon on the bottom, it will issue a window refresh command. From v1.14 onwards, you can also try to enable the option “Force whole GUI refresh”.

– If the GUI is still not displayed at all, try disabling UAC ( Windows Vista/7 ).

10 – “My bridged plugins always show a blank window when I open their GUI.”

– According to the reports, running the DAW as admin solves this problem. If you’re running the auxhost’s as admin, and not the DAW, you will get a white window.

11 – “The GUI vanishes / gets blank when I click on it, and I am using Cubase 5.”

Please right click in the GUI’s window top and enable/disable the “Always on top” option.

12 – “My plugin’s GUI window still shows blank with the integrated GUI mode.”

You might want to try the separated GUI mode instead. From version 1.18 onwards, enable the “switch to integrated GUI mode” option and reload your bridged plugin.

( to manually set a plugin to use the separated GUI mode, edit the default_auxhost_settings.txt in jBridge’s program folder or the <your plugin name>.jBridge file in you plugin’s directory. Find the following line:

USE_SEPARATED_GUI 0

change it to

USE_SEPARATED_GUI 1)

13 – “My plugin behaves weirdly when performance mode is enabled, and I am using the integrated GUI mode.”

– “Performance mode” may not work well with some plugins/hosts and the integrated GUI mode ( in fact, performance mode may not work at all with a specific plugin/host combination ), but you can try to set the plugin to use the separated GUI mode and see if it solves the problem.

14 – “I am getting a “dispatcher opcode X failed” message.”

Why Vst Plugin Gui S Are Changing 2017 Bmw

For dispatcher opcode 1 messages:

– Try enabling the “dirty close” option.

For dispatcher opcode 14/15 messages:

– Try enabling the “prevent main host control when the GUI window is closed” option.

For dispatcher opcode 19 messages:

– Try enabling the “I am getting a dispatcher opcode 19 error message” option.

If the problem remains:

– Try the separate GUI mode. Please see issue nº 12 for details on how to switch to the separate GUI mode.

15 – “I can’t do drag n’drop in my bridged plugin”.

2017

According to the reports, disabling UAC solves this problem.

16 – “I am getting a warning message with Kontakt 4 about the number of outputs.”

Please update to the most recent version of jBridge.

17 – “My plugin crashes prior to all the above stages.”

Follow these steps:

1 – Disable all the bridged plugin’s options. If all the options were already disabled, try enabling the “use thread safety measures in auxhost” option.

2 – If the plugin still crashes, try to load it natively ( in the version of your host that matches the plugin’s architecture ) and see if the crash also occurs. If it does, it’s an issue with the plugin/host, if it doesn’t, you have probably encountered a problem in jBridge, please report the issue.

18 – “How about DX/DXi plugins?”

Although I can’t offer (much) support for this, it was interesting to verify that DX/DXi plugins can be used in 64bit VST hosts by combining jBridge with Frank Potulski’s excellent mfx/dx/dxi wrapper dxshell. You’ll need to bridge the dll(s) created by the wrapper.

You can find Frank’s wrapper here:

You can read more about it here:

19 – “My VST instruments appear as VST fx in Cubase”

– Make sure you haven’t changed your plugins location after preparing the bridging files. If their location has changed, you’ll need to re-create the bridging files.

– update Cubases’s plugin cache.

if the problem persists, try renaming the created .32.dll/64.dll/.32.txt/64.txt files to .dll/.txt and update Cubase’s plugin cache again.

– According to a user’s report, if the plugin is located in your (…)Program FilesVstPlugIns folder, try moving the original plugin into a new location outside that directory, and then create the bridging files from the new location.

20 – “Will jBridge cause any sound quality loss”?

– No. It just transfers the audio data, doesn’t change it in any way.

21 – “Will my 64bit bridged plugin still be able to use all the RAM when I bridge it to a 32bit main host”?

– Yes. It will still be running in its own 64bit auxhost, so no memory limitations apply as well.

22 – “How do I bridge Waves plugins”?

jBridge versions equal or above 1.2 support shell plugins bridging ( if your main host also supports them ).

If you’re experiencing problems, please ensure that:

– You’re running the latest iLok drivers, which you can get here: http://paceap.com/

– You’re creating bridging files using source files that are located inside the installation directory for your Waves product ( That is, if you need to bridge a WaveShell, bridge the one that is inside the Waves installation folder and not the one that is inside your VST plugin folder ).

If your VST host doesn’t support VST shell plugins, you can also:

– Bridge the individual plugins located inside your Waves installation folder instead of their WaveShell ( They’re invoked by their WaveShell ).

or

– Convert the WaveShell into single VST plugins using the shell2vst utility and then bridge the files it creates. You can read more about shell2vst here:
http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2430859

23 – “I am using a 32bit operating system that only detects 3.5Gb of RAM, although I have 8Gb in my machine. Will I be able to use more than 3.5Gb of RAM in my 32bit OS with jBridge?”

– No, this is not possible. jBridge can only use the RAM your OS can provide, therefore, a 64bit operating system is strongly recommended.

24 – “My plugin’s settings weren’t saved (or are not being loaded ).”

– Try updating to jBridge v1.4 or above ( in v1.4 improvements were made, which, according to the reports, solved this problem with some plugins ).

– Also, try deleting the bridging files for the affected plugins, then re-create them with the following setting enabled in the jBridger tool ( if you haven’t done this already ):

If the problem remains in your case, please contact me.

25 – “I am experiencing audio spikes/dropouts when using jBridge”

– Try disabling any CPU throttling mechanisms in the BIOS such as Intel SpeedStep ( or EIST ) / AMD Cool n’quiet. According to the reports, this may improve performance in some DAW’s.

26 – “I am getting garbled sound when using jBridge in FL Studio”

– Try these settings ( At least here, with FL Studio 10, the following audio configuration has solved the problem for me. re-start it after changing them ):

UPDATE: It has been reported that the “use fixed buffer size” setting in newer versions of FL Studio works better with jBridge.

27 – “My bridged TC Powercore DSP series plugins are crashing

– Try loading an empty project in your DAW, then, loading only one instance of each plugin at a time, enable the “run in existing auxhost” option for all of them ( load one, enable the option, unload, load next, etc ).

Once I launched 3.2.2 I was really astonished that the engineers at Presonus decided to put this into the 'will not be fixed' pool as there is now a little message when you switch over to High DPI Mode: 'some plugins will be shown smaller when they cant be scaled' - haha - is this real?
Cubase, Ableton, Bitwig, Reaper - every DAW can be run in something like 'high dpi mode' WITH scaled VST plugins! (wether they can be scaled or not!)
So why this cant be also be done in S1?
Is it so impossible to add an option in the program to give the users the possibility to always scale the plugins in high dpi mode?

This is not a bug. It is a Feature Request.
S1 uses Windows Scaling built in to the OS. The Plugin has to use the same approach.
It looks like other DAWs have figures a work around. Your picture would be a good to add to your FR posted here. http://answers.presonus.com/questions/s ... e-requests

But really - how can somebody say that this is not a bug?
I mean, NO one could use Studio One in that resolution in High DPI mode. It's just not readable.
Presonus cares? Does not seem so

I will vote for it.
I deal with it on a 40' 4K monitor.
It has been that way since the GUI was rewritten using new Windows graphic libs to support High DPI on Windows.
It would be interesting to see how the other DAWs are doing it.
Presonus cares? Does not seem so :cry

The developers are by the book in terms of normal OS behavior. They do not do software tricks or workarounds due to the side effects . If there is a legit way to do it by the rules they will support it.

This would be a radical feature, no doubt !
Anybody using two or more screens will agree, the distance between your speakers dictates the distance between the screens and your eyes, in my example that means about 1m (2x 26' @ 1920x1200, a 3rd on the side - so not even 4k or something).
You absolutely cannot read anything in many plugin UIs, take those Korgs or Toontrack Superior as sad examples for abandoned UI development.
At least Arturia have solved this longstanding problem yesterday ...
But allow me two remarks :
- to be really useful, you would have to be able to at least store 'scaling on/off' per plugin, even better would be individual zoom factors, as some of the better UIs would not benefit from scaling, on the contrary.
Sounds like a lot of work.
- on a closely related note, the subminiature note name fonts in S1's piano editor are borderline unusable too here at max zoom, I'm sure there are other examples too.
any visibility improvements would be most welcome indeed,

Wow, I guess this is the problem I am having. Just bought a highest spec Dell XPS 15 9550 laptop with a high screen resolution. Sending the monitor signal to a 26 inch monitor, my Omnisphere 2 plugin in S1 (latest version) is so small its practically useless.
Any solution in sight, PLEASE!?

I'm pretty sure that the problem is with Omnisphere, not Studio One, but have you checked the 'Enable High DPI Mode' option in the General tab of Stuio One's Options dialog?
I have exactly the same problem with some VSTs on my MS Surface Pro 3. I put in a feature request with the VST company to make a resizable GUI and some of them respond.

Change your OS scaling factor for the UI to something higher than 100%.
You may have to run it at a larger amplification for a 26' screen.
