RayBlaster / Re: preset browser lacks a scroll bar (Rayblaster & Icarus 3)
« Last post by Markus Krause on Today at 08:26:39 AM »
Hello Franz,

all preset browsers of the latest versions of our plugins have a scrollbar for the CATEGORY on the left.
There is no second scrollbar for the patches. This is intended. The idea behind this is that you are able to reach every preset of a category without having to click and scroll. Apart from this we need to deal with limitations of Midi compatibility for program change (<128 values) and MacOS menus (no native OS support for multirow menus).

If you need more space for your own presets simply create a new subdirectory in RayBlaster_sounds and restart the plugin.
The correct path looks like .../RayBlaster_sounds/MyGreatSounds/MyGreatPatch.fxp.

Best Regards,
Markus

RayBlaster / preset browser lacks a scroll bar (Rayblaster & Icarus 3)
« Last post by AnalogSignal on May 05, 2024, 05:31:19 PM »
Hi Marcus,

When I have so many presets in a folder that they don't fit on one screen, I can't reach them from the preset browser (unless there is a method I am missing.)  A scroll bar in the browser would address this issue.

I have the latest version of Rayblaster and Icarus 3.0 and it looks like they both have this issue as they probably share preset browser code.

Regards,
Frantz

Icarus / Re: FR: Allow Icarus 3 vst3 to substitute Icarus 2 vst2
« Last post by Markus Krause on April 30, 2024, 08:44:05 AM »
An automatic substitution of VST2 to VST3 is highly problematic for complex plugins. Both plugin formats are technically very different and have a significantly different feature set. e.g. VST3 does not offer full MIDI support. As a result automation and Midi parameters might not get mapped correctly and songs might be messed up or sound different.
I will run some tests, but I am not optimistic that an automatic migration will work properly for all possible scenarios.

You can use 'Open with Rosetta' if you want to work on an old project. The Intel version of Cubase supports VST2.
https://helpcenter.steinberg.de/hc/en-us/articles/4488195658002-Cubase-12-Nuendo-12-Using-the-native-Apple-silicon-version

Or you can migrate your tracks by using 'Open with Rosetta'. Then you could render/bounce the vst2 tracks. Then save the song. Then disable 'Open with Rosetta'.

Please note: It is technically possible to run VST2 on M1 native. Other DAWs on the Mac support it. It's purely Steinberg's own decision to drop downward compatibility for VST2 on M1 Mac.

Icarus / FR: Allow Icarus 3 vst3 to substitute Icarus 2 vst2
« Last post by zvenx on April 27, 2024, 06:27:10 PM »
Hi Markus, as you know the latest/latter versions of vst3 sdk allow the daws that support it (Cubendo, KK and Maschine) to automatically subsitute the vst3 version for the vst2 version in old projects.
I came across this just now.
And because I am now on a Apple Silicon, I can't open the vst2 version that these were created on.

You're right. It must not necessarily be a prime number. Good ratios are fractions of small integer numbers.

I will run some tests with 7/8 (87.5%) and 5/6 (83.33%). If it looks nice I'll add it as an additional resolution.
