I installed this tonight, and it looks and sounds amazing. Only 1 main bug / problem that I've noticed on PC Cubase 4.52 (and a fellow producer I know on Mac / Logic 8 says he's seen it too)
Problem:
After some time of using VC, and performing certain actions (I can't determine exactly what yet), moving many knobs on VC with the mouse does NOT affect the sound (e.g. Punch Intensity, Dry/Wet of Phaser, Distortion type). On the other hand, moving the knob on the hardware, does affect the sound. Has anyone else seen this?
Solution:
Restart VC
Also I posted a question in another topic but I may as well ask here, how exactly can one switch the patch volume to be pre-effects like in v2? If this has been set to post-effects with no options, doesn't this mean that any patches involving patch volume modulation from v2 will sound different in v3? I certainly used to do patch volume modulation in v2 and am worried those sounds will sound different now.
Finally, I have some feedback regarding the interface of VC in v3:
- I really dislike the gradients on the envelopes, it looks completely out of place. A very soft gradient or even solid colour would look much better to be honest.
- (Also in v2), I notice that when you are in Wavetable mode for an oscillator, there's no easy way to browse through the wavetables without getting a popup list which you have to choose from, there is no way to just go to the previous and next wavetable. Any plans to make this easier to do with the mouse?
- I think the patch selection page would look a lot better with darker background and bright text, it looks messy / too hard on the eyes with a white background. This will also be a nice contrast to the generally bright look of the entire plugin.
Thanks!
