MachFive as a Plugin in DP8

Post by Cacus »

Hi all

I've just got MachFive v3.1.4 x64 and I'm clearly missing something when it comes to running as a plug in. Now the stand-a-lone version seems to work ok but when I use as a plug in inside DP8.04 by going to

Project > Add Tracks > Instrument Tracks > MachFive (Stereo)

it ads a track and shows a small grey box with Effects, Seq-1 and a few small push buttons (lets call it the plugin bar) but no MachFive screen.

You do the same with nanosampler and you get the "plugin bar" and the nanosampler shown underneath.

Does that make sense?

Cheers
Steve

Make sure the instrument track has a valid audio output selected

This seems to be true for audio plugins as well - when no output selected some displays show up but others don't.......

Cheers!

I think it might be that MAS plugins and Instruments show up even if no inputs and outputs are selected. A recent topic discussed how ProVerb would show the display, but would not load any IRs until inputs and outputs were set.

AU plugins' graphics seem to not load at all - just the small basic box, until outputs are selected.
