dont expect high quality samples

[dusty grove]

nice

i always mangle my drums with effects anyways

so this might be a cool way to avoid digging through my sample library randomly

[void mauve]

did anyone else buy this and experienced that the models and everything just didn't show up?

i already reported this to the developer but if anyone knows a solution already that would be cool

[void mauve]

solved: just use documents as your content folder. the custom content folder feature doesn't work yet

[dusty grove]

hmm i wonder if there will be a feature eventually where you can have the AI analyse your sample library (or just all of the snares, for example) to create new samples in the same "style"

[void mauve]

i want that

[drowsy solstice]

Anyone have any problems installing this? It's not showing up in Bitwig. All paths are correct. Nothing.

[obsidian rivet]

great looking plugin, I wish there was a demo version though

[fickle nebula]

I'm having same problem

[drowsy solstice]

Check the error log in the plugins section of settings. I sent it to tensirpunk support and now waiting for reply. They said it's a known problem.

[fickle nebula]

Weird I do not have that notification neither haha, let see

[drowsy solstice]

Contact their support
[email protected]
The more they know about it, more likely it’ll get fixed 👍🏼

[drowsy solstice]

Have you found a solution yet? Looks like support aren't bothering

[somber walrus]

worlds first? steinbergs backbone does that too, is this one older?

i mean this has a very different workflow and i think this makes alot more sense for drums as backbone is basically working on one sound in depth

still bold claim

backbone has generate and resynth aspects plus a bunch of others and some smart ui decisions but it wasnt worth it for me because its pretty maze-y and only 1 sound per instance

[fickle nebula]

I just got an email about a new update but I have not tried to download yet

[fickle nebula]

I downloaded the new update n works now

[drowsy solstice]

Glad it's worked for you. I've tried the new installer this morning, same problem. No response from support.

[fickle nebula]

Nothing yet for u bro?

[drowsy solstice]

No mate. Put a second ticket in and no response. I've still got the serial, so I'll have to wait for stable release. 👍🏻

[fickle nebula]

damn. Well, hope u enjoy it or finde it really useful once it works

[half idol]

nice but 19 bucks for testing a beta.....not sure about that

[trim viper]

Fail for me too. They have some debugging to do.
Sent them the relevant failure lines from Bitwig's engine startup log.

[trim viper]

They (temporarily) threw in the towel and said they would "forward my Bitwig log to the lead developer". And in the meantime, they just straight-up refunded me. They said they'd gotten several reports about Mace not working with Bitwig.

[obsidian rivet]

should've gone with CLAP instead, lol

[void mauve]

i didn't use it a lot yet but it always worked for me so far

It doesn't work in Cubase 12 Pro either. Maybe it's dependent on your Windows config wether it works or not?

[void mauve]

ah i see. then it's probably using dynamic linking for its dependencies

since i develop plugins i have all dependencies installed anyway

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170 try downloading and running this. if you are sceptical: this basically makes sure that your computer understands the latest c++ code. the language is in constant development. that's why that is needed. most plugins use static linking, which means they just copy the c++ dependencies into the vst file for ease of use. dynamic linking expects that stuff to be on the computers of the users already. installers sometimes install them with the plugin, but not in this one probably

[drowsy solstice]

The updated installer they offer at the moment forces latest VC package before it installs the plugin. I've asked for a refund, but I can't get a response. It's only 19 quid, but that's not the point.

[void mauve]

why refund if it works now tho?

[drowsy solstice]

It doesn't work. Bitwig or Cubase.

[trim viper]

The whole dynamic dependencies is the problem. The X64 library they built the plugin on is OLDER than my current x64 library. I'm not uninstalling the latest and greatest x64 library (to install the version this plugin expects) because it will probably break the OTHER software/app/game/plugin that uses the newer x64 library.

I've laid out this problem for the dev. It's up to them to fix it.

[void mauve]

so you installed the dependencies but it still didn't work?

[drowsy solstice]

Yeah. I'm on windows 11 insider program. It's probably that that's fucking it up.

[void mauve]

nah, stuff doesn't break just because you install some dependencies. every c++ distributable is seperate from each other. you basically have different types of c++ on your computer and whenever running a plugin it chooses the one it was designed for

[void mauve]

ok then idk. i have windows 10. you know the windows-rule. every other windows sucks. so you have to wait for windows 12 to get a good windows

[drowsy solstice]

Ha. Not had any problems with it to be honest, DAW wise. It looks nice 😂

[void mauve]

proof:
95 sucked
98 didn't suck
2000 sucked
XP didn't suck
vista sucked
10 didn't suck
therefore: 11 sucks

[obsidian rivet]

conveniently leave out ME and Windows 7 and 8 (and 8.1)

but sure, big changes come with challenges
