Awesome thanks, will try this out to see how it sounds

I've just hit this issue - i'm just getting into wavetable synthesis but this seems like a big limitation. anyone know something we're missing to get unison voices in additive/spectral import modes? will have to shell out for serum i guess

Thanks Atlas007, that was right - 'bank type' changed and it's working how I want it now. Much appreciated!

Hello, I'm running Logic 10.4.2 and use a Komplete S49 midi controller which has a mixer mode enabling you to control 8 faders at a time in Logic. You can move the fader bank up and down by 8 channels at a time to access all mixer channels, but the banks are often split awkwardly for mixing purposes, e.g. I have 6 percussion channels running from channel 6 to 11, which means 3 of them are in bank 1 and 3 are in bank 2. Therefore I wondered if there's a way in Logic to nudge the fader bank up and down by 1 channel rather than 8? There doesn't seem to be a way to do this on the Kontrol. Thanks!

Yes that worked! I'll test it a bit more then let Expert Sleepers know about it. They didn't suggest it, so I guess they'd like to know. This has been a major problem for me so I really can't thank you enough.

Update: I've found that if I apply plugin delay compensation to all channels and enable playback pre-roll, then put a latency-inducing plugin on another channel (I used Neutron2), I can get Sync outputting at the start of the first bar of cycle as intended. It doesn't seem to matter whether Sync is inserted as an instrument or as FX. Seems a shame to have to artificially induce latency, but it is a workaround. I'll just have to see whether it is practical in different workflow situations.

Thanks very much for this comprehensive advice. I've got a few things to try now and will speak to the developer again once I've done them. I'll report back if I have any info which might be useful. Much appreciated!

Dewdman, -Yes it is an au instrument plugin. Perhaps I could try it as FX? -I don't usually have any plugin latency comp on, but I can experiment with settings -I think this behaviour happens regardless of whether I have other channels and/or plugins but I will check this - thank you Triplets, Sync sends data out in control voltage form through a DC-enabled soundcard, so it’s just short voltage pulses which sound like ‘clicks’ if you monitor the channel. Left channel sends a clock, which you can set as 24ppqn, 48 or whatever, and the right channel sends the start and stop pulses.

Hi Dewdman, I use Silent Way's Sync plugin to synchronise hardware sequencers via control voltage. The way the Sync plugin works is that it sends out a start pulse on a CV channel through my soundcard on the first barline that the playhead crosses after you press play in logic. That gets all the sequencers going. So if I set a two bar cycle in Logic with the beginning and ends on barlines, and then press play, I want the plugin to send the start pulse out immediately so that the hardware sequencers start at the same time as Logic does. This *is* what happens if I run the plugin as VST in a different DAW (e.g. Maschine), but in logic, the Sync plugin does not send the start pulse until one bar into the cycle. This seems to suggest that the AU version of the plugin is not starting right on the barline, even though the cycle starts on a barline, and therefore the playhead is starting form a barline. So I wanted to know if this was a known behaviour of the AU plugin format (this is what the developer suggested) and whether there's anything that could be done about it. Let me know if I can provide more details to help - thanks!

Bumping this one up - can anyone explain why AU plugins do not start right at the beginning of the bar, and is there anything that can be done about it? Thanks!

Hi all, I use the silent way ‘sync’ plugin to send a clock and run signal to external gear. After you press play in logic, sync waits until the next bar line to start. However, if I am in cycle mode and the cycle starts at the beginning of a bar, the plugin does not start immediately when I press play. Instead, it only gets going one bar into the loop. This means that every time I use cycle to work on a loop, I have to move the left locator back into the previous bar, then move it back whilst it is playing- very cumbersome and slows workflow considerably. I asked the maker of silent way plugins and from what I understood he said this behaviour is because the AU plugin format starts late and so doesn’t capture info right at the start of the cycle. The plugin does seem to start corrctly at the start of a loop if I use the VST version in Maschine. So, is my problem really irresolvable because it is an issue with the AU format, or is there some workaround or setting I can use? Any help or ideas greatly appreciated!

Thanks very much for your advice on this David - much appreciated.

I'm going to give it a go setting up a new user. It's not going to be fun but I hear that it can help things run better generally as it wipes the slate clean library and permissions-wise, and I have to solve this undo issue as soon as possible.

Hello, it was 100 and I've just tried changing it to 20 and 2 and it didn't make any difference

I Just tried again in exactly the way you describe but it didn't work unfortunately
