Just another bug:

1. Select all (!) and watch careful to the left and right: There is exact “0” noise. So, it starts without any sound and gradually turns loder. So good, so fine.  

2. Now, see Pro-Q4, everything is gone  

3. Now, if I move the selection just a tiny bit to the right. So, we do not start with “0”  

Recommendation: Do not use vibe-coding for edge cases 🙂

And btw., when will the VST-interface run 100% in realtime with animations and per layer? We are in 2026 already…  
Just imagine EQing every layer independently…

Cannot repro here (see sequence of actions in the History panel, same sample rate/channels, same plugin and plugin version as well).

If you’re looking for more advanced VST3 integration, I suggest to use a DAW - SL is not a DAW.

I am actually looking for a _stable_ and _reliable_ VST-interface, as it is in Wavelab, Cubase or Reaper for instance.  
Either bring your VST-interface to a level it is standard today or remove it completely, imho.

Btw, I am using the windows version, not the Mac version.

Several stability improvements for VST3 coming with 13.0.30 in a couple days, and a couple more with 13.0.40 in November.

This sounds good.
