Modulators + pitch on vst

Hi Steinberg! First of all thank you for this nice update. I was gladly suprised to see that you kept the vst2 as an (unsupported) option. Big thanks for that and please, please keep this in future releases. This+the new modulators made me upgrade.

About the modulators: Modulating the pitch of Legend hz vst using the step sequencer, it sounds like there’s some smoothing on the automation? The steps has this very fast zip/glide between the notes. Same with the lfo using a square to modulate the pitch. Can this be turned off, so that the pitch changes are really instant?

Try disabling ASIO Guard and see if it helps? Double buffered audio engine of Cubase might be a problem here (just a guess on my part).

Hello Antic604!

Thanks for the reply! I tried to turn off asio guard, but those fast slides persist. So i thought “maybe those are depending of what vst you use?”. So i tried it with imposcar3, but with the same result. But then another thing hit me: what if the pitchbend resolution is to fast?

Lets try it with CC0 instead. So i assigned cc0 to the pitchbend in imposcar3, but then another problem appeared: i can’t select the midi CC0 destination from the Cubase lfo mod. The message: “The function can not be changed, as an uknown error appeared”.

The problem here is that the smoothing is happening inside the plug-in. The modulation signal is instant, but the plug-in smoothes the parameter change. So you have to ask the developer of the plug-in to remove the smoothing.

Aha, thanks for the reply Arne!

Edit: Oh, and i discovered a bug (?). I can’t get the shaper to work in oneshot mode. (Modulating a vst)
