Analog lab update
So ive read a bit of speculation on to update or not
So i sat down with analog lab and spark yesterday for a couple of hours threw in a midi file into cubase
and done some testing
Here is the result

So i managed to get something rough and workable i wasnt plagued with errors
Heres the project file if anyone wants to test importing it

seems to be a bug on the first start of the project the first analog lab doesnt produce any sound can anyone check?
If you reload it a second time its fine
Im working on windows 7 64 bit in Cubase artist 7.5 64 bit latest updates
NI komplete 6 48000hz 128 samples i7 32gb sparkle
So i urge you if you can update get a midi (for quickness) and spend a couple of hours testing and see
what results or bugs you get
The software will take so much longer for bugs to be ironed without full scale feedback
By fullscale feedback i mean full on testing on your system bug/crash reports
They need the information below:
1.Reproduction frequency of the problem ?
2.Does this issue happens on all presets ? 2.a. If not, please specify the preset Name.
3.More details about your System?
! OS 32bit/64bit
! DAW version
! Plug-in version
! Driver
! sample rate
! RAM
! Buffer audio
1.If possible, provide a step by step way to reproduce this crash.
2.Send us a screenCast (Picture is better than thousand words) -- easy tools: ?ScreenCast for Windows (7 or 8)
?ScreenCast for MAC OSX
3.The Crash LOG
Thanks 8)

Hi there.
I have also noticed this, i'm on Mac. I think this is something wider than just presets as it affects the midi devices too. I think (i'm guessing) it's just not saving the prefs when you close, therefore it doesn't remember the last preset you were on.
Thanks, Stuart

Hi stuart
The preset is loaded correctly
Analog lab is triggering
There is no audio output from the synth though
And only one instance of analog lab is effected and allways the same one
Even if you change preset it doesnt make any sound
Only fix is to shutdown the project file and reopen
Second time it is allways ok
-
Yeah, I still think this is am Arturia preference thing (As in their code is incorrect) as you also find all your midi devices checked when you start up.
I did update to Analog Lab but never really use it as I prefer Analog Laboratory because it (Used to) works directly with my 61 Laboratory keyboard and works better in Pro Tools than Analog Lab.
I'm more interested as to why they have removed Analogue Laboratory support for their V4 plug ins
Thanks, Stuart

So i put another project together to test spark and analog lab using the matrix and solina
I wanted to really test my pc's abilitys
So i loaded in three matrixs for double lead and bass
2 instances of spark
Realtime on vst realtime peformance peaks at most 40 % average load 30 %
Then i needed a pad so i thought i would go to the solina
Vst realtime performance climbs all the way to the red but average goes to about 40%
Cant hear no pops or crackle or any notes drop out but seems it end of line and time to bounce down
But instead i doubled my buffer to 256 samples giving me 9.7 ms output latency
Vst realtime drops to 55% and average to 35 %
so more room to push it further and sub 10 ms output latency is workable
Will investigate more and post my results
While doing this test i had one bug (all matrixs lost sound output)
I went to make a drink and came back added another instance of spark and pressed play
and there was no sound output from any of the matrixs
I saved the project and reloaded it and it was fine so all good really
The project file is attached if anyones got cubase spark 2 and analog lab
midi is James lawson energise sequenced by bamford

Sorry to double post but wanted to add this
Ok it took 3 matrix's a csv80 3 spark instances and 3 solinas more than enough compressers 2 reverences and a stereo widener
to get it peaking about 85% realtime average load 40%
So im happy with that
I had the sound drop out on the matrixs again
I saved but weird thing is the first instance of spark doesnt produce any sound when its loaded
Everything else produces outputs
You people who know what your doing will have a good chuckle at this project as its OTT and badly put together but i had fun
Apart from the sound dropout everything was rock solid for me even though I was pushing it and purposely using resources unwisely
Ive attached both the files if anyones interested

Triple post im sorry again
Ok this is weird
I go back to open the project that wasnt broken 85 peak
Same thing, same sparks no sound
When i had the sound drop out the second time of the matrix's i reverted to a lot earlier project and rebuilt it the same but using a different csv80 preset
So i load a new instance of spark and copy the pattern and delete the old one
All good got kick and snare etc back
Save it
All should be good
Reload it same thing the spark no sound
So i delete the csv80 and save
Reload the project and sparks ok
I repeated this twice and it fixes the spark so for some reason it doesnt like that combination on load up
I think i have had two bugs one is the Matrix drop out (im asumming its the whole .dll as they all 3 analog lab instances had no sound)
And the csv80 analog lab prevents spark from loading correctly
Also when you try to change preset its just locked in the highlighting moves it just doesnt change preset
I deleted the instance as above in 85 peak project file saved and reopened and when i try to load another instance of lab its the same
highlighting moves but it doesnt change preset
I think i might rebuild the project from scratch without any cubase effects or grouped channels and see if i can replicate it

Thank you
It is weird but we will look into it.
Could you summarize
Cubase exact version and if 64
All plugins exact versions and if 64 and if vst3
Best
Send me a pm or to Ben, please
