Radium

Hi again.
I'm not sure about pitch automation/pitch nodes etc. How does this work? Up to now I've been able to glide notes in the pianoroll, is this what's intended with pitch automation?
Besides, it does not seem to work with VST instruments, is it intended?

Thanks

I partially answer myself. I added a MIDI Message plugin, connected it with a red line to the VST, added an automation track for the Pitch Bend, and it transmits it to the VST.
By the way, it seems like manipulating the MIDI Message track makes a message appear telling me that Radium entered an unexpected state.

Yes, pitch automation is not supported by the VST plugin standard. You need to automate MIDI pitch bend message instead, as you found out.

It would be possible to let pitch automation send out MIDI pitch bend messages, but then things get really complicated, not only by the conversion from absolute pitch to relative pitch, but also that you have to auto-assign MIDI channels to each note (if playing polyphonic), which many users probably don't want, plus that MIDI pitch bend is probably limited in different ways by each VST plugins, and there is no way for Radium to know those limitations. And other issues.

Did you press the "Send" button when you got that message? I can't find any reports about this.

Hi.
Yes, yesterday I pressed "Send". By the way I just tried. The error appears as soon as you add a MIDI message instrument to a track. When you close the window the message reappears shortly thereafter.

Oh, it's that one. Yes, I got it. You can just ignore that message, it's harmless. The bug has been fixed a long time ago too (https://github.com/kmatheussen/radium/c ... 7c96aa8380), but it hasn't been possible to make a release since then.
