Zenbeats - Plugin UI bugs

I want to like zenbeats but every time i try i have issues with plugin ui not working, is this just me? For me the dealbreaker is Eventide Blackhole doesn’t work at all, comes up as a few garbled pixels. I tried both windowed and non window mode. Anyone had this and been able to fix it? I’m using a 2017 ipad pro on ios 16.

    If these plugins are IAA (apps, not Audio Units), try opening the plugin app from the Home Screen, before connecting from Zenbeats.

    Please clarify what you mean by "windowed and non window mode". Do you mean the new StageManager?

  • Seems like not a single one of the Eventide AUv3 plug-ins work properly in ZenBeats (On my 11" M1 iPadPro iPadOS16.3) be it in windowed or non-windowed mode!

    So far ZenBeats is the ONLY DAW I've encountered this with. I've checked with GarageBand, BM3, Cubasis 3, NS2, AUM and Drambo as those are the ones I have installed at the moment and they work with the others but NOT with Zenbeats...

    ...also Zenbeats is the only DAW (of those I've tested with) that exhibits random burst of noise when loading/unloading and toggling AUv3 Plug-ins on/off?! (Feels almost like the UI and Audio are handled by the same 'thread' causing the audio glitches).

    Don't know if @MatthewAtZenbeats and his team are already aware the Eventide issues?!

    If they are I'm sure it will be fixed in due time :sunglasses:

    Cheers!

    Hi,

    All Moog plugs come up in zenbeats ridiculously small. I don't use zb that often and I only noticed it since last month.
    8th gen on 14.x

    All Moog Plug-ins (Model D, Model 15 & Animoog Z) work perfectly in in both windowed and un-windowed mode on my 11" M1 iPadPro running iPadOS16.3.
    (When the this post about Eventide plug-ins not working in ZenBeats I checked most of my currently installed plug-ins).

  • They know about that (Eventide). I have reported it about month ago.

    Thanks, good to know :sunglasses:
    I've already tried to googling but do you know if they have a public 'known issues' page somewhere on the internet?
    This would save some time in those cases when we bump into issues that have already been reported.

    Let the developers know. Even if they are aware of the issue , the more people they hear from , the more likely it is to get addressed sooner rather than later.

    Same here and not just the UI

    I mentioned it in the main thread of the app:
    https://forum.audiob.us/discussion/50215/zenbeats-version-3/p30#Comment_1164762

    BTW, Rhino (guitar amp) is also showing up with the mobile layout and cannot be used

    how massive the fix list is due to Zenbeats being the only DAW available for every platform (Windows, Mac, Android, IOS, iPad OS).

    I don't disagree, however it's not the only one

    nevermind, I missed the "iOS" part.

    When thinking about it, I would rather not have it iOS but just on iPad / Laptop / Desktop (if that means it's more stable / free of bugs) and potentially a simplified version for iOS (a concept like Ableton Note that then integrates with the "bigger" version)

    FL Studio has a similar concept but in their case the split is PC / Mobile, I guess for technical reason (PC version is still built in Delphi if I'm not mistaken)

    Will check😎.

    I have made the developer aware of your feedback and questions from both ZB threads.

    It is a setting inside of Zenbeats that basically changes the window behavior between movable and fixed filling the screen, with sizeable windows in the pipeline I believe.

  • Hi Everyone,

    Thanks for the reports. We are aware of the issues with Eventide plugins in Zenbeats and we are working on it.

    We don't have publis list of known issues at this point, but I like the idea.
