    If I've purchased GigFast Lite, is there any reason I would also need NamXT?

    I can imagine once the NAM XT mono compatibility update is out it might use less CPU than Gigfast

    No, GigFast is already already handling the inputs in that way.

    Oh that's good to know. Thanks for the info.

    Thanks for reporting, saving the presets to GigFast's own library and recalling them is our recommended solution currently. We will check and see if we can fix this.

    pretty sure the same problem will occur when loading a Loopy Pro project & GigFast instances will not restore correctly. fwiw, i reported a similiar issue in MacOS/Reaper by email a few months back.

    Do you have a set of steps that you could describe?

    my trial period has expired so i can't verify, but iirc: w new Reaper project, new instance of GigFast; set an extreme tone setting, save Reaper project, quit & reopen. GigFast would visually show the extreme tone setting but actually had default values in effect until the tone knobs were manually tweaked. this was w GigFast Lite 2.2, Reaper 7.30 with MacOS 14.4 on an M2 Macbook Air.

    I misunderstood. I thought you were having a problem with Gigfast Lite not loading correctly in Loopy Pro.

    sorry. that was @filo01. i thought my similar experience on MacOS might be relevant. & i do think @filo01's problem will also occur when loading Loopy Pro projects. using GigFast presets is not an alternative in that case.

    I found something I think you should know about running GigFast in Loopy Pro and hopefully it can be resolved. I had the same problem with the ShimmerFX app from 4 Pockets and Paul was able to fix the error.
    What it is: When saving the current GigFast settings to the Loopy Pro preset, an action occurs in the background that causes everything to be visually OK when the preset is reloaded, but not data-wise - the position of the knobs doesn't correspond with what I'm hearing.
    It's easy to test this by, for example, pulling back the bass completely, and you can hear the sound suddenly change when the preset is saving into Loopy Pro. Then, when you recall the preset you just saved, you see the bass knob pulled back, but the sound doesn't match it.

    Here's what Paul from 4Pockets wrote to me about this issue:
    "It is supposed to save the settings as saved as part of the session in the host which is does properly in AUM for instance.
    It looks like you are running in Loopy Pro, and there is a known issue with AUv3’s not being properly restoring under Loopy which I’ve reported to Michael many times. It seems for some reason Loopy is also trying to set a preset during the session save. I’ve seen this many times and not sure why he is doing it."

    Attn: @Michael , @espiegel123

    I dug a little bit deeper and here is my findings.
    1. I'm able to unlock/lock Presence and and Resonance knobs by recalling of saved Loopy Pro patches. Not every time, but at least once in 10 tries for sure. Here's a screen from Flo's video where he uses the VAC-036 model and both mentioned knobs are disabled. My GigFast app in Loopy Pro screen is in the middle. Both knobs are enabled.

    Here is a video demonstration:
    https://youtube.com/watch?v=e4G2Wmqz14I
    2. In this example I'm recalling of saved Loopy Pro patch with MJM model and the sound changes significantly in several cases:
    https://youtube.com/watch?v=IFIuG5P1Qr4
    I hope this can be fixed, @ArteraDSP . If there's anything I can do to help, please let me know.

    Thanks for reporting, saving the presets to GigFast's own library and recalling them is our recommended solution currently. We will check and see if we can fix this.

    Thank you, fingers crossed.

    I've tested loading of project with GigFast (GF) app inside in Loopy Pro on several scenarios and I cannot confirm any issues there.
    Init: Open LP, new project, add GigFast app, set extreme settings, save LP project.
    1. Close and reopen LP - sound corresponds to extreme GF settings.
    2. Switch to different project and back - sound corresponds to extreme GF settings.
    3. Switch to different project, close and reopen LP, switch to GF project - sound corresponds to extreme GF settings.

    So it looks like the problem is only with saving/recalling Loopy Pro GF preset, not when loading the whole Loopy Pro project.

    thanks for checking that out @filo01. MacOS/IOS maybe different, & things may have changed since my trial back in January.

    @ArteraDSP : I don't know if this is a Loopy issue or an GigfastLite issue -- you might be able to tell easily from your side. It looks like what is happening is that when Loopy Pro restores the the state and the model changes that EQ params don't restore unless one re-selects the channel.

    We might have maybe one or two options that we have not tried to further improve the CPU usage but for the most part our processing is as good as it gets. That is why we don't see many native NAM supporting hardwares at tonex price point.

    It’s not a plugin. It’s a feature of Loopy Pro that shows the % of its DSP usage broken down by plugin. It’s reached by tapping the little bitty percentage indicator at the right of the mixer or bottom right of the loops view.

    AUM has something similar, with even more useful info.

    No plugin can ever supply that kind of info, so if you see one in the App Store don’t buy it. 😉

    Haha oh man, I started by searching in the Loopy manual (since it's obvs loopy Pro from the pic, but it doesn't have the standard buttons on the top frame), but zero results for DSP or Stats or Statistics

    And then was finding nothing from either google or the internal LPF search

    Thank you for the info!

    I've only known about obsessively watching that percentage (why I turned off fps counter on Steam years back. 'Why did it just drop from 90fps to 87?! Gotta tweak it!')...

    Never crossed my mind to tap it xD

    Hooray for learning something new today!

    Loving the app, great work!

    Feature request:
    I would love to be able to dial in my presets on my iMac and then load them up on my iPad for the gig.
    I cant seem to find anyway to save and transfer the presets - Is this possible?
    It would be killer to have this or even an iCloud sync option that keeps the app identical across devices.

    “Did anyone notice such a big difference between ToneX and GigFast Lite/NAM XT? Both are based on neural modeling technology, while others rely more classic circuit/algorithmic modeling.
