    Unfortunately the update is still not working on my MacBook Pro, doesn’t open in standalone or as a plugin. Updated, reinstalled, rebooted etc.

    Ok, that’s a bummer. Thanks for letting me know !

    I’ve double-checked all the compatibility settings. But my MacOS knowledge is limited.

    Honestly don’t sweat about it, I doubt there’s many old buggers like me using such an outdated OS! I’m going to update the OS on that one, just waiting until I get my hands on the new M4 (withheld by the Mrs until after Christmas), but not going to be using the old one for music anyway. The M4 will be my dedicated music laptop, and it’s great on there (quick test when she wasn’t looking) and my M1 Mini.

    Thanks for trying, it’s a 5 star app and I’m loving it!

    Re: cable opacity maybe cables could be made transparent when we’re dragging a connection. No idea how much of a burden that would be developing, just a thought

    The cables are transpatent when dragging another one.
    Also, after using Solderbox for a while, the patchpoints are quite well known. There are not many and grouped by module.

    Even with the most memorable of patch points. No one lives their music tech life using the same toys day in day out, especially in the land of plugins, be they on the desktop or iPadOS. And on that basis, you end up having to relearn the patch points each time you return to a plugin having not used it for a number of weeks.

    The greater proportion of patchable plugins on mobile and desktop manage to find a solution that doesn't feel like a compromise, so I'm sure @brambos can find a workable solution; his day job after all centres on UX.

    Yeah that was a dumb comment, shows how little time I had with this thing, as I was going from memory. And your other point is also valid. Sorry for the noise.

  • FYI: just launched Logic for macOS on mini M1. Works great. The Solderbox fx failed validation on first launch, but selecting it, reset/rescan passed fine (as someone here also mentioned)

  • @brambos no biggie, but I can't use the new stacking cable feature consistently, for instance:

    • Start with "- Init -" instrument preset
    • Drag from "osc 1" to "vca in": it works
    • Drag from "in 1" to "osc 1": it doesn't work
    • Tap and hold on "osc 1" and drag to "fm amt", it works
    • Drag from "in 1" to "osc 1": now it works

    Are you sure about that? Dragging from in 1 to osc 1 when there's already a cable in there should never work, and doesn't for me. The way I understood it stacked cables only work if you long-press an output and drag to an input.

    I can't reproduce using the steps you listed above.

    With version 1.0.1? That’s how I understood the release note about stackable cables, but I could be wrong

    I see. I hadn't seen the update.

  • Did anyone ask what the relationship is between the top synth params and the bottom patch cable area? Like is it more sequencer related?

    I love this thing. It’s almost as good as Hilda (best synth ever); but even funner to play with.

    I think it’s all very clearly and succinctly explained in the manual, but if anything remains unclear just ask 😃

  • I was looking all over for that thing! Thanks

    It looks like dragging from input to an output that already has a stack works but dragging from an input to an output that has only 1 connection doesn’t.

  • Hey Bram, I just wanted to say that I bought this as soon as I heard you’d released a new synth without even reading anything about it. This has exceeded my expectations in every way. SolderBox is a ton of fun, and it sounds great. Thank you so much for making so many incredible synths.

    Confirmed. Quick 1.0.2 update incoming shortly.

    Also note to self: "beautify" your code before testing, not after. :/

    Thanks for confirming! Apple's AUVal (the validation tool that Logic uses) is such a finicky thing. "On second thought, yeah.. let's let this one pass anyway". :#

  • @brambos Custom scale box no longer moving off screen when AU UI is expanded B)

    Thanks for the rapid fix

    Thanks for the heads-up.. Can you explain how to reproduce it (and in which host)?

    It seems to work as expected on my end, but I may be overlooking a specific scaling trick of a certain host?

    Thanks! I have to re-learn that lesson almost every quarter :)

  • People who used to have issues with loading the plugin in Logic on iPad, could you please confirm the issue is now solved for you too? <3

    I thought you had deliberately fixed it in the update. I had reported it moving off screen in Cubasis earlier in this thread, but it is now working fine (pre Cubasis 3.7 update). It does move down slightly still, but nowhere near as much as before and you can still see all the controls

  • I almost missed this. Have purchased it now. Sounds great.

    Thanks for confirming!

    It is supposed to only show when the screen gets too narrow for the split-screen mechanism to work properly, and it can indeed move around a bit depending on the exact aspect ratio of the window, so that sounds like it’s by design :)

  • @brambos:
    Thank you Brambos, thank you Hainbach for this thing of beauty.
    BUT – Please ad a Start/Stop function to the Pulsequencer. I even would pay some extra money for this. Starting/stopping the Pulsequencer with the host transport would improve usability a lot!

    Thank @brambos & @jakoB_haQ you for this one. Despite being another impulse buy, I believe this can make some magic in time….. Respectfully, @brambos has been taking my money since I became an iOS user (and I wouldn’t have it any other way)
    👍🏿👍🏽👍🏾

    Wow, what a journey it has been (not just for me, but the entire mobile music plugin world has come such a long way since 2016!).

    Man, you was literally one of main players who BUILT this industry ... mad respect.

    What is that nearly unreadable typeface for the logo? Is that supposed to look like a street tag or something? If so, I don’t get the relationship to modular. Are street tags still a thing?

    A style of artwork by Jakob I imagine? It brought some memories from youth seeing that style on the app for sure. Never got up though as I’m petrified of heights nor was I anu amount of artistically creative enough to do so that street style graffiti. I thought it was dope

    I hear you.

    I used to participate in this thing called tagging and graffiti

    Oh no.
    You as well. :)

    I started reading the whole graffiti side of things and started shaking my head.
    I used to tag when I was a teenager however I didn't get round to doing graffiti pieces
    because fine art and music got to me instead. ;)

    I still keep an interest.
