ahornberg-vcv-modules's Issues

Tape Recorder extreme voltage

I was trying Tape Recorder for the first time, and somehow ended up with extreme voltage being shown in the port tooltip.

Rack Pro 2.3.0. Windows 10. Plugin 2.1.12

0.5.2 mac release

Seems everything is fine now:

VCVRack crash when closing

On Windows 10 Pro, the latest sources compiled make VCVRack crashes when closing.

Midi Over Audio - some VST midi arps\seq don't send a signal over HOST's outputs

Hi, came from this post https://community.vcvrack.com/t/how-to-send-midi-out-from-vcv-host-using-module-midi-over-audio/12047/36?u=vcvrackideas

Here's a v2 Mac build

Hi,

Here's a Mac build for you if you want it.

had to use this make file & 'make dist':

nice work !

Hi Birgit, I just wanted to leave a note to say that your module compiles cleanly with Fedora 23 and works perfectly in Rack 0.5.x (local build). Looking forward to see/hear what you come up with next. :)

Feature Request: better modeling of tape saturation

I've owned a real Echoplex, and Tape Recorder's model of saturation doesn't sound much like tape saturation. Tape Recorder gets really noisy and develops a clattering kind of distortion. It doesn't sound like tape oversaturation.

There is a GPL-licensed Tape simulator here that you might use as a model: https://github.com/jatinchowdhury18/AnalogTapeModel

Rack crash when closing MIDIOverAudio module

Rack crashes when MIDIOverAudio module is enabled and Rack is closed.

If this is the "annoying message" that the module is warning about in its dialog, then I would consider this not acceptable.

Whatever the module is doing is causing Rack to crash. We need to figure out why this happens and find a solution.

This is the stacktrace:

Build failure on macOS platform

With version 1.5.0:

It's Not Quantizing

This is a fine idea for a module! But in the 1.0.1 Windows build, it doesn't actually quantize. By adjusting the input voltage a bit at a time, I can produce a huge variety of microtones, even when it's set to 12ed2.

DEBUG statements

I noticed, there are various DEBUG statements that are logged in the release version. Can you please disable/remove those in the next version? Thanks!

Feature Request: Minimal overload mode

I've done this with delays set up as loopers (in Reaktor, or VCV Rack as well)

The input to the delay line (or 'tape') is a mix of the output of the delay line and the input. They have a reciprocal relationship: No input = 100% delay line, 50% is 1/2 delay line, half input.

In that case the input can gradually replace the existing delay line contents without going into overload.

v0.6.0dev

Hey, @Ahornberg

Forked your plug for v0.6.0dev Win7. Builds okay but crashed when added to rack for the first time.

Want to move onto 0.6.0dev for my own modules, was easier to fork your's than build mine against the master branch. Have a few to do!

Also crashes when deleting multiple modules with a Segmentation fault in the console. If you planned to update yourself don't spoil the fun of figuring it out but there is some comments I added for changes in the API code in the fork. I can post those here if you planned to update yourself.

Thanks again for the PM on RT!

TapeRecorder: clicky dropout when recording during transport reversal

This may be intentional - if not, here's what I see and hope to fix.

When I run the recorder in ping-pong mode (no speed modulation, just a constant speed ping pong), but input audio extends over the moment when the transport switches from forward to reverse (or vice versa), the resulting recording contains a click and dropout. What I would have expected was a smooth continuous recording of the input audio onto the now reversed buffer - and on playback would not expect to be able to even hear the transition.

(the attached example was a constant volume tone recorded over the reversal).

I've looked through the source code, but don't see anything obvious to cause this. I'm game to try to fix myself and submit a pull request if you have an idea of where the problem might be and can point me to the right part of the code.
