Hi All
Been a while
Im wanting to simply use a midi plugin that simulates the guitar synth hold functions of old eg sustain vs hold and play over top of held notes (infinity hold) etc. Did it ages ago...works nicely.
So to make sure all was ok before I spent too much time on porting my own stuff for use as a vst plugin; I installed the pdmidi example.(PDVst)
No problems, installed fine
BUT
When it loads...the cpu in whatever host I load it into maxes out.

I tried turning of the inputs (setting the init file to inputs = 0) etc but no avail
I have the latest PD installed into the vst plugin directory using the new way of installation

Any ideas??

Cheers

PD version 0.61-4
Hosts
Kore 2 64 (last version)
Ableton 10.17 64bit

Hello. I was the last maintainer of pdVst, but I abandonned this project.
The cpu peak occurs when puredata + Tcl/Tk is loading. Hopefully it doesn't crash the host but for my own needs it did the job and I didn't investigate further.
If you need only puredata Vanilla I'd strongly recommend you to use
Camomile plugin , actively maintained and better integrated within modern hosts. If you need externals, there are some tricks to do it with pd~, but it's more complicated.
