Weird, OK, thanks for the feedback. There will be an Aalto update soon, so please let me know if this clears up or not after the 1.5 update.
Hi Charlie, that seems totally reasonable. It can listen over OSC so you can change the number of touches with a dial for performance.
Still working out a couple of bugs! But very close.
Very good suggestions, thanks.
Thanks for the log. I clipped it out because very long.
The Aalto version is right in the upper right of the interface by your name. I think upgrading to 1.4.1 will fix the problem you are seeing.
Hi dadek,
Thanks for your patience. I have been working on this for the past two weeks. It just turned out to be a bigger job than I thought to do anything that works. The good news is, I have notes working again and some basic controllers also, and will definitely send something out this week.
Hmm.. I'm not sure it's Aalto. Those things in combination ought to be stable. But if you can get a crash log for me, I might have a better idea.
You could also try another host if you have one handy, and see if that helps.
It couldn't hurt to make sure you have the most current version of Aalto, 1.4.1. I try to make it better over time not worse, and mostly succeed with this.
In general, patches are not always compatible with a previous version. So if your patches are made on an Aalto newer than the equivalent version of Aalto CM, they may not work. I think Aalto CM was equivalent to version 1.3.
Thanks for the report! This will help others I'm sure. Too bad about the MIDI.
I have also heard that the Blue Cat MB7 mixer plugin works with Aalto to some degree. There may be graphics issues, I think, but the MIDI may work better.
Anyhow, I realize that native AAX would be best.
Hi Adam,
It would be a fair amount of work to port to AAX, and I have my hands full supporting VST and AU at the moment. Things can change though, and I appreciate the feedback.
Another option for you may be DDMF Metaplugin . A customer tells me that this plugin wrapper/combiner can allow Aalto to run inside it, in Pro Tools 11.
OK, I'll have to get a copy of Cubase and try to reproduce this.
Does it work on any other hosts on your Windows machine?
Hi Simon,
Sorry for the trouble. There is a problem with the 1.4 Windows release that is affecting some users. On some systems a required Windows support DLL cannot be found. Usually the user sees an error such as "msvcp100.dll was not found." Depending on the host, you may not get a message. I have not seen it cause a crash before, however.
If that is the problem, you may be able to fix it by downloading this Windows developer support pack:

Please let me know if it works. And what version of Windows you have.
I'm just saying "this fall..." Technically that gives me until mid-December but I hope to get it out sooner.
Thanks for the good comments.
Tilt will be a tone control EQ type filter inspired by Quad hifi amps! A neat circuit.
I have blown up many other physical modeling plugins from other makers as well—even ones that don't allow pitch bend!
marc0, thanks for the idea about preorders. I like to keep things simple on the purchasing side but it's good to remember I could do that if I needed to.
I will not have a chance to try 10.9 for a little while. I don't foresee any problems, but ay reports would be much appreciated!
The new Garage Band X for 10.9 is sandboxed, which may cause a whole world of problems with Aalto and other plugins. I'll have to investigate that soon but for now my advice is, stay away from Garage Band X.
Kaivo will not have an audio input, at least at first.
Kaivo has 8 voices.
Aalto will get more voices: not in the next update, but in the update after that.
If you are on a Mac the factory patches are in /Library, and the user patches are in ~/Library. Open the "Go" menu in the Finder and then hold down option to see the Library in the menu. Apple hides this folder by default now, which is kind of annoying.
Hi Hans-André,
Paul’s Soundplane is sold. I am still planning to start another run of instruments in January.
This is still near the top of my list. Thanks for your patience.
Questions are fine! This is part of my morning customer support ritual. I just probably won't make any more videos, because they really pull me out of my programing groove for a day or so.
CPU use should be somewhere around Aalto’s. Maybe more depending on the Body type, which can potentially get expensive.
I'll probably send out some more sounds---those are quicker
It would be really great, but it's hard to represent the patcher in MIDI in a useful way. I've been thinking about it off and on for two years.
I don't know. I guess Peak won't be updated any more, so to be honest I can't throw too much time into this.
Are you using Peak for editing / processing files? There are other good editors out there in active development, including Triumph from Audiofile Engineering.
How about I just finish the plugin? :-)
will it be possible (or planned in future) to use kaivo as an effect?
That will not be possible. The sounds need to be analyzed before use in the granulator. You can of course import your own sounds.
I would love to be able to add my own functions to the LFO 2D
I think that is a very good idea. I want to take the time to do it well, so it may not be possible in the first release but I'll definitely add it at some point.
That is strange but I'm glad you got it working. I'll keep an eye out for any Aalto code that could cause this behavior.
been working on it since I got that demo video out. I'll send something ASAP.
I just need to talk to my T-Shirt guy and make it happen---sorry but the new plugin has eaten most of my brain!
Hi, I had the chance to talk with Brian and Ezra quite a bit about hooking a Soundplane up to Aleph. We think it will be possible, and I'm excited to do it when I can get my hands on an Aleph, but we don't have an immediate timetable. And we definitely don't know those other details yet, though we can think of some things that would be fun.
Hi, I have no plans to update Aalto Solo anytime soon.
