Hi Tele, I think I’m onto something.. I’ll get back to you with an update tomorrow, stay tuned!

Mailed you the goods you requested moments ago.
I discovered that in most cases I will not need to shoot down your GUI to 70% to fit on most forum pages, but I’m going to make one that size anyway just in case. I posted it over in a sim amp/sim tube thread at REAPER forum earlier and it fit very nice. It fit perfect here too.
The fact that it works fine for everybody else but my demon computer is a good thing in some respects. And my issues with it are lessor at this point too. BTW, Cantabile 1.0 very different programme from 2.0 (junk).
Sure hope it can be made perfect, because the more I think about it, the more I think this plugin will be a smash hit among the people of the amp sim forums, digital guitarists. Some keyboards employ OD in up-front position, too, if high-quality enough, and I think this one is. I have been blessed with the ability to help out with various causes when I choose, and I would like to help get this one moving for a while longer whenever it’s good and ready. Plugin would be a nice little self-gift to guitarists during the holidays, if it can be AOK in a week or so.
Did you check the winners of D.C. 2012? I picked 3 out of 4 correctly. Kamioooka synth was my big first choice. Cool cable modular synth! Later . . .
Hi Tele,
I’ve already e-mailed you about the new version that should fix both clicking and your GUI problems. Please let me know if it helps.
Using SoftAmp 3OD as a booster for an amp sim sounds like a good idea. Especially considering that I’m already developing a special booster plugin based on the same tube model. It will take a couple of weeks more though to finish it.
Of course I’ve checked the DC results 🙂 I’ve scored right in the middle of the pack, at 20-something. Pretty good for a first try though. Plus I’ve got some very encouraging private responses from very different kinds of people. I’ve also seen some guys are using it to beef-up the virtual synths sounds, just as you are suggesting.
As for the votes, I’ve conciously voted for those who had somewhat lesser chances to make it to the top 🙂

Thanks, got the email and just now downloaded your 1.04. I’ll be able to give it a good testing Monday afternoon.
Thanks for looking over the configuration textfile I sent, and so glad to hear you experienced a similar phenomenon with the related plugin on REAPER. So good to know my machine isn’t ‘possessed’! This other plugin sounds interesting as well.
It occurred to me that since those skins are openly customisable in the Preferences that perhaps somehow your instructions in the GUI were attempting to ‘write’ to that particular feature in the file. If so, that weakness might be an actual bug in REAPER. I’m only speculating here, but I’ve seen stranger things.
I think there were more entries (55) this year in D.C.’12 than ever before. There were also all manner of bugs to go around. You were up against people such as Bootsie and g200kg this year, guys who have been at it for ages and seem to hit a home run every time. I know for a fact that the Variety of Sound Thrillseeker plugin got some votes purely because of name recognition. Entering yours makes a great first showing in my opinion. I’m guessing you’ll have plugins to release next year. Of course, if you release this next one we’ve been talking about after the first, it would be eligible in the fall also.
Considering that I’ve not only hijacked this thread but probably now stand in danger of boring readers here to tears, I’ll probably reach you by email for further details. I trust someone got something out of our discussion here — an insight into real-time plugin development and all the efort that goes into it.
Cheers!

WOW! Looks like you haven’t passed by here yet, but WOW! You did it, AXP — the plugin is now flawless! No clicking, popping, noises. It works great. No negative effects on the DAW or touchy old Cantabile 1.0 either. Not a flicker on either and that incredible for 1.0. This is going to be a main overdrive plugin for me. I tried it on a few clean wave types on a synth this afternoon and it sounds truly deluxe. Really have to hand it to you and now looking forward to your next creation. Will mail you.

[For anyone following his plugin development, this one is in top shape now and ready to go — a genuine tube(s) sim boost/overdrive plugin that beats the pants off of the Tube Screamer clones and so on. Links are below. You want the latest revision, the 1.04. It’s really cool. I’ve never seen an OD plugin like this one!]

Again, you will want the v1.04.
