Description

Issue type

VST bug

Description with steps to reproduce
  • Load a VST3 plugin that uses the recommended "distributed" approach where Controller and Processor are not directly connected, e.g. VirtualCZ...
  • Change parameters in the plug-in UI/Controller.
  • The processor/DSP is never updated, since parameter changes are not received from the controller.

Note: plugins that use the SingleComponentEffect base class don't have this problem in MuseScore
Note: the bug can be reproduced using the iPlug2/IPlugInstrument example here. In order to compile the "VST3 Distrubuted" target, you can apply the attached patch.
iPlug2-22-34-38.patch

Note: I believe the problem will also be present in the VST3 SDK examples
