Sounds great.
but it seems a warning vs. Spitfire audio is due.
definitly for those on a M1mac !

here is a YT video (see at the end), showing how to resolve the problem.
its 20 months old, so things could or should have changed.

But: i bought sayed choir today, and another one of the cheap ones,
and i run into exactly the same problems !
i could solve it on the VST, but not on the AU.
The comments in the video refer to, that sayed problem comes back again and again and again. Honestly, i´ve never seen such a frustrating comment “Rain”, than like below of this video.
As great the Guys at spitfire audio might be.
…guess its not something one should recommend without a pointer to this video, AND its comment section:

i mean, i allready started to think about if i should buy more of that stuff…

I was unaware of the issue on Macs. The last (and only) time I used a Mac was late 1989 when I joined Motorola and Macs were using the 68000 chip. I lasted less than 6 months on that laptop and convinced the powers that be to let me go back to DOS/Windows on a PC. Been there ever since.

seems, its not only vs. Macs.
But the above video is close to two years old.
…read the comment section below the video. its insane !

everyboy LOVES the Sound…but MANY deal with the “presets not found” Problem.
Can´t tell how it looks now on win machines.
On the M1mac, its definitly still alive.
Not shure if i will have to go thru the whole procedure again and again.

to notes: the problem does NOT affect librarys made for kontakt.

It works fine on windows 11.
Both sopranos&altos and tenors&basses presets are present.
Few presets but very nice.

Like the plugin as well very much.
However, within GP the plugin GUI is shown only partly, I can’t reach e.g. the settings button. I tried this hint, however no change: https://gigperformer.com/some-plugin-windows-open-up-too-small/.
Any hint from someone?

Epic choir parameters / Interface / Default scale

If you’re using vst, have you tried vst3…or the other way around?

Unfortuantely I can not access the parameters (settings) button as not shown in the GUI…

Just tried it - same situation with vst and vst3

can you post a screenshot ?

sure:

Btw… another strange thing is that the green numeric values for Expression etc are not updated when the corrresponding slider is moved (the slider caption shows the correct value). Happens only with this plugin + LABS Synth.

Can you try in another DAW?

GP is (of course) the only DAW I know and own…

You can download a trial version of Ableton

By the way, Gig Performer is not a DAW

Is Abelton usage similar to GP? GP is my first step into the world of VST and DAW and whatever…

No it is different.
Just install it and then load the plugin in a midi track

Understood. I thought only the bottom part was missing.

You should submit a request in the spitfire audio support centre with your screenshot attached.
