I do have the midi control mapped to the Kontakt drawbars. My problem is the widgets do not update to adjustments done to the drawbars in Kontakt as shown in this video:
I just tested too and it works perfectly when moving a drawbar in Kontakt, it moves also in GP. But when you change a present in Kontak, it doesn’t update the drawbars via host automation, so no way to update the GP drawbar this way.
Hmm, I wonder if we could have some kind of mechanism to explicitly request current parameter values for a plugin. That way, if the preset change is triggered by Gig Performer, then we could ask for parameter values. This would be used for plugins thst don’t automatically send the updates automatically
I ran into the same situation, when building a rackspace with my Arturia B3. Everything fine: drawbars etc. are mapped and responding. However when I change a Preset in the B3 plug-in the GP Drawbars etc. do not get updated?!
As a workaround I figured out, that I can trigger an update by selecting Preset01 in the GP Plugin Manager?! The Arturia preset stays the same, GP drawbars get updated and everything is fine.
So basically there is an update mechanism, but no dedicated (manual) sync…
@pianopaul I’m also on a Mac (Big Sur, latest Arturia Release, AU Plugin).
How do you change the Presets? I can either go with the arrow keys in the Arturia Library bar on top of the plugin window, or select a setting in the Library. I can hear the sound change, drawbars in the plugin chang, but the drawbars in GP stay at their position. I can even hit one of the black keys in the plugin - same thing.
If I now click on the … item on the top right of the Plugin Window click on Build-In Presets → ProgramChange01 (or any other) the GP drawbars get updated without changing the sound…
I can select from he list or use the up/down arrows, everything works and widgets get synchronized.
I am on Catalina and used the vst version
now tested au version, is working
