Default VST3 channel count BUG (Softube, PSP)

This is an age old bug, i'll try to post it again.

All SOFTUBE products and now the new PSP Saturator does this.
Only the vst3 versions, NOT the vst2.
There are other companies affected too, but i can't recall now.

If you put a plugin from those companies to a track that has more than 2 channels, the track will revert to 1 channel, or only the left channel will work. If you now change back to 2 channels, the plugins will work normally.

If you change the number of channels to more than 2 while the plugins are on a track, the bug will face again, dropping the channels to 1.

I know. It's annoying. I believe the issue is on the side of the plugin. You could try raising a ticked with Softube about this and see what they say. I wouldn't have high hopes though, they don't care that much about the existing user base in my experience. If you do, please report back here.

Already did a year ago i think... they didn't even respond. I might try again.

workaround: Open the pin mapper window, and set the vst3 bus size to stereo

I did just that but it only helps if you set this every time.

I see that this setting is saved with every preset. So i made a default 'init' preset with Vst3 bus size: 2

If i now load the plugin again, the bug persists, but the Vst3 bus size will say: 2
I have to put the plugin offline and online again to it acknowledge the bus size and work correctly. (or change the bus size to another number, then change back to 2, but this only works on Softube, not PSP

It does the same with both the Softube and PSP plugins.
If i load the plugins from the FX selector, the saved bus size will get ignored, but if i offline/online the plugins, they work.

One more note:

This is a super minor problem, but the pin connector does not update it's content if you change presets while it's open. (with mousewheel)
