How is that related to this pre-release? If the bug is already in a released version then you should be posting in the Bug Reports forum.

I have posted in bugs and there is no answer. So i can assume they din't read it and it's related with this release because it's expected and if they can fix it, manny reaper users will be happy and not confused by this and make reaper look better in the picture.

Also enabling / disabling a plugin is not writing as it used to be. I don't know when it started, i just know it used to work (one of the buttons only which was actually a nitpick)

To be fair, I think deeb posted a reminder about a bug, and it's even a regression if I understand well, not an FR...

can someone explain what all those updates about the pin connector dialog I/O ?
is it possible to route vst/i's in parallel inside a single track with these latest updates?

"+ VST: add option in pin connector dialog I/O menu to pass through or zero out unused output channels"

Parallel routings were always possible, going way way back. It's just that I/O pins window got some minor UI tweaks.

Is this a fix for certain plugin not Note-Off(ing) when they should?

Open the plugin pin connector and route:
VSTi 1 -> output 1+2
VSTi 2 -> output 3+4
VSTi 3 -> output 5+6
VST (fx) 1: in 1+2, out 1+2
VST (fx) 2: in 3+4, out 3+4
VST (fx) 3: in 5+6, out 5+6
And add the following plugin at the end of your chain:
JS: 8x Stereo to 1x Stereo Mixer

This is a long-standing design choice — you can’t have invisible armed envelopes. It might be possible to change at some point but it’s not a bug and doesn’t belong in a pre-release nor RC thread

Yeah, it is possible... it´s just a hassle to work inside the Pin-Connector when creating complex Instrument/Fx Layers. Especially when inserting/embed new FXs into the excisting FX-Layer (--> always need to manually route it) and this can be a pain if one uses it a lot. Also you totally loose track of the routing when you use it on a lot of tracks (I always need to desipher my own "fx-layer creations" in the FX-window when I want to go back to an "older" track to insert a new FX somewhere inside the layer :-)). (only my opinion)

Ontopic: RC1 is working like a charm over here.

Ah I remember this now
It was so clumsy I guess I just wanted to forget it.

so with the new feature, is it easier to track the parallel routings?

There is no "new" feature regarding routing management here, just some UI optimizations inside the Pin-Connector Window --> like adjusting the scroll-bar color etc.

yes its a nightmare to route like this...
it seems that everything is there and it just need a native GUI.


if these updates are about the fx pins, so maybe its a good time to update the routing GUI also?

Default CPU Power significantly worse in this version

It seems the changes to VST efficiency may have caused this RC version to be significantly less powerful on my system than 0480+DEV version.

RT processing power is clipping passed 100% in the RC version and not in the 0480+DEV version or public release.

There are some optimizations in the dev builds that are not ready for release, maybe 6.28!

Thanks Justin!

As always, it's greatly apricated when you work on CPU optimization.

You guys are the best!
