SPC Plugins • Re: ArcSyn v4.0.4 announced with M1 support

Okay, so I just tested the latest v4.0.4 beta.

Oops! I forgot to say that the new build is only the VST3 itself, not the installer - that is still the previous build. Sorry for not making that clear I've removed the link to the Windows installer temporarily.

That might also explain why you had problems with the installer. Could you please try downloading just the VST3 itself, not the installer, and giving that a try?

Yeah, sorry for not specifying clearer, but I did try both methods. First, I tried the VST3 installer, as explained above. And when that didn't work (i.e. still no audio output upon reloading older projects), I did then try the other method of downloading just the zipped VST3 folder itself from your above beta webpage link and manually replaced the ArcSyn VST3 folder with the downloaded zipped VST3 folder instead.

Unfortunately, both of these methods elicited the same result of having no audio output within ArcSyn v4.0.4, when reloading projects saved using the previous v4.0.3 version.

I even tried a third method (just in case) of re-installing ArcSyn v4.0.3 (which still works perfectly fine within FL Studio) and then just manually replacing that v.4.0.3 installation with the v4.0.4 zipped VST3 folder. To no avail.

This was tested on Windows 11 (current update) in FL Studio 2024.2 [Build 4503] (i.e. the latest official release).

Brand new instances of ArcSyn v4.0.4 have absolutely no problems working and always (thus far) seem to instantiate with enabled audio output. But for some reason (whatever that is), FL Studio continues to disable all saved instances of previous versions of ArcSyn, when loaded within ArcSyn v.4.0.4.

But as mentioned previously, while not an ideal solution (perhaps from your perspective, as you will likely want to avoid future customer tech queries about this issue, once v.4.0.4 and onward are officially released). I personally don't mind manually re-enabling each audio output of ArcSyn v4.0.4 and resaving my older projects, now that you have identified what the issue was (and the workaround).
