I did find some good news playing with this version...
It seems you'd be hard pressed to crash VeSTige now. No worrying about playing with parameters, and adjusting parameters on the fly seems to work beautifully. It means you've got a lot of power now because automations and LFOs appear to work with them. (Have to use the crossed tools icon "control VST Plugin from LMMS Host", and the hard part is figuring out which dial does what compared to the instrument's own UI - particularly if there's a lot of 'em.) Tested with some VST instruments like DSK Overture, DSK AcoustiK Guitarz, or Antopya that seemed to have issues with older versions. Instead of crashing or hanging, it seemed the most I could do was glitch the instrument's native UI while messing with parameters on the fly as something played, but reloading the instrument appears to fix that problem.
So whatever they did to VeSTige... Whoa!
(In a good way.)
But don't just take my word for it. Go and test it out, and see what works compared to what used to crash.
I guess that's good news for some power-users interested in having greater control of instruments. (Or if you're more like me and have fun experimenting to see what kind of weird and cool noises you can get out of your computer.)
