T-Force Alpha Plus Problems

[thetrainmaster1361]

Hello,
A couple months ago, I started producing a trance song using LMMS. I used mainly T-Force Alpha Plus, a free trance synthesizer. I have used this VST for months without issue. Well, my trance song needed some mixing, so I opened the program after taking a break and not touching it for a few weeks. I found that every layer I created with T-Force Alpha Plus was the wrong pitch. The pitch slider was not the issue. When I did some testing, I found some other VST plugins had this issue (Kairatune did too) and some did not. I'm thinking there might be something causing LMMS to conflict with some VSTs, but I am not sure what it might be. I remember having some audio issues where it kept loading using Dummy a couple of months ago, but I had fixed that. Not sure if that was related or not. Anyways, I am utterly perplexed, and my song is ruined if I can't figure this out. Thanks for helping me.

Which OS are you using? And if it's Linux, what distro and did you do anything extra to Wine?
Is it happening just when you listen to a track, or during the export too?
Is it the same in other hosts? (if you can test it)

[thetrainmaster1361]

Windows 10 Home; so far, just when I listen, I haven't attempted an export; and what do you mean by other hosts?

[ac220]

I meant other programs that can use VSTs.

Anyway, I'm not familiar enough with Win10 (or LMMS, really) to tell anything concrete, except the silly idea that you somehow changed the root note in the Vestige without noticing (there should be a green dot above A4 in Vestige keyboard. If it's anywhere else,the instrument is played as if that note was A4.)


From what you told about trying other VSTs this seems to be unlikely, but worth checking anyway.

Should be ok.
There is however a couple of bugs reports that points in direction of pitch-issues, the are however octave related.
I do not have the vst in question

No, notes are not compromised, you can insert any other instrument instead of the current.

The image shown to you addresses the base-note option, however if the pitch is 'off' then it is unlikely that it is 'off' in halfsteps, so it is more likely that you -could- find correct pitch using the PITCH-dial

However, the most important thing is:
What LMMS version have you installed?

What I actually meant was that it might cause the problem, not to offer it as a possible solution. I accidentally clicked it once while trying out different presets and was quite confused before realising what happened.

And yes, LMMS version is important.

Thanks for responding. I am on the latest version of LMMS. I will be able to test the pitch dial later this​ afternoon or evening, and I'll let you know how that goes. The base note hasn't changed - I immediately suspected it was the culprit, but it wasn't, and moving it around I couldn't seem to find a compatible base note.

No we need the actual series-nm.
The number that is shown when you load the program, and also shown in the windows tittle-bar. The whole ID.

Sorry, my mistake. v1.1.3, 64 bit; if you need more information, I can look, I hope it's enough

Yep. That's the info he's asking for.
