Airwindows - A Fresh Approach: Looking for some testers and feedback

[baconpaul (Paul)]

@Schabbes

Are you planning to release this as VST3, too?

@Schabbes

Yeah, just would be super convenient to have them all in one plugin… and right now VST3 would be the one that I could use everywhere

@Guenon

This collection, as a multi-effect, loadable directly into a DAW (without always hosting it inside VCV) when all you need is some Airwindows goodness on a channel

@baconpaul

The same technique could make a single juce plugin quite easily. Just my list is long etc.

Enjoy!

[baconpaul (Paul)]

Oh in addition to the plugin being available in clap and other daw formats, the feature to filter by recommended / basic / all etc as shown by Chris in the above video is also now in the rack plugin - as is the fix to kcathederal he mentioned (which was identified by a member of this community!)

[TroubledMind]

This is amazing, it makes the vst plugins infinitely more usable!

[auretvh (Auret Van Heerden)]

Awesome!!! Thank you so much Paul and Chris!

[DaveVenom (Dave Benham)]

A wonderful collaboration continues to bear fruit!

[Squinky]

Yes. I myself have never liked those super heavy photo realistic plugin uis.

[Guenon]

This is HUGE, thanks a lot! You and Chris and the whole Surge team just rock so much

[gc3 (gc)]

This is ridiculously wonderful. Thanks to you and Chris and all!!!

[Schabbes]

oooooh weeeeeeh!

I seem to have forgotten how to implement the latest version of Airwindows. It does not update automatically through the library, right?

Could someone give me a slight push? Thanks

[Andre_M (Yier Sansi)]

Yeah, you have to update it manually. The link on github is in the starting post (I’ll double it here just in case, cause sometimes I also forget where it is, haha - Release Nightly · baconpaul/airwin2rack · GitHub)

[Jens.Peter.Nielsen]

Hot tip:

Put the Night-Bin module in your template, and enjoy near automatic updates of airwindows amongst others.

Questionable Modules Night-bin

[baconpaul (Paul)]

Oh cool I’ll add this to the read me this weekend and also tag a new version in the library

Everything for Chris and me is full automated and automatable except updating in the library so I usually do it when someone bugs me or I’m otherwise in the code.

2.13.0 is hanging in the library update ( constant red dot) on my windows 10 vcv 2.5.2.machine.

EDIT, I’m also on 2.6.3 (DontKnowWhy I thought I was on 2.5.2 )

Installed the nightly 2.14.0. and that works.

[Alphagem-O]

Confirming that Airwindows 2.13.0 update also hangs with WIN10 VCV2.6.3.

[cschol (Christoph)]

macOS (arm64) and GNU/Linux builds of 2.13.0 work. Can someone provide a log output?

[LarsBjerregaard]

There’s one here:

Airwindows 2.13.0

AirWindows 2.13.0 on Windows 11 tries to update and fails every time.

[baconpaul (Paul)]

Don’t think I’m doing anything special.

Does the nightly work for folks?

[baconpaul (Paul)]

Oh I see Peter says the nighty works. So sounds like something in library land has changed which makes this hang?

[baconpaul (Paul)]

@cschol the nightly builds with an older version of the toolchain, if that helps?

Can we just revert to the 2.12 binary in the library for now. I don’t have time to fix a windows rack toolchain problem. Or do you not retain the old binaries?
