Larry Shelby Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 We are happy to announce that updates are now available for all Pulsar Audio plug-ins. Our plug-ins previously relied on OpenGL for graphics rendering. However, display problems were reported due to compatibility issues with some specific graphics drivers. To solve this, we have developed a new graphics rendering system that uses the best available graphics features, such as Direct3D, Vulkan, or OpenGL, improving compatibility and optimizing resources. In addition, we have also fixed some major bugs on macOS: a crash on Pro Tools on ARM systems and a scanning problem in Audio Unit on Final Cut. Note for Mac users: from this version on, our plug-in bundles are renamed on Mac, to avoid conflicts with other plug-ins: for example "Mu.vst" becomes "Pulsar Mu.vst". Normally this should not be a problem, and we have tested this in all major DAWs; but it is possible that in some DAWs you have problems reloading old sessions. In this case, please contact us and we will help you put everything back in order.

Jacques Boileau Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 The new version does no show any UI under Cakewalk for me. The VST window for the plugin is blank, no UI. Does it work for anybody else under Cakewalk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copiague Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Same here. No UI and a few seconds later it kills Cakewalk. Tried an uninstall & install with the same result. I uninstalled and installed my old version (1.2.4) and it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bapu Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 VST and VST3 updates work as expected in CbB. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackson white Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 got a blue screen on opening a CW project to check a Pulsar plugin, but all good and working as expected after a reboot. (was going to blame it on the IK product manager as the only other action on a rock solid system but had already deleted that.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
