UI is unmoveable and unresizable and blocks DAW

Open elvisish opened this issue 10 months ago • 6 comments

I've tried this VST on Studio One, Reaper and Cubase and the UI completely covers the screen: image I can't actually move it out of the way or close it down at all, there's no way of using it as far as I can see, is this intended?

I really appreciate your feedback. As I am a blind screen reader user, this is an issue that didn't even cross my mind. It is possible the sizing issue can be fixed by modifying the getRect function, however the ability to not move the window is something that I am not sure how to go about fixing.

No worries, I actually tried it on an older Reaper and I can move the window around and even shrink it to just parameters, so it's useable. OPL3GM_VSTi doesn't take wopl files, does it? What is the standard bank the vsti uses? I'm trying to match the sounds in LIBADL and it doesn't sound exactly the same, I think I need to pair the bank somehow.

The Apogee synth takes TMB files, and the Doom one takes OP2 files. The Windows 9x implementation only allows the use of build-in patches.

Thanks, that's very helpful! Last question, do you have a wopl of the win9x vst? I really like the soundbank of that one but I'm not sure if the banks are available?

The instrument bank that is used in the Windows 9x synth is the 2op FatMan bank. I believe it is included with the OPL3Bank editor project.
