Having trouble getting HOST BPM

#1

kbpm chnget "HOST_BPM"

What does this return? I’m having trouble getting it to perform as expected in Logic.

And is there a way to simulate a host bpm within Cabbage? Right now I just have it set hard to kbpm = 120 for testing

#2

This should return the host BPM value. Check out the HostInfo.csd example. To be honest, I’ve never checked this in an AU, but I always thought it would work the exact same way?

#3

I got the hostinfo VST to work but the AU returns nothing in any of the fields.

#4

Good to know. I’ll take a look at this tomorrow and see if I can get to the bottom of it.

#5

I can confirm the same thing here. It seems that timing info is picked up, but BPM and other things are not. I will take a look. Btw, it’s working fine when I load the plugin into Reaper, but that’s the only host it seems to work on with regards to AU.

#6

Think I have this working now. Just building a new beta for you guys to test. Note that most hosts won’t send any transport info to any plugins unless there is a clip or region defined. I’ll let you know when I have a beta ready.

#7

Sorry, I’ve been on vacation and am getting caught up. Is this the thread that spawned the 3/5 build?

Just so you know, there’s no CabbageLite in the OSX build. I don’t really need one yet, so no worries… but letting you know in case the automatic build process needs to be tweaked a little.

#8

Thanks @t_grey, that beta was just a minimal test. I’ll upload newer ones today, along with an updated CabbageLite.

#9

Sweet, thanks Rory!

#10

It appears to work with an AU effect in logic but the AU instrument does not. Cabbage(64bit) v2.0.02 and up to date logic 10.4.1 and OS X 10.13.6 (17G65)

Crap. I will look into to it once I get back to my OSX machine, which won’t be until early Sept. I’m afraid…
