Sumu 1.00 sound is cutting out after the default patch in several hosts including
Komplete Kontrol
Maschine
Newsonicarts Freestyle
can't play anything after the first drone - sometimes if I skip the drones and load something like a key it plays but I think there is some sort of automatic setting cutting off the sound if it spikes?
Hmm, this is new to me. However, I've never tried any of these hosts.
One way to test your hypothesis would be to turn down Sumu to 1 voice (save that setup if needed so it will come up with 1 voice immediately) - then CPU use will be low. You can find out if it still gets cut off by your DAWs after that change.
After a brief break here I'll be working to fix any compatibility issues. In particular the whole NI ecosystem is kind of a separate thing I have not had time to approach yet. Thanks for your patience and please keep us posted if you find more info.
Hi Randy
if you recall it had the same problem with an early beta and you fixed that

Even one voice it is cutting out but the default init patch plays ok
This is odd but I have found if I resave the patches in Komplete Kontrol's own format (.nksf) they work fine, but just not when switching them in Sumo's own browser
Please tell me this is going to be fixed in the next release
I'd love to tell you that, but I don't know.
The good news is, I downloaded Freestyle and I'm seeing some weird issues with the parameters, so hopefully I am finally reproducing a problem you're having and can fix it.
The bad news is, I can't figure out how to set up a MIDI keyboard to test my plugin in Freestyle. I found the MIDI Setup but I'm not seeing any indication of MIDI when I'm playing my keyboard.
Do you have any other DAWs you can try on your system so we can find out if Sumu is working on your computer at least somewhere?
Yes it works fine in Logic and Bitwig and fine in Maschine as an AU but not in Maschine, Komplete Kontrol or Freestyle as a VST3
Here's a video of what's happening in Freestyle - maybe you can see something that might be affecting the sound? As you can see from the output meter, the default patch is working on first load, but as soon as I change patch the sound cuts out (even if I go back to the default patch) - however you can see it is receiving MIDI still so it is not that.

Komplete Kontrol is free I think so you could try that too
The MIDI inputs need to be selected (blue) to work like so

Thanks for the additional info. I've made a Github issue for this and I'll keep working on it.
