Describe the bug It appears that when loading a file on iOS, the file appears empty. This currently affects loading user presets, and will affect custom tunings as well.

Additional context This may be related to missing permissions of some sort on iOS.

Describe the bug If you load a factory preset or create a new one, then Save it to the User directory...

Rather than the preset just saved appearing in the preset-management drop-down, the last preset name in the User directory is the one selected...

As well, if you start with a previously saved user preset, give it a new name, rather than the new name appearing in the drop-down, 'Save' is displayed.

Expected behavior Obvious suggested behavior is that upon saving a new preset, it becomes the currently loaded preset and its name is displayed in the preset field.

Describe the bug The plugin doesn't produce reliable volume levels (sending the exact same sequence of MIDI notes+velocities multiple times gives different results on the volume of each kick)

• Get a massive volume boost when following a very high pitched note with a very low pitched one, (and vice versa).

• Playing multiple notes in a similar pitch (same octave perhaps?) gradually makes them a lower volume

Alternating 2 notes that are +-5 octaves apart gives me an output of up to +20dB after +-50 notes sent. Repeating the same note over and over gives me an output of down to -20dB after +-50 notes sent.

This seems to depend a bit on the RES. MODE param, I get more drastic volume differences with it set to the minimum value, and more consistent when I go to values >0.25.

Describe the solution you'd like There should be an option on the drop-down menu to "Select user tuning library path". After the user selects that path, the options to load a tuning file should default to that path. There should also be a new option on the menu to open the user tuning library directory.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. For folks unfamiliar with custom tunings, it may not be immediately obvious how to load your own SCL/KBM custom tunings.

Describe the solution you'd like We should have a set of "built-in" options as part of the tuning menu.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It would be cool to have the option to blend in some noise into the kick sound.

Describe the solution you'd like Probably there should be controls for the noise level and the noise cutoff frequency. Maybe also a control for the noise shape?

Describe the bug When having the LINK param enabled, the pitch that you hear is that of the previous MIDI note that you played. I play: C3, followed by a C4, followed by a C4 and repeat this pattern I hear: C4, followed by C3, followed by C4

Update: this only happens with the VOICES param set to max

Hmm, now I'm doubting if I just heard overlapping notes, hard to tell because the voices param just has a range from 0 to 1, perhaps playing the new note twice just makes enough voices play that pitch so that you can hear it way better

Something funky going on anyway with regards to the voices.

Describe the bug Opening the VST3 plugin in Renoise has no GUI and returns the following log:

Renoise LOG> Vst3Plugs: Instantiating: /home/music-plugins/vst3/ChowKick.vst3...
Renoise LOG> Vst3Plugs: Failed to apply initial controller state to controller (not critical)
Renoise LOG> Vst3Plugs: Failed to suggest speaker arrangement (not critical)

Renoise LOG> Vst3Window: Plugin window attached via _XEMBED_INFO
X ERROR: Returned 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)' for operation 'Unknown'

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open Renoise
2. Open ChowKick VST3
3. See error above

Expected behavior To be able to open the plugin in Renoise and have a GUI.

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Gentoo Linux
• DAW: Renoise v3.4.2
• ChowKick Version: v1.1.1

Describe the bug GUI really slow on Manjaro Gnome as a VST3

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Load ChowKick in Carla or zrythm as VST3
2. The GUI reacts really slow

Expected behavior The GUI should be snappy and input shouldn't be long to react. Both mouse and keyboard are affected.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Manjaro Linux
• DAW zrythm, carla
• Version 1.1.1

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. As a drummer I use velocity a ton when sequencing my electronic drum tracks. I love giving accented notes to double kicks, fake echoing "ghost" notes, or making a kick drum roll into the next downbeat. It's just ways that I like to make electronic sounds have more personality. I use this all the time with my DAW's native sampler and other instrument VSTs.

The problem is that I love Chowkick's analog versatility when automated, but it doesn't seem to respond to velocity at all. I'd rather not render out a kick from Chowkick every time I want to use velocity in my sequences, especially since I like tweaking the parameters during playback, or just while producing.

Describe the solution you'd like To input midi notes with different velocities (0-255) and get an equivalent volume level (0%-100%).

Additional context Windows 10, FL Studio 20.9 64bit Chowkick 1.1.0 VST3

Love this VST and your other projects by the way. Outstanding work all around. 😊

It looks like we'll need to do the following steps:

1. Add the MTS-ESP library as a submodule

• Create a CMakeLists.txt file for the library

2. Install the MTS-ESP mini test plugin
3. Add an option to the micro-tuning menu to turn MTS-ESP on/off (should be off by default?)
4. Tweak the code where we set the kick note frequency to use the note frequency from MST-ESP where appropriate.

Hi,

Maybe this is the wrong place to ask this, but it would be great to have plugins like ChowKick for snare and hi-hats. The quality of ChowKick is exceptional. If we could have for snares and hi-hat plugins, I'll not need my samples any more :-)

Hi,

Great work on this little plugin, it sounds.. kickass, pardon the pun. I like it so much that I'd like to install it on a standalone plugin host type of machine (self-built x86 box). Upon exploring that idea though, I noticed there's no mention of midi CC or any other form of external control anywhere in the docs or source (that I can find, anyway). Is this indeed missing, and is this something that you plan to implement? Alternatively I may try to implement it myself, I have some c/c++ experience, although I am completely new to Juce and the Juce development process, so I may be biting off more than I can chew in the short term.
