BUG on stereo Mixer+gain module

mrvomit · Jun 12, 2006, 01:07 AM

the annoyng ibug ii found (on my sb060) is that one :

When i touch the slider " L2/r2" down a bit
(connected after "phat eq" module ) , Volume get crazy at MAXIMUM Range ,

and i have then to erase the mixer+gain module , and to reload it.
Very strange.
is it a known problem ,or is just me?

I think he means the "Stereo Mix + Gain" plugin, which does have a bug with the "In2 Level". This was mentioned previously in the Bug Reports forum, and I did send eYagos a message about it, but I did not hear back from him, so I am not sure that he got the message. From what I could tell, the following 2 instructions (in blue) should use MACS instead of MACINTS (both the X and Y parameters are fractional values):

macints tmp, 0x0, in1L, gain1_I;
macs tmp, tmp, in1L, gain1_F;
macints tmp, tmp, in2L, gain2_I;
[color=RoyalBlue]macints outL, tmp, in2L, gain2_F;[/color]
macints tmp, 0x0, in1R, gain1_I;
macs tmp, tmp, in1R, gain1_F;
macints tmp, tmp, in2R, gain2_I;
[color=RoyalBlue]macints outR, tmp, in2R, gain2_F;[/color]

YEAH i meant "Stereo Mix + Gain" plugin .
Sorry it was late night when i wrote.
Is it possible to correct the problem by Myself?(if not complicate,or a "patch/batch file"somewhere?)
You can still use just stereo Mix +external gain i think ,but it uses resources.

__How i discovered_______
I'm tryng to chain some phat eq's to process guitar and obtain a Nu-metal sound.
So i cut signal in 2 frequencies (highs and extralows) and then i mix them again adding gain on the lowest one (which has lower volume).

SO far no big results (i'm processing after distortion ,but i go from amp to Kx).

Well you can edit the code and make the changes I mentioned above (change the word MACINTS to MACS in the lines that are colored blue (above)), but the changes will only last for that session (i.e. you will lose the changes when you unload/reload the plugin, or reboot, etc). For permanant changes it would need to be recompiled.

i.e.
Load the plugin.
Choose edit from the menu.
Make the changes to the code.
Click on the "Update DSP Microcode" button (the green check mark).
Close the kX editor.
Connect the plugin in the DSP where you want.

it did'nt work.
strangely i've messed up the plugin.
it looks different with 4 faders instead of 2
(Gain_i1 Gain_I2,gain_f1, gainf2) , and the first one is causing the same bug also.

Well Now i have to unregister it somehow ,
But i don remeber how,i ll' have to figure out again,

or to wait for a new release.

Sorry, you were not supposed to save the changes, only click on the update microcode button.
To fix it , create a text file called, SMG.reg (or whatever) and paste the following into it:

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\kX\Plugins]
"34131ae6-3e2d-416f-acd9-7d1bf4e77860"="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\kxfxpack.kxl"
"34131ae6-3e2d-416f-acd9-7d1bf4e77860.name"="Stereo Mix + Gain"

Unload the plugin, and then double click on the file to add the info to the registry.

As for the changes, the code should look like this:

Code:

	 macints 	 tmp,  tmp,  in2R,  gain2_I;
	 macs 	 outR,  tmp,  in2R,  gain2_F;

end
