#78 32-bit VSTs do not work in 64-bit Psycle

[DaAwesomeP]

I think that JBridge might not be working correctly. I have the 64-bit version of Psycle 1.12.0 on Windows 8.1 64-bit. I can successfully select the path and load 64-bit plugins, but when I check off the "32<->64 bit bridge support" and "JBride" options, the 32-bit VSTs are listed under "Non-working or not a machine." When I go back to settings, the 32-bit path and bride options are greyed out (disabled). I used to have a 32-bit machine, so I didn't have to worry about this. My new 64-bit machine doesn't seem to work with the plugins correctly.

Trying to load only 32-bit VSTs only (64-bit path blank) does not work.

Regenerating the plugin cache before or after any of the steps above did not help. The plugins in the 32-bit folder were always non-working. Try to load one from that list also fails.

Here is an entry from the scan log:

code:E:\DAW\VstPlugins\AkoustikPianoVST.dll ... new plugin added to cache ; ### ERRONEOUS ###

class psycle::host::exceptions::library_errors::loading_error

Couldn't open the library: E:\DAWVstPlugins\AkoustikPianoVST.dll

I really want to use both my 64-bit and 32-bit plugins. My old computer was 32-bit only and I had no problems. Part of the reason of getting the new computer is that it is 64-bit, so I would really prefer to use the 64-bit version of Psycle.

Thanks,

Sorry, I didn't see the post in Psycledelics (I'm on holidays and I don't
check it as often).

I will quote the reply i've posted there:

There might be several problems on your side:

First, I will quote the FAQ.txt:

Q) What is the difference between the 32bits and 64bits builds, and what
implications
does it have when using VST plugins?

A) The 64bits version of Psycle is made for users of the 64bits of
Windows. Both the 32 and 64bits
can be used in these OSs, but there is a restriction: The 64bits
version can only load 64bit
versions of VST plugins and the 32bits can only load 32bit versions
of them.
If you use a VST bit bridging, [b]like jBridge (
http://jstuff.wordpress.com/jbridge/ )[/b],
then that software can allow to use 32bits on 64bit version and 64bit
on 32bit version.
Remember to activate the support in Psycle Directories settings.

So, by default, Psycle can only load the plugins of its same bit size. It
requires a third party software to "bridge" the bits. That software is not
free and is currently the only way for Psycle to support bridging.
I've seen recently that ModPlug Tracker does have native bit bridging, and
I might ask if I can port that to Psycle.

If you have jBridge, then, If the setting is enabled (as you suggest you
did), when it detects a problem loading the plugin, Psycle asks to jbridge
to load it.

In the build I have it seems to work.
Right now i have some 32bit plugins that crash my version of jBridge, which
is old so i cannot regenerate the cache. But other than that, it is
scanning the vsts correctly.

Oh. I thought that the jBridge software was included or integrated into Psycle. In the next version of Psycle there should probably be notice when the 32-bit options are disabled. I thought it was a bug because the options greyed out and nondescript errors were give in the VST log. Or the option could say "jBride {must be bought separately)" in the settings instead of just "jBridge"

I do have 32-bit version of all of the plugins, so I can just install the 32-bit Psycle I guess.

Thank you for explaining that to me. I guess this really isn't a bug then.

Also, my password manager glitched on Psycledelics and when I click reset password it gives a PHP error, so if we could continue the discussion here that would be good.
