Latest restricted WACUP beta release is build #20202 (September 28th 2024) (x86 & x64 changelogs)


NOTE: Beta testers are added in a limited & subjective manner as I can only support so many people as part of the beta test program to keep it useful for my needs.

Unless I think you're going to be helpful, not all requests will be accepted but might still be later on. Remember that beta testing is to help me & the limitations currently works for my needs for this project.

Lock process volume level changing at 100%
« on: October 27, 2023, 05:19:01 PM »
Sometimes when I start playing a MID file after playing some other format the process volume level is set to 14% (and it's always set to 14% specifically btw). Which enrages me as I have to open up the Windows' Volume Mixer and play with levels, which gets very messy.

It is set back to 14% after next MID file starts, so I have to close WACUP after I've set to 100% before playing the next MID file to make 'that something' remember the new level...

So thank you a lot for implementing that feature separately into WACUP so now I can simply open the Volume tab and drag the slider back into its place. :)

But I am wondering, if you could implement some sort of option that prohibits plugins from setting WACUP's volume level, or something general that keep it at 100% at all times?

The re-used in_midi plug-in from the 5.666 install has a preference option that is meant to allow for disabling volume control which might do what you're wanting assuming the volume resetting issue isn't down to the midi device being used.

Hmm, so I should try setting plug-in's Device Volume Control to None?
Alright thanks, will try and observe behavior.

That's the only option I can really suggest unless someone else knows of a different midi plug-in that can be used.
