Regarding the system writing the state back to the vl document - there has been an incompatibility between recent previews of vvvv (since end of January) and the VST package. Just released a new version of the VST package which should work correctly again - can you give that one (0.1.3-alpha) a spin a report back if the issue still persists?

Thanks for your reply. I installed the new version, but still the same. The plugin doesnt remember the settings of kontakt player.

Hey there. Maybe you could write in more detail what you’re doing in the plugin. The thing is that some plugins (like Kontakt player) don’t seem to report their dirty state correctly to the host. I just did a quick check with Kontakt 8 and Ableton Live - I created a new project, added Kontakt 8, opened its UI and loaded Tools/Arp Down, saved that project and after that added some patterns - you can now notice that the dirty state of the Ableton project doesn’t change (same as in vvvv) and also saving the project doesn’t save the state of the plugin (since it didn’t report that it changed, again, same as in vvvv). What will trigger the dirty state is to move the window or moving some of the knobs.
We could however do one slight adjustment, so that at least when selecting a new preset in Kontakt 8, we do recgonize the state change. You find that in the latest version (0.1.4-alpha).

In summary the issue is basically the same as was reported for plugdata here in the forum: Implement VST 3.1.0 Dirty State Support in PlugData · Issue #2025 · plugdata-team/plugdata · GitHub

Hi, I use kontakt player 7 and by default it shows the library of an instrument called accordions 2 library. I now found out (like you said) when I learn a midi controller and connect it to a value and /or (not shure yet) move the window of the instrument vvvv will remember the instrument. Otherwise ist shows the Library when reloading vvvv and doesnt load the instrument. I still use version 0.1.3-alpha because i could not find a version 0.1.4. So at least I can now load my correct instrument, but still doesnt take the saved values of the controller(s). But, better now than before! thanks a lot!
