FOMP Reverb has no signal on it’s outputs when it’s in a pedalboard that autoloads on power-up. (Duo X)
How to reproduce
make a Duo X pedalboard with FOMP Reverb in it.
save it and re-boot.
FOMP Reverb has no sound at its outputs – doesn’t matter if it’s active or not.
re-load the same pedalboard from the library, and it then works fine.
Expected/suggested solution
FOMP Reverb should just work, without having to manually re-load the pedalboard.
Additional information
…makes me nervous about using this great-sounding reverb; can i really be certain it’s going to function after a manual re-load? it ~seems~ to always come back, but it’s a bit crazy-making!
FOMP Reverb: version 0.0-10
MOD release: Duo X running 1.11.0.2497-RC2
Also provide some information about your system if possible.
We tried to replicate the issue and we were not successful in doing it.
Do you have more info about the bug? Perhaps other plugins that you have always-on those pedalboards?
Do you have all the plugins updated as well?
I think this only happens when loading the PB while the unit boots up.
Often comes from plugins not initializing memory correctly, so it will have random garbage in memory and could potentially be used as the first source of audio input. I recall some plugins having issues like this, which we promptly fixed. This one is new.
seems like that sort of issue, because a meter on the output of the offending plugin registers -inf.
i’ve removed all the extra things in the pedalboard, and narrowed it down to some kind of interaction between the FOMP Reverb and RMPro. in the pedal board linked here, i’m seeing -inf at the output of the RMPro, and also sometimes at the output of the reverb. re-loading the board doesn’t always solve the issue.
note that, when the output of the RMPro is -inf, anything downstream of it also is non-functional. i.e. even if i connect a test signal generator directly to the device output, it doesn’t work.
ok, re-testing both this minimal board and my original performance board where i first noticed the issue, re-loading the board is usually NOT fixing the issue, so i’ve got to replace RMPro with other tools for now.
what a strange “perfect storm”… RMPro really sounds very good, and the FOMP reverb is the best in the MOD “ecology” for my horns. this is the first board i’ve built since purchasing the RMPro, and i was really looking forward to taking it to the stage.
Same thing is happening to me with the FOMP Reverb on the Dwarf. Has there been any progress on this? @jon@falkTX It would be great to not have to replace the fomp reverb on my main pedal board that I use for most of my shows
From our experience, the FOMP reverb tends to block sound if it receives invalid values, like an extreme loud burst from digital artifact / bug.
What plugins do you have before the reverb? One of them might be the culprit, please tell us so we can investigate those.
