Several months ago I bought some of the Vengeance plug-ins. When inserting more than seven instances a strange issue appeared: Orion's internal popup dialogues didn't open. For example: I clicked on File -> Preferences and nothing happened, no window appeared (and Orion wasn't usable anymore). The only way to get out of this situation was pressing ALT afterwards. The desired window appeared and everything was fine. I wrote to the Vengeance developer Rene Keilwerth and he answered me, that this has something to do with the way Orion draws the GUI. The next update of the Vengeance plug-ins will include a workaround for this problem. So far so good.
Last weekend I started creating an orchestral template for Orion using a bunch of VSL (Vienna Symphonic Library) instruments and effect plugins. The same issue as described above appeared. Is this a known problem? Any chances that this will be corrected in future?

Re: GUI redrawing issueConfirmed, but with a different FX plug in.
Re: GUI redrawing issue
Can you post the steps you took to confirm this issue please? I'll give it a go and see if I can confirm here as well....
Re: GUI redrawing issueInsert FX (doesn't happen with instruments AFAICS so far). I've found that two instances are enough sometimes (and not all FX do this). Then select File>Preferences and wait for the window to appear. It doesn't! You can't close Orion except from the task manager window. When you do close Orion from there Orion comes up with the save as dialogue suggesting that it was stuck and not crashed per se.
Re: GUI redrawing issue
Yes, it heavily depends on the VST.
As described above, pressing ALT opens the desired window and everything is fine again.
Re: GUI redrawing issueOk I'm off to give it a try now............odd no one noticed this before.........
Re: GUI redrawing issueOk confirmed here. All it took was 2 CSR Hall Reverbs.......Odd one this. I guess you rarely have the need to open Preferences at least I don't often open it.....once set you pretty much don't go back......
EDIT: Hmmm now I can't reproduce it again.......... Last edited by Teksonik on Mon Mar 12, 2012 12:11 pm, edited 1 time in total.
Re: GUI redrawing issueThis is a loose translation of what the Vengeance developer said about this issue:
"The cause for your problem is the GUI [of the plugin]. The used code draws the picture 25 times a second. If using multiple instances of the plugin the drawing can take the processing time from the keyboard. As Orion is only fading out the GUI and does not close it, all editors are redrawn all the time."
It also happens with other dialogues (e.g. Generator Settings, cfg dialogue in piano roll etc.).
Re: GUI redrawing issue
Not here. See my edit above. I have not been able to reproduce the issue again, Perhaps it was my error the first time. Are you guys all on Win7 or 64 bit? I'll keep working to see if I can reproduce it here...........
Re: GUI redrawing issueYes, I am using Win 7 64 Bit.
Re: GUI redrawing issueWell I'm up to 6 CSR Reverbs, 2 FabFilter Timeless and an Orion Simple Delay and I can not reproduce the issue again. All dialogs open as expected. I think maybe my first test was user error.......I'll keep at it.........
Re: GUI redrawing issue
That might be a clue. I'm still on Win XP 32 bit. Mark I seem to remember you are on Win 7 64 bit as well? EDIT: 7 CSR, 2 FF Timeless, 2 CamelSpace and a couple of odd ones and still can't reproduce. Mark what effects did you use?
Re: GUI redrawing issueWin7 64 bit using 32 bit Orion here. I'll test on Vista later.
Re: GUI redrawing issueAlso confirmed that pressing Alt will restore the requested window.
