Solved Massive X, where did the knobs go?

After two days of puzzling and trying out, the music computer is running again including Massive X.
I just wonder where the knobs are.
I get to see this with an intel HD 3000.

MX needs OpenGL 2.1. Is it installed ? Or might be cured by an OpenGL update ?

 

Less is more Luke .... less is more

sorry ..couldn't resist

 

Got my hands on this at thursday. What a BEAST! I was waiting for this synth. What a joy! Now i think i got new soft synth for years to go.

Did you solved your problem with those missing knobs??

 

Thank you p1afff, my system has OpenGL 3.1


René

 

it looks moren´n´more that your system has a really problem beside just MassiveX...
here win7 i7-3770K 16GB and since release of MassiveX noporblems, just having fun discovering this new synth

 

Or better yet.
"Look inside yourself for the knobs. You are the knob!"

 

maybe your computer just wants to go for the sleek flat look like the new apple softwares.

 

Did you try open mx in a daw? Does it look the same?

 

I also get to see the same in a DAW.


Thank you for thinking along.

René

 

You can be right about that.
My system was built in 2011/2012.
The possessor is generation 2, but does support AVX.
It works well with you, but you have a third generation CPU, with Intel HD 4000.
It could therefore be the generation CPU.
But only someone from NI can answer this.
Here you can read that the processor must support AVX.

My system complies with this. So why don't I have knobs?

René

 

I could be wrong, but I don’t see this as an AVX problem. AVX is required for the audio engine, not the display AFAIK. May be you can search for a GPU software update somewhere ?

 

You can always buy a cheap nVidia card, like a Geforce GT710. I did that with my old PC which also had Intel 2500 on board and it made a huge difference, especially with plugins like FabFilter, where I had to set the window size to minimum because otherwise the audio would start to stutter.

You can find a GT710 for less than 50 Euro these days.

 

Then we are on the same wavelength.
The Fab filters work fine on Intel HD 3000.
I will get one tomorrow.
Then I can continue testing.
If it does work, the information provided by NI is not complete.
Or the programmer has forgotten something.
Maybe KAI @ NI can tell something more about this.

No AVX has nothing to do with audio, they are Vector instructions and only have to do with graphics.
But thanks for thinking along.

René

 

My computer has nothing to want.
Although I would be happy with a NIaudioLinux OS.
Where all NI software while works well.
The established OS's change too much and too often, causing problems for users and suppliers.

René

 

Sure.

 

Do you also suffer from it then?

René

 

Diva also uses avx for sound (and as an other example there is an reverb only running on a graphics card so there seem to be some similarity in the math of both!?

Urs himself wrote

"We figured that the very best chance to accelerate Diva is to support that AVX instruction set which does 8 calculations in parallel. I'd guess that we can probably see a 30% speed bump or more, much better than multicore... (that wasn't supposed to rhyme though)

We'll see..."

Sorry for the (Klugscheißerei) being a smart arse

i would try to re-install but in between wipe all stuff\folders manually

 

Adding a small GPU might work, but it really sounds like it's time for a system upgrade though. Do you have any other openGL based plug-ins you can test with? Softube or UA come to mind.
