Summary0007643: Faust generated LV2 & VST exhibit strange slider behaviour with AutoGenerated GUI
DescriptionWhen changing the values of Faust plugins with the built-in Ardour plugin GUI, it is hard to change the value with the mouse.

I have made a video of what it looks like:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b21wixZn4sM&t=25s

The video was made with the LV2 version of the plugin, however the same issue is present on the VST version of the same .dsp code.
Steps To ReproduceI tested one of the tutorial Faust FM synth patches:
-----------------------
import("stdfaust.lib");

carFreq = 500;
modFreq = 30;
index = 100;

process =
  os.osc(carFreq + os.osc(modFreq) * index) <: dm.zita_rev1;
-----------------------

I used the command line to build the above faust code:
$faust2lv2 myplugin.dsp
also:
$faust2faustvst myplugin.dsp

I then placed the lv2 into: /usr/lib/lv2/ & the VST into: /usr/lib/vst/
Additional InformationI tested the same plugin (the LV2) with Qtractor, and this issues was not present in that software, I could easily change the values with the GUI.
TagsNo tags attached.

 NOTE: I used the git version of Ardour (as I was working on some MIDI note code ideas at the time) for the video. (an astute viewer would probably be able to tell the strange MIDI note colors).

However I also tested Ardour 5.12 (which had the same issue).

There is no issue with automating the parameters, they change correctly, this issue is only about mouse control.

Also after a bit more research, there is apparently no issue with manually created sliders (if I were to put sliders into the Faust code myself), the sliders that are in the video are all from dm.zita_rev1. So I am not sure if this is a problem with 'zita' or Ardour, or Ardour's ability to control sub-module GUI's of Faust .dsp code.

I cannot reproduce this (also git,6.0-pre0-781-g870fe055c). What version of FAUST and its stdlib are you using?

Ardour is one of the few LV2 hosts that honors "rangeSteps" and enforces the min/max parameter range.

Can you check the generated .ttl file if it matches:
    ] , [
        a lv2:InputPort ;
        a lv2:ControlPort ;
        lv2:index 2 ;
        lv2:symbol "Low_RT60_2" ;
        lv2:name "Low RT60" ;
        lv2:portProperty epp:hasStrictBounds ;
        epp:rangeSteps 70 ;
        lv2:default 3 ;
        lv2:minimum 1 ;
        lv2:maximum 8 ;
        units:unit [
            a            units:Unit ;
            units:name   "s" ;
            units:symbol "s" ;
            units:render "%f s"
        ] ;
    ] , [

I am using Faust: Version 2.5.23. My .ttl (in that part) is exactly the same.

Possibly this could have something to do with my OS? (Using Arch Linux?)

x42 was able to look into this issue, and it looks like its resolved! Yay! (other than a few fixes that have to happen on the Faust side of the fence)
