Hi, I recently picked up the Stratus reverb from Exponential Audio. Beautiful plugin.
Unfortunately, Fairlight isn't playing well with it. The plugin doesn't have different versions for mono, stereo, 5.1, etc. Instead it appears to configure itself based on data provided by the application. Using Nuendo or Pro Tools, the plugin properly registers the track format and routes everything correctly. In Fairlight, it doesn't.
Here's what the configuration shows when I try to add the plugin to a 5.1 track:
As you can see it registers 6 channels in the track but configures itself in 5.0 mode for some reason. On top of that, channel routing is incorrect, as the LFE send comes in over the left surround after going through the reverb. 7.1 tracks are even worse. There I can't get the center channel to properly send through the reverb at all (and there too it loads incorrectly as 7.0).
This issue happens in both VST3 and VST2 versions of Stratus.
It would be nice if Blackmagic could take a good look at this issue as it's one of the main reasons I decided at this point not to invest further in Fairlight. Like I said it loads and performs flawlessly in Nuendo, so it's unlikely that the issue is with the VST plugin itself.
