AMIGO VST: What They Aren't Telling You 

You may need to update your "Amigo v1.0" that you are using in the video, to the latest version (Amigo v1.0.2) to fix the issue. As the newer version allows users to manually point Amigo to the correct sample folder location where any "missing samples" are currently located. Amigo will then load them in correctly as normal. The problem with the early version was, since, Amigo saves links to samples as "absolute folder path locations". Meaning, if those samples are subsequently moved from their original location (when they were loaded into Amigo), the plugin cannot automatically locate them. The version you're using doesn't even give the user the user prompt option to manually override that, but the update does. You would need to set up a new user account with at "potenzadsp" which wasn't available at product launch (if you haven't already - check your emails for their link) and then add your already purchased Amigo to the account, to get the latest version. BTW, I'm also using Windows 11 with no issues (since you queried whether it was an OS issue ... it isn't) 👍

if you press the gate button the sample doesn't play on

Does pressing caps lock in edit mode to add “off” in pattern work to cut if off?

The plugin might just be storing a reference to the file system path vs loading the sample into the project, which a lot of samplers do, so when you delete or move the sample file it can’t find it.

You have to have GATE activated. Then your pattern mutes will work.

I find I can't load one of my own patches if I have one already loaded and want to swap. I have to open a new instance of amigo every time.

For cutting a chop I made a tiny dummy slice with no sound and triggered it or switched on the Vel and did a 0 velocity note at end. Yep a bit workaround-ish but worked.

Sounds like a Renoise issue. No issues like that with FL Studio.. Why not just use the OFF command.

Also just noticed with the phase, it seems to change almost round robin like. If i play through once, it acts one way, replay then produces different results from the same automation, anyone else having this trouble?

VST3 dont load in Skale so im up the river without a paddle lol... Wont the note off command work in Renoise, The Caps lock key? Big up Bizzy!

It just doesnt seem to like samples saved within the daw, maybe a file path or permission thing, if you store the samples on the desktop or documents etc it will open up back where you were including any settings.

Not had this problem in ableton or bitwig with the samples missing. One thing that has been bugging me is when you print the audio, it adds a 'groove' to it, no matter how spot on you get your slicing it has a delay. Theres no plugin latency, so no idea why its doing it! With the sample stopping, seems to happen in through mode, the mute in ableton and bitwig works ok but, that is using the channel mute not amigos, just annoying to have to keep writing the automation in.

Checkout PAULA Max for Live device it uses TAL-DAC to emulate the Amiga Paula sound chip. Part of the MANY WORLDS SAMPLE CD.

Just had this happen on a project I'd been working on for a while. Each instance of it lost the sample, and I haven't deleted or moved anything. As long as you can find the audio you were working with again, it's fine, but it's a huge pain.

No missing file error here after extensive use. As for the sample continuing, does putting it in gate mode instead of one shot fix the issue?

Weird.. amigo hasn't given me the missing file error yet.

Try using gate mode for the sample to stop.🙏

What I do to bypass the trigger through is use the Automation settings and turn the device off and on. I was having an issue too as well as Amigo not finding the file but I realized once I moved my sample folder it kind of resets the VST. But once you find a sample it works like it was never missing

I use Reason I don't have this bug, don't forget to report to dev the bug.

The plugin has a very primitive file manager, it's what it is. TAL Sampler even if you remove the drive and change the letter, if you put the drive back you just have to locate the drive then TAL will automatically search for the file(s) that is missing. Worst than all of this is that Renoise has an horrible file manager too, you can't drag and drop samples into the plugins like you can in any DAW in existence.

Not had that problem in studio one, sounds like a bug to me. I'm not using Windows 11 for my music so it possible it's that.

I gave up on saving patches in any sampler lol the only patch ive bothered saving is my own version of an init patch. MY biggest issue with amigo is that i cannot drag samples straight in from my daws sample browser (because i use reason) so I have to browse it using the normal file browser meaning I get no preview and also means I have to bounce a lot of things out (i.e. stuff from refills) just for amigo making me have doubles of things i dont need. I also find it a mad struggle to remove pops and clicks from loop points in amigo especially when working on bass samples.

I haven't come across this in Ableton...

Groove Agent loses files like this, I dropped it. I love Amigo... but I am using TAL Drum and TAL Sampler. Simple, reliable and sound great.

you can set the volume for that sample to 0 when it has to stop

Yo B, press A to trigger an OFF command on the chan!

Couldn't you just turn on gate? That seems like the appropriate mode for Renoise. I haven't had missing samples but I'm annoyed a tiny bit that the custom colors don't stick in Ableton.

I had the same exact problem with it keeping samples in ableton 11 projects.... I stopped using it, honestly I wasnt as BLOWN away as everyone has been raving about it for..... Tal sampler makes it obsolete.

I found Amigo really buggy. I’m sure they’ll fix all the bugs eventually. I’ll carry on Tal Sampler and the Simple Sampler in Logic in the meantime

Tal pisses all over it. Just a bit shit to use.

Biz brother! Don't even interact with this. Amigo is a gimmick, it's not coded in raw C++. It's made from one of those silly vsts maker packages. The creators make daft tracks mocking jungle, making it sound overly 90s of lofi, in a satire type way, it's all a joke and a mockery mate. And they are mocking you as you are the actual pioneer. You are above this Biz.

Down with Amigo and down with fake lofi and all hipster culture vultures!

Amigo is crap, it's annoying, overly lofi and used by the creators to make crappy fake lofi. It's a hipster turd. Just use an Akai people. the investment is worth it.

will send u a email 👍🏻
