AAX and Chunks

[random_id]

I am having some difficulty with AAX and chunks. The plugin saves and loads presets correctly, but there is a problem when a new instance is added to Pro Tools. All of the default settings are incorrect. All other formats, including RTAS, appear to be OK.

Anyone have a similar problem, or a solution?

I am stepping through my code, and it looks like UnserializeState() is being called to load a default setting with AAX. This happens when the plugin is loading, and after the code within the plugin constructor is finished. The problem appears to be that whatever chunk AAX is using as the default value is never initialized properly. All of the parameter values appear to be wrong. Incidentally, when I debug in VST2, the UnserializeState() is not called when the plugin is loaded.

I haven't had a problem with previous plugin versions. I think the issue is that I am starting to save more information within the chunk prior to the parameters. In the past, I was just saving a double and a bool. Now, I am saving some more int data as well.

I just fixed this and it had nothing to do with chunks.
I have been creating new knob controls that have different settings (e.g., min, max, default, scale, etc.). For some reason, the knobs were resetting the default values of the IParam with the incorrect settings. Like most problems, the fix took one line of code.

The weird thing is that it only impacted AAX. I guess that it depended on the order of instantiation.

At my end that method uses almost 100% CPU all of the time...
