rkr Harmonizer broken if opened in Ardour in bypassed state

[cyrusadkisson]

If you have rkr Harmonizer loaded into a session with the "bypass" automation on, then later when the bypass turns off (i.e. non-bypassed), the harmonizer won't work properly. It makes a noise, but it's low and weird and obviously broken.

If you, instead, have rkr Harmonizer non-bypassed when the session loads, everything seems to work correctly.

Since this probably doesn't make much sense, I made a video. Success first. Fail second. 1:16

Thoughts?

Just ran into this issue again. I can work around it by making sure the plugin is non-bypassed and set to 0 semis interval at launch, but that's not great.

To reiterate or restate, if you have a session with automation points causing the plugin to be bypassed at launch, it'll break into weird gurgly noise when you try to unbypass it later.
