VST string crashes on some setups

infuzion · 18 Aug 2009

I imagine you'll have to email the OSM in for proper testing. But thanks for letting us know!

I thought this was fixed in RC1? is this not the case?

Yes, I have been corresponding with Malc about this bug, and it crashes a lot less then before, but since Malc is on Holiday, I am not going to bother him by email. Again gradually people get into trouble while switching presets, so I guess it still has to do with the memory writes.

Hmmm, I was hoping to get a bug-free SM version before the KVR Developer Challenge, but I guess not 🙁 I really think Outsim should hire someone just to bug-test & document (even 20 hours/week); Malc really has his hands too full running everything himself.

I still have some serious bugs that I have reported but Malc seemed to find no answers to.

Some of my plugs work fine in SM but when exported as VST they wont let any sound thru. Other serious ones as well so I agree. Malc needs to hire someone. When your going uphill you dont try to conserve gas by hitting the breaks. ( ok. I admit it. I dont even have a drivers license.... )

I hope there is the money avaliable to hire someone, I also feel it is needed

I have KickLab running on most systems now, I am still in trouble, you might have seen the AVI I posted with the weird internal stream behaviour. It all seem very delicate how you hook things up, just making a module out of a component can make the part after it behave different.

I can surely do some extra hours bug testing every week, I am doing that right now anyway...heheh. 🙂

To be clear, I don't want to sound mean or ungrateful, but I know first hand that around 70% of the time taken to program is actually hunting & fixing bugs, & documentation. So it is easy to understand that a lone programmer who is also in charge of running the website & operations can be easily overwhelmed.

yes, but it doesn't look like he wants help. I would like to help like many others... dsp is my hobby, so for me it doesn't matter if I work with synthmaker or for synthmaker itself 😈

Disco_Steve · 21 Aug 2009

but that could only happen if SM was made open source? or you are paid to bug fix? or am I wrong?

I had this problem a time ago when I stored a path in the VST string. Strangely the first store was ok but overwriting this or loading the VST in a song with an old version made it crash on load. After only storing the name in the VST string everything was fine. I

VST string also crashes Presonus Studio one...had a couple of reportsthat the demo crashes and after downloading the demo, it crashes here too.

Hi,

im using cubase 3.1.1 build 944 vst, and the very first vst I downloaded was the stelsi synth. and it worked fine thats how I come to be here. I love this program have maid one or to synth vst dll.s in my time also having worked on the reactable project using Pure Data, but for the last to days when I click on VST instrument in cubase none of the downloaded synth or those ive built myself are working. The windows applet opens and when I move it around it seems to keep the last background image, 😠 untill moved off screen and on again then the image of the synth is there however this image "gui" is frozen thus not responding to input. But calling up the last song it was used in shows its still kicking out sound. This goes for all the synths maid with synthmaker all other vst,s seem to function with no problems can anyone help 😕

p.s. Im hoping to add this to my vertion of the ReacTable. 😉

Hi, & welcome to SM. Your request is likely not related to this thread; please post your OSM with cropped screenshots & describe all your testing in the Help forum. It will also help if you test in other hosts; it may be host related, or a programming error on your part.
