When I export VST's SM very often hang for a while just after confirmation on the options dialogue. And most of the time it hangs I have to click around on SM to get the VST overwriting dialogue appear. I find this quite annoying. Some times the whole program crashes but I reckon other people experience that too.

I'm assuming for version 1.1.7?

Yes sir 🙂

Usually a good idea to mention that, even better in the title 😉 Might want to list your system specs; could be low on memory, issues with ASIO, etc.

Widows XP sp3, Intel Core 2 @ 2.4GHz, 3GB RAM, Asio driver/interface: Saffire Pro 26 IO

I usually don't have other apps open but Wavosaur witch I use to test the plugs. So I guess I have plenty resources 🙂

Maybe it is your VST? See any difference in a smaller OSM, like the example.OSM that is included in the SM folder? How many primitives & links do you have?

1. Be shure ur VST isn't active in Wavosaur! 2. Don't let SM Window lost focus while compiling! I use X-Mouse = Autofocus window with mouse over so i registered strange results if SM-Window lost focus... 3. mark 'always overwrite plugins w/o asking' under Options>Plugins...

1. That one I know. SM tells me if I forgot.

2. I usually don't change focus from SM before SM is finished compiling the VST.

3. I cant remember that I did check the always overwrite plug-ins with out asking under option. But now it does. And the response is like it should. I really must stop working when I'm tired 🙁 Strange things seems to happen when I do.

The behaviour is not like this always. And it varies with the same project. But it seem like one day it is fine. Another I get the hang. To day it is fine but I don't get the overwrite dialogue any more as mentioned above.

Thank you both for the response. I'll let you know if I have more trouble with this.

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
