I can't find any info by search, but have heard this discussed at KVR before. Any of my plugs, load once in Reaper, fine, but unload and load again(whether loading again in same track or another)causes a crash. The only way to unload is just bypass and leave it there.
Is there any way around it? I can post an osm if necessary, this is not the case in Energy xt though. That's the only 2 hosts I have. Thanks!
Edit:In Reaper, go prefs/vst/check the unload completely box

Not been on KVR for ages - is this specific to SM created plugins, or just plugins in general? Just wondering because I know a lot of people have hassle with Cubase because of SM using an outdated version of the VST spec' (something to do with the Preset Manager)

This is specific to my Synthmaker-exported plugins, any other runs normally. Also, this doesn't happen with Synthmaker plugins in Energy xt.
Generally, in Reaper, they run fine, but if you load, unload, don't dare load the same plugin again without 1st closing and restarting Reaper entirely.

Yes, does sound like it could be a particular VST standard problem like Cubase. The VST standard is now up to v3, but SM is still only v2.3 - may be worth asking the Reaper tech people exactly what standards they support, it only says VST on their website, but not how far back in the versions. Might be worth posting an example plugin for other Reaper users to try just in case it is particular to your setup.

Yeah, I wrote a bug report in the Reaper forum too- http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=66345
I linked to one of my SM synths there. They did put a fix in for me regarding Synthedit MIDI effects, so I'll see what they think on this one.

I think it's linked to the vsti ID... Same thing happens when you open a SM vsti in a host, save the project, open the osm in SM; do a change in the schematic, render again to vsti, re-open the project...crash... go back to SM, change vst ID, rexport to vsti, reopen project, NO crash... I think it's linked to a bad refresh...

at the preferences / vst / vst compatibility setting try checking "allow complete unload" and test if it works then.

Thanks! That works great, I can load and unload 10 times in a row, and it works.
I didn't even go into Reaper's preferences this time, I should have, I would have realized that checkbox.
