Bug: On VM 1.2.3 OSX some VSTs crash the host system

[akeia]

I hope this is the correct place for bug reports. Is there a bug/issue tracking system for VM?

On VM 1.2.3 on OSX some VSTs (VST 2 and 3) loaded into VM module "Plug-In Host" crash the whole host system (Reaper or VM App) when the plugin GUI is opened. This is a repeatable issue with for example the Softube Modular VST plugin.

I checked the same issue on Windows 10. It works. Seems to be an issue only on OSX.

Akei,

We are aware of some VST3 crashes on Windows. I had not heard of VST 2 and VST 3 crashes on OSX, though.

Can you list the ones that crash for you so we can do some testing here?

If you can get them to crash in the standalone, that would be the best, as it eliminates the main host.

We don't have a public bug tracking system right now...so this forum will be fine.

OK. A list of the plugins that you have available would be useful. I could then focus on these during my testing.

I did some tests and found a few more issues besides Modular. OSX crash logs are attached. Most of my plugins work fine

crashes:
- AIR Music Transfuser VST2 (AU works)
- Carbon Electra VST2 (AU works)
- Izotope Iris 2 VST3 (AU works)
- Softube Modular VST3 (AU works)
- Softube Heartbeat VST3 (AU also crashes)
- Softube Drawmer S73 VST2
- Softube Summit Audio Grand Channel VST3

good:
- Reaktor 6, Audulus, Xils Lab XILS 4 and AAS Tassman work fine ... modular heaven yeah
- Softube Heartbeat and Modular VSTs work embedded within Akai VIP (which is in the VMplugin host)
- NI Maschine 2 works
- NI Komplete Kontrol works

bad:
- U-he Ace and Bazille audio only in left channel in vst2 (ok both in AU format)
- Carbon Electra crashes also within Akaip VIP within VM

Thank you for this information. We will be looking into these issues. (=
