Re: VST examination failed

Mike I'm pretty sure meant VST2 versions if they exist, sometimes it's the VST3 version that fails, but VST2 still works. Another thing to try is to reexamine the failed plugins, At least here on Mac OS occasionally DP plugin examination fails some VSTs the first time through, but will subsequently ...

FYI there have been updates to the MachFive content libraries and you no longer have to use Falcon in Rosetta or any other workaround to use them. grab the updates and be free! :arrrr:

Re: 14.4.1

14.4.1 solved most OS level issues, but Kontakt 7 is still being a PITA on many systems, (mostly with dual monitors), as well as Guitar Rig and Komplete Kontrol.

iLok and USB hub issues with peripherals is solved for the most part.

Re: DP11 on M1 — only utilizing using 4 cores?

I'm aware that in Mac OS, one VI will use a single-core. So, to use more cores, load more VIs. I get it. I still think I ought to be able to put 4 or so parts into a VI and it not kill my Studio Ultra M1. My issue with my Mac Studio Ultra M1--is exactly that--hardly any of the performance cores are...

Re: Things Missing in DP for a Long Time

Definitely agree that the Drum editor needs some love. I'm going to say it. Track selection needs some work, if there's any area of DP that can throw you if you start messing with it while learning DP it would be this. It is pretty fast to fix errant selections between edit windows, but it's a prett...

Re: Sonoma 14.4 crash/kernel panic/reboot with Kontakt 7

Like I mentioned, I'm not laying blame on Apple for this one, this is all NI. There's absolutely no good reason that a bug should appear only with Kontakt, only with more than one monitor attached, only with DP and Reaper, only in M2 and 3, and only in Sonoma. More than likely they tied into somethi...

Re: Sonoma 14.4 crash/kernel panic/reboot with Kontakt 7

Just for documenting sake, I have two monitors hooked up here, a Slate RavenMTi2 27", and a 4k Samsung 32". Kontakt 7.90 crashes every time with two monitors attached in 14.4.1. This is in both DP11 and Reaper 7. Live, Logic, and Bitwig are doing fine. If I disconnect the 4k Samsung I do n...

Re: Sonoma 14.4 crash/kernel panic/reboot with Kontakt 7

One thing that changed is M2, M3 are probably using software protection for that security vulnerability that the M1's literally have a hardware protection against, if you recall that article posted here a few days ago. I need to read it again, because I remember the vulnerability as for as apps tha...

Re: Sonoma 14.4 crash/kernel panic/reboot with Kontakt 7

Hey James, It is a Mac Studio M2 Ultra... Maybe that's the problem? Just curious. I know that one of the issues Sonoma 14.4.1 was supposed to address was a problem with certain iLok protected plug-ins, that oddly enough only happened on M1/M2 Macs. For reasons I sure don’t understand, M1 Macs weren...

Re: Sonoma 14.4 crash/kernel panic/reboot with Kontakt 7

I guess for now I'm lucky to be on the "older" M1 processor. This stuff seems to be M2/M3 specific still? That said, I'm still up the creek without a paddle with Console 1, DP11 and Sonoma. :( So do you have more than one monitor? Even previous to this latest update I would get a kernel p...

Re: Sonoma 14.4 crash/kernel panic/reboot with Kontakt 7

So the update is worse for me in DP, crashes DP every time now. So to be fair to MOTU, this also happening in Reaper 7, it's not happening in Logic or Live. So it's not a specific to DP bug anyway. NI need to step up their game, this is pretty silly, they have no excuses here, this is not a hard bug...

Re: Sonoma 14.4 crash/kernel panic/reboot with Kontakt 7

In an NI technical debt thing, Kontakt 7 is not Sonoma compatible. They admit it, and they say a fix is soon. I'm on an M2 Studio and I only experience issues with Kontat 7 if I put it on a second monitor it hard crashes in DP, and in standalone it makes the monitor flicker. You know, the weird thi...

Re: Sonoma 14.4

Right away it looks like any USB issues were solved by 14.4.1, we'll see.
Sounds like maybe Kontakts issues will be solved in NI time, whether that's in a week or in a month.
Good to get this stuff behind us, oh NI and Apple, why you gotta play us like this? :banghead:
