DP 9.02 hangs examining Arturia V Collection5 VST

[kgdrum]

Hi
With the Black Friday sales I decided to upgrade the Arturia V Collection to version 5,I downloaded and installed using the Arturia installer.
Now when I open DP 9.02 the VST examination process always hangs when examining B-3 V Last DestructorBase processor 2.
I have,force quit, restarted the Mac, repaired permissions etc.... and DP can't seem to get past this step.......Any ideas?
Thanks,
KG

I had the same problem with that version of DP and my original download of the Arturia V Collection. I just let it go and after waiting a VERY long time, it finally passed the VSTi and I have never had a problem since.

Make sure you use the Arturia Software Center to guarantee you have the most recent version downloaded. It may be better behaved now.

Otherwise, extreme patience did pay off ... eventually!!

Thanks for the info Terry
Weird stuff,I've never seen this before,it must be something with Arturia, I am using their latest installer.
7 of the Arturia VI's failed the VST examination.
I talked to Magic Dave he suggested I try AU in preferences but it looks like the same thing.........
He also suggested I move to DP9.12 which I might do if the AU examination does not succeed.
The fun never ends.......

Well, like I said - just give it overnight. All of mine eventually did scan in. There are a ton of PNG graphics that seem to each be scanned that the DLL references - it took forever. Overnight did the trick.

I hadn't thought of it in a while, but definitely the re-scans of the same VSTi's when they are updated is not taking long anymore when using 9.12, so it might have been on DP's end as well.

There is no reason to wait "overnight" for a VSTi to pass validation. Just install Arturia's products as
AU. I have ALL of Arturia's VI's and have never had one problem with validating the AU versions.

AU does work. The three that hang on validation for me are Matrix 12, Synclavier and B3.

My workaround since I use quite a few plug ins that have a need for MIDI out, is to use the Analog Lab VSTi for all Arturia plug ins. The added bonus is Arturia are one of the few manufacturers that allow for MIDI CCs tied to a VSTi, i.e. you can use a custom MIDI map in Analog Lab to get the same functionality as the Keylab keyboards.
