Re: [Linuxsampler-devel] Issue with QSampler on macOS

I think my previous reply was blocked because of an attached zip file so I’m attempting again…

After testing gigedit and the AU and VST plugins here is a rundown:

QSampler can’t load gigedit and gives an error message:

When I try and launch Gigedit directly, it crashes. I’m attaching the crash log in this email.

The VST plugin does not pass a validation scan in any of the apps I tried, so I cannot attempt to load the VST plugin (more on this below).

The AU plugin only passes validation in Reaper. It does not pass validation in Logic/MainStage or Plogue Bidule. When attempting to load the AU in Reaper, it completely hangs Reaper and I have to force quit. While hung, I grabbed a sample process from activity monitor and am attaching it to this email. This hang occurs even if I load the plugin as a dedicated/separate process in Reaper. I also killed the app via the terminal so I could get a crash log. I’m attaching that log as well.

If I attempt to load the AU or VST plugin using mannix VST Wrapper, it also completely hangs Reaper.

If there is any other info I can provide that would be useful please let me know.
