Steinberg Vsti not recognized by Synfire plugin scanning

Posted

Halion 5.dll  makes that Synfire chrashes and Halion Sonic and Symphoic orchestra seems to be not recognised too.

with the synfire 1.8 update the 64 bit engine became default. are these plugins installed as 32 and 64 bit?

As i can see it now : they are installed as 64 bit plugins ( i put Halion5.dll in the soundcase.dll folder )
Note: could be still 32 bit vsti versions in the 64 bit windows folder ?..

All Cognitone plug-ins use the same filename for 32 and 64 bit versions, so you'll need to keep them in separate directories.

I installed Halion 5 64 bit again, but it chrashes in Synfire when scanning: see enclosed pic

Note: also a menuoption for the 32 bit engine in Synfire what still exists :launch audio engine (32 bit)  ?

Yes, you can still run the 32 bit Engine. It's just that the 64 bit Engine is now used by default.

The Scanner should never crash. I'll have a look.

Difficult to tell, as Scanner does virtually nothing. It loads the plug-in (links to the VST dll) and looks into its specs (number of channels, etc). Why this would crash Scanner is beyond me. Nevertheless I'll have a look into it.

BTW: Scanner starts a child process (also Scanner.exe) for each plug-in, so a crash will not block it from scanning all other plug-ins. So if you see a crash, the scanning should continue.

I do a new test reinstall for the working version 1.7.18b9  ..let's see if the HAlion 64 bit Vsti is working here  
Note: could be that i remove too much code with the REVO uninstaller..i suddenly realize now
I seems to be turns out in a ....?
AVG virus scanner is now removing Engine.exe in the 1.7.18b9 install..but i seems i cannot restore back Synfire to the wanted configuration
It is leading to nowhere at the moment...luckily there is no pressure on this issue.

Never experienced this installation difficulties before... screen : Cognitone audio Engine Setup screen  ..shows C:\Program Files (x86)\Steinberg\VstPlugins\ 

I downloaded a new version .. Synfire plugin scanner chrashes again on Halion5.dll ..  Can the audio engine handle Halion5.dll ?
How about other users of Halion5 with the Synfire 1.8 ..no problem?
