Bug #: 31212 Summary: Some VST instruments crash when reloaded in Mixcraft Product: Wine Version: 1.5.8 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: s_chriscollins@hotmail.com Classification: Unclassified
In Mixcraft, some VST instruments crash when loaded a second time on a track. However, the same instruments work fine when loaded for the first time on a track. The following can be reproduced easily in Mixcraft:
1. Start Mixcraft and select "Build Virtual Instrument Tracks" from the "New Project" window.
2. Click on the keyboard icon next to the first track name, which will bring up the instrument selection window.
3. Select "<VSTi Instruments>" from the left pane and then "Messiah" from the right pane. This sets the track to use the Messiah VSTi synth.
4. Now select "Acoustica Instruments" from the right pane.
5. Once again, select "Messiah" from the right pane. Mixcraft will pop up an error box with the title "An instrument has crashed" containing the following text: "A crash has been detected in the instrument "Messiah." This plug-in has been muted. We recommend you save your project and re-start Mixcraft to avoid losing your work."
Unfortunately, no helpful terminal output seems to be generated in relation to the plugin crash. I have provided more detailed notes on VST behavior in Mixcraft here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YEPh0mkd_ip1whAJXcRIl4HYny5D8LSeGo3qgzVH...
