Hi all,

As the title says, my Z3TA 2 plugin (OSX AU) decided to only produce random noise today. Not responding to midi or preset selection at all. Just a loud, continuous, annoying noise.

Anybody else have the same problem?

You need to add some more info, are you using it as standalone, or in a DAW.

If you have this trouble in a DAW, can you try it in another DAW to see if the problem persists?

I wrote (OSX AU) so I thought it was obvious it was an Audio Unit - Sorry about that. Anyway, I've tried it in Ableton Live 8 and Logic Pro 9. Same result both places.

is it a legitimate version?

uninstall it and reinstall it (it's in the HD>Library>Audio>Plugins folder). delete the files in the VST folder, ETC as well.

z3ta+ 2 has a great sound, and GREAT potential, but arps (which i use a lot) lose sync in logic. and their tech support must have been run over by Skrillex or something...am WAITING for replies... UGH.

Yes, of course.

Tried uninstall/reinstall - didn't help at all.

go to your user library (what version os x are you on?) it's option key-GO menu to show the user library in 10.8.
(close logic first!) find the cache folder, delete the com.apple.audiounits file. (you're gonna have to reauthoize your AU plugins).

do this opening logic 32bit first IF you have any 32bit AU's. the close, reopen 64bit and do the same thing...

Any solution for 10.6.8 users?

OT: I had the same trouble with Z3TA+, that's why I didn't bother to go for Z3TA 2.

this is reply i got from tech support did not work for me but may work for one of you

First,
Let's run a clean install of the program. To do this,
You should try uninstalling and reinstalling your Z3TA+2 libraries to get everything up and in working order.

To wipe out your Z3TA+2 directories simply delete the following files and folders:
Macintosh HD\Library\Audio\Plug-ins\Components\z3ta2-wrapper.component
Macintosh HD\Library\Audio\Plug-ins\VST3\z3ta2.vst3
Macintosh HD\Users\"UserName"\Documents\Z3TA2
This is the Content Location (Back this up)
Macintosh HD\Library\Audio\Presets\Cakewalk
This is the Preset Location (Back this up)
When you reinstall Z3TA+2, these should be the file paths that the above files should default to when installing.

Afterwards, you will want to download then install the appropriate updates and free Expansion Packs for Z3TA+2 from our website.

This should eliminate any software irregularities that are causing your problem, but let us know if it does not.

Second,
There are two .plist files that are generated once this trial period is over. They are called tts plist, and com.cakewalk.z3ta2. You should able to find them if you go to User\Library\Preferences\ByHost and delete them. If not, make sure to check the other locations that are specified in the clean install directions.

Lastly,
Once these are deleted download a fresh installer for Z3TA+2 and you will have the ability to enter your registration code the next time you instantiate Z3TA+2 within a DAW.

Z3TA 2 Stopped working today...
