Rob, you are a star. That gets me the samples. It's totally different from what it says in the manual! (but then, I may have it wrong). Many many thanks. I've also got the PPG2.3 sounds to load that way as well.

Strange bug. Never recognized this on Windows 7 so far.
I remember a comparable problem with someone who tried to use the new v1.2.9 update forthe Waldorf Edition. The solution was to update the Visual C++ runtime:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/d ... 4b9f2bc1bf
Maybe this helps if not i'll send this to the PPg Wave 3.v beta forum.
BTW there is a new version 8.2.1 of Ableton Live available since quite a long time, this could help too maybe.

Did you install the update of the Visual C++ Runtime? This is needed because the plugin is written in C++. In the other problem with the Waldorf edition this was the solution. BTW as far as i remember nobody of the betatesters used it in FLstudio. I hope it's not a bug specific to that host...

What a truly awful first experience with PPG Wave v3
I'm running Live 8 on a Mac Pro with Snow Leopard 10.6.5. I keep my system in perfect shape and haven't had a single technical problem - well that was until I tried to demo PPG Wave v3.
The installer failed on every instal attempt.

Never had a single problem with any install ever but there's a first eh. Gave up after about 8 attempts and resorted to doing a force-install using a mac app called Pacifist. This worked fine.
Then installed the demo license on my eLicenser dongle. Worked fine.
Finally launched Live and inserted an instance of PPG Wave v3. Played a note and it worked fine. Went to the browse window to choose a preset and as soon as I clicked on any preset everything froze. Completely locked down with a spinning beachball of death. Had to force quit live. Tried again and again and again and gave up.

Just deleted every last trace of the install and back to a perfect working Live 8 with every plug-in working great as usual.
What a nightmare. I was soo looking forward to demo this!

What I've picked up from the threads, and observed first-hand as well:
- The AU in the demo is buggy; if you try to use it in Live (or Logic or anything else), you'll get hangs similar to what you describe. The VST supposedly works much better; indeed I haven't had hangs with it. Since Live supports both AU and VST, of course, you have to make sure you're using the VST and not the AU; this bit me several times.
- A known bug exists with the install, where you'll get some generic "installation" error; I forget what exactly it looks like, it might be what you saw here. The fix is to install the latest Elicenser software and re-install PPG. That seemed to work for me. http://www.elicenser.net/en/latest_downloads.html
- The buggy AU, as I understand it, has been fixed in the release version. I can't say I've tested that, though.

Thanks for the clarification Willx
If Waldorf are aware of the issues they shouldn't be allowing potential customers to download buggy demos. Absolutely shocking stuff. I don't use VSTs in Live, only Audio Units. I'm certainly going to give this a miss for the foreseeable future as this kind of dodgy coding leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
