SynthMaster 2.5.4.149 - Using the Scrub Area makes LIVE crash automatically v.8.3.4(32) & Beta(64)

[scrkvr]

Dear Bülent, Dear Synthmaster team.

Once again what a wonderful synth you gave birth to !!!

Yesterday I upgraded Synthmaster to the latest version (2.5.4.149).
I Use the latest version of Ableton LIVE (32bits) and (beat 64 bits)

Synth Master works flawlessly in the Session View.
In the arrangment view eveything seems to work fine but If I click into the Scrub Area to make playback jump to another point, Live automatically crashes.
Same midi bloc with another VST doesn't reproduce the problem. It only happens with Synthmaster...

I was about to make the next Dancefloor HIT but now I cannot use Synthmaster anymore....
Same problem occurs with any new project I create.

I also had several times Gui problem. Red zone appears in synthmaster. I had to close and reopen the synth.


I run Win 7 sp1 X64 +

What I tried to do:

Deleted the Ableton temp and config Files located in the ROAM folder.
Reinstalled Live
Reinstalled Synthmasther
Tried different Skins,
Tried different Pereset.
Tried different buffer size
Tried different different sound Quality


Please

Is it in anyway possible to show me how to reproduce this? Like through a video? or step by step explain to me how to do it?

Regarding the red zone, yes it happens while drawing on 64bit Windows, probably a GDI+ issue.

Ok. I've just uploaded a video. you can download it at :

As you can see there's only one Synthmaster instance.
Iselect a preset at random.

First, in the session view, I create a midi clip with random notes.
Then I move this clip in the arrangment view. I duplicate the clip so it lasts from measure 2 to measure 17.

Now I click in the Scrub Area , so the playback jumps directly to measure 15, Then it crashes.

It's doesn't happen with another VST.

Thanks now I have a test case to debug!

I hope you will find a Fix to this.

I think I figured the root cause for this: It has to do with the host using variable buffer size. I'll try to find a definite solution to this until tomorrow night.

[scrkvr]

can't wait Thank you !

[kv331]

I believe I fixed it, YAY!

Now I'm off to fixing some other issues and then will release a new update hopefuly tomorrow night!!!

Ho yeah !

Ho yeah !

Hey I uploaded the update for Windows. The FX version is not complete yet (need to implement delay for the audio inputs) but the Synth version works flawlessly!

(I've did some extensive testing with Reaper, by changing buffer sizes, looping, changing tempo etc... )

You did a great job again !
After updating Synthmaster, I wasn't able to reproduce the problem.

Nothin' can stop me now !
