Hi Simon,

ok, so as I explained in the previous email, I'd suggest removing all remainings of MDrummer and installing it again. Just to ensure that the plugins are really not trying to use the previous version. This typically happens when you try to use a nonstandard VST plugins path. Also be careful about 32/64 bit plugins, do NOT use 32-bit MDrummer in 64-bit host and vice versa. I'll check in your hosts when possible, but I don't suppose there should be the problem.

[Simon Posford]

Already uninstalled Mdrummer4 and it's not the 32/64 bits the problem because its worked before and non 64 bits plugins aren't listed in T5 or podium.

When reinstalled Mdrummer 5 i have choosen the default path

Well, I just check Traction 5 and it seems just fine. I tried to check Podium, but spent too much time trying to figure out how to add a plugin into that weird thing, so eventually I gave up. Anyway I suppose if it works everywhere, it would work there too.

So I can only suggest same thing - uninstalling MDrummer, searching for any DLLs related to MDrummer and deleting them. Then restarting the computer and installing MDrummer again.

Ok so i have Uninstalled Mdrummer Rebooted reinstalled Mdrummer.

Launched Tracktion 5 ,rebuild the T5 plug in database ,Loaded MDrummer it works.

I have browsed some midi file and kit files and T5 crashed now i can't even load Mdrummer T5 instantly crash.

Edit:
If i load a project with mdrummer Tracktion crash only when i want to edit it ( i mean to have the mdrummer interface who appear).

[Simon Posford]

So finally i have found what cause the crash.

If i delete "style.cfg" on:
C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\MeldaProduction\MeldaProduction MDrummer L

the plug-in works.

I can't load it if i have a style.cfg .

Here what is written in the style config but if it can help:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<StyleConfiguration ColorScheme="3" EditorMode="Buttons" InvertColors="0" MainColor0="B8C0CAFF" MainColor1="5374A3FF" MainColor2="0064F5FF" MainColor3="2AC600FF" ResizeX="1" ResizeY="1" Style="Minimalistic"/>

[MeldaProduction]

Ha! Interesting! I'll check it out!

[MeldaProduction]

Hmmm, I just checked and seems just fine. Are you sure it is "style.cfg"? Because if so, then you still DO HAVE the old version there! "style.cfg" is not used anymore and is now called "StyleSettings.cfg".

[Simon Posford]

Sorry it's "StyleSettings.cfg" just checked when i change style colour mdrummer create a "StyleSettings.cfg" file.
I need to delete it before to launch Mdrummer.

[MeldaProduction]

Ok, we need to be precise here. Anyway now if you change the style, it stops working again?

[Simon Posford]

I can change the style but when i close Tracktion and reopen mdrummer it crash if i don't delete the StyleSettings.cfg before to launch it.

[MeldaProduction]

Ok Simon, that's weird at least. First, the standalone version is working, right? Could you try in Reaper for example? Just to ensure it is related to Tracktion. Could you send me an email, I'd get you a debug version, which will create a log, which should tell us what is wrong there.

[Simon Posford]

yep i can try with reaper but same result in all my daw podium mulab & tracktion.
Yep standalone is working fine i have just checked.

Pm sended for the mail.

[MeldaProduction]

Very well, I'll send you a debug version when possible .
