Hi, these seem much improved with Bitwig now. Many thanks!

Sadly same behavior - Tonespace loads about one time out of 20.
I just noticed if I change Bitwig's Plug-in Hosting Mode to "Within Bitwig" or "Together", Tonespace loads everytime.
Changing it to "Individually", "By Manfuctarurer" or "By Plug-in", then it loads almost never.

Hope this helps!

I use Bitwig Studio on Debian 13 (Trixie = Testing)... without Flatpak or such nonsense - "pure" .deb files. I can confirm a similar behaviour: Depending on the mode Bitwig uses the plugin (together with Bitwig Studio, .... , individually) it is loaded or crashes the PlugIn host.

But very interesting/strange:
I have tried different directories for tonespace' executable and... changing the above mentioned opening/usage mode makes the executable inside a different folder in my system operable and the other (working before) now crashes Bitwig Studio's Plugin host

Any idea?

I use x64 VST2

Version 2.9 works good in Debian 12 - bookworm-stable with Bitwig and int/ext Midi.
Sometimes the GUI won`t open and the Plugin crash when open the GUI multiple time, and out focus the DAW.
Its random and rare.
