I just bought Rhino..... so just started editing. I noticed that when I go do to anything with the OSC envelopes.... add point etc. It totally crashes Sonar. I am using Sonar 3.1.1 with the latest VST wrapper update. I seem to be able to edit other parameters just fine. I looked back a couple of pages but did not see anything about this.

I have a P4, 2.4 gh machine with about a gig of RAM.

Anyone else have this problem or know a work around?

TIA

My strategy for using VST/VSTi instruments in Sonar -- I'm currently on version 3.1.1 -- is this: I bought a copy of Chainer (from Xlutop). I use the Cakewalk adapter to wrap the Chainer VSTi plugin. To use a VSTi in Sonar, I open Sonar's synth rack and make an instance of the Chainer VSTi. In Chainer, I open the desired VSTi -- Rhino, for example.

For me, Chainer is the best VST host and best VST wrapper that I've tried -- and I think I've tried them all. In addition to wrapping, Chainer gives you layering, wet/dry mixing, A/B comparison and switching, and lots more. I've gone back to every project and switched to using Chainer for every VSTi instance in Sonar. It works *really* well for me.

I just tested the Chainer/Rhino combo in Sonar -- editing OSC envelopes. Works just fine.

Thanks for the thought. To me, seems like an expensive solution just to edit Rhino. I was hoping the editing function would be included.

Ok, even though I always use Chainer to wrap VSTi plugins for use in Sonar, I just tested Rhino using Cakewalk's adapter just to see. Using version 4.4.1 of the wrapper in Sonar 3.1.1 and editing lots of OSC envelopes, I get no crashes at all. Everything seems to be working just fine on my system.

Do you have any more details or an exact recipe that will cause the crash?

rjt: indeed, if you can tell me how to reproduce the crash, I'll fix it :-)

Allright...what the heck do I know? Checked my Sonat 3.1.1, check my wrapper 4.4.1 Fired up Sonar and small song I have created to test new soft synths. Opened Rhino....no problem editing... no crashes etc. etc. okay, must be when I had midi data going to it. Started the tune playing through Rhino.... edited.... no problem. Hmmmmmmmmm...... I know it crashed Sonar about 6-7 times yesterday. Was proably something entirely unrelated to the synth.

Anyway, thanks much for your time and willingness to help. I really like smaller companies, because they usually really support their products... much appreciated.

Well, while working on Rhino 2 I fixed a small problem with envelopes in sync mode. I doubt it would cause crashes, but who knows.... If the problem is happening too often please let me know and I'll send you Rhino 2 beta.

Cheers,

Just tried it again... seemed to work fine. Maybe because I didn't reboot after the original install or something. Thanks again!
