Vital makes Reaper crash

Bugs
#1

When i open Vital in Reaper, if my Komplete Kontrol A25 Midi controller is connected, Reaper just freezes and won’t respond anymore.
Windos 10, Vital 1.0.5

#2

Can you try updating to 1.0.7 and see if that’s still a problem?

#3

Vital started to Crash Ableton Live after latest update. Works fine on PC but in Catalina it makes Ableton to freeze.

All the tracks with Vital play nornally, but If i Open the GUI Ableton freezes.

#4

Does the standalone open?

#5

Didn’t even know there was standalone version…but yes it works fine.
If i open fresh ableton project and add Vital it works. But tracks that i have already started with previous version of Vital seems to crash Ableton. But ableton 10 is not the most stable DAW anyways.

#6

Would also be curious if the standalone works for you

#7

If you could share the Reaper project with me that might help me track this issue down.

#8

Just updated to 1.0.7 and everything is working just fine. Thanks for such amazing synth by the way!

Issue with 1.7 and Reaper. When I load the plug, the UI remains blank.

#10

On linux?

#11

Windows 10.

#12

Two monitors?

#13

No. Only one screen. 4K

#14

Thanks for the info, couple more questions though.

Does the standalone Vital app work?
Do you have any midi controllers plugged in?

#15

Yes. There is a white screen 1 second then the UI.
I have a master keyboard connected with USB.

#16

Vital VST3 crashes Reaper for me too. It is very easy to produce:
Start Reaper, add new track with virtual instrument, select Vital
After Vital, I add FX, for example ReaDelay.
Then I click between Vital and ReaDelay a couple of times (the GUIs for each shows), and boom Reaper disappears (when clicking away from Vital). Output:

$ ./reaper
!! killing thread by force !!
FATAL: exception not rethrown
Aborted (core dumped)

Have not been able to enable actual core dumping, not with apport or ulimit -c

Ubuntu Studio 20.04
Vital 1.0.7
Reaper 6.25

#17

This sounds very much like the crash I reported here:

#18

Funny, looks like it crashes trying to download something?

#19

Any news on this? I sometimes get the “killing thread by force” error, but more often Reaper just freezes and I have to manually kill the process. This actually happens quite often as well and it’s making Vital unusable for me. Sometimes a project won’t even load because I had a Vital window open when saving. I’m running Manjaro Linux kernel 5.14.10-1, Reaper v6.37, Vital v1.0.8 VST3. The LV2 seems a bit more stable but that has some graphical issues when reopening the plugin after adding it.

#20

how did you get that log info? I’ve been running Reaper (Linux) using the following command that I got from Robbert from Yabridge:

rm -f /tmp/reaper.log; /opt/REAPER/reaper >/tmp/reaper.log 2>&1

is there a way to get a more verbose log from Reaper?
