KarmaFX Forum

1. KarmaFX 1.10
2. Reaper 3.63
3. KarmaFX is crashing when I hit play in Reaper- only with my patches though
4. https://www.dropbox.com/s/2l7b1mtq95kga ... 20sync.kfx here's a link to one of my patches that's crashing

I'm thinking this is a problem with something I'm doing with some of my patches. But- they seem to be working fine in Audiomulch. Any help would be greatly appreciated- because this issue has made KarmaFX pretty much useless for me for the past few months and I've been using other synths. But I miss KarmaFX now! Thanks

Hi rocket34bg!

Thanks for reporting the bug!!

I'm aware of an issue in some hosts that utilize multi-threading (currently looking into that!), but
since it crashes when hitting play it sounds like something else. I'll take a look at the patch!

Thanks again.

Thanks for looking into this! This morning I installed a new copy of Reaper on a different computer and tried the patch and it did the same thing. So I don't think it's because of all my settings tweaks...

any ideas? i still can't figure out what's wrong

thanks!

Looks like a bug. I'll try to provide a fix in v1.11,and let you know if I figure out a temporary workaround.
Thanks again for reporting!

have you came up with a fix?

i miss my favorite synth- but i'm in too deep with reaper now to switch hosts to use it

thanks!

i was disappointed when the updates didn't fix my issue

do you have a fix so i can work around whatever is making me crash?

thanks!

So sorry!
I wasn't able to reproduce, so must have (wrongly) assumed that bug was fixed by some of the other changes (lots in v1.11). Guess that wasn't the case.

Unfortunatly the patch link doesn't work anymore.
I'll try to find the patch again, and repro. again.

found the patch!

Found the bug!
It's due to reaper calling suspend at a different time than other hosts.
Fix will be in v1.14!

It only happens when using polyphony.
So a valid workaround is to load your patch and, before pressing play, turn of polyphony (i.e. set it to mono). Then it doesn't crash.

cool!

i can stick to mono until the update. some of my polyphonic patches actually work so i never made the connection

Hi rocket34bg!

This should be fixed now in v1.14.
Please let me know if you still have issues in Reaper.

awesome! works great so far. thanks
