    Hi,

    I am having an issue, with IK Multimedia SampleTank, running in Vienna Ensemble Pro 7.

    I have no problems with SampleTank 3, but in version 4; when I go to edit an instrument, the program crashes.

    I know that many issues users experience are due to an issue with a plugin, however it is working fine in Cubase 10.5, and I am afraid I may have to migrate over to that program and away from VSL, since there have been quite a few updates to the plugin (ST4) since it was released.

    VEP is great because you can have a single instance of instruments, and connect to them without having to load sounds in a project file, i.e., from a DAW, however this situation has been brewing for a while it would seem.

    Hi emotive, 

    Which Os are you working on, and what are the exact version numbers of the involved software?
    We'll hav to reproduce the crashes to find out more. It will also help if you send us crash reports: support@vsl.co.at

    Hi Paul,

    No I have not, are you talking about a Windows Crash report, or something else?

    Thanks again

    Sure, however I don't know where to find this information and there is no guide in the forum either.

    Hi emotive, 

    Do you get any kind of message when ST 4 crashes? What does it say?

    Hi Paul,

    There is no message.

    If I try to edit an instrument in ST, both the host and plugin disappear.

    If I select one of the other editing options, e.g., "Effects Rack"and then go to Edit Instrument, I can briefly see the controls for the instrument but again both the application and plugin vanish, and VEP is immediately removed from the Task Manager.

    Just chiming in; similar issue. VEP7 and SampleTank4 crashes a lot. Each time I try to do something in it.

    No report, now warning. It's just gone.

    Any news on making this work?

    St4 is crashing a lot for me in VePro7 also.  Not usable.

    Not sure what kind of crash report I can provide, VePro simply crashes fast and hard without any report that I am aware of.

    Hi Paul

    My ST4 doesn't crash, just no sound or midi at all. VEPro7 shows midi flashing though

    Cheers
