This is great stuff. Well done guys!

I'm on an Intel Mac mini mid-2018 running Ventura 13.4.1. I downloaded the initial release of VEP7 7.2.3310 yesterday (the first day of release) and ran it without a problem. Today, it would not load -- freezes and crash logs followed. Reinstalling that version did not fix it. 

But today's update VEP 7.3.3335 is working. These things have a lot of moving parts and everyone's system is unique. but I wanted to alert the forum. 

Hangs in an infinite loop of plugin validation with Arturia Filter M12.

Hi mmueller, 

Thanks for reporting.

Always helpful: Which OS, which version of VE Pro?

Best, 
Paul

7.3.3335 on Latest Montery. Hangs with VST3 version.

Arturia Dimension D is also reported as failed but is listed in the plugin list when I chancel the process.

Filter M12 however is reported as failed and the check of the plugin repeats again and again - each times stating that it has failed.

Clear and rescan does not help - I can't pass the M12 plugin and scan the the other plugins.

Hi, 

Thanks! We will look into it!

Best,

Just wanted to say thanks to Paul and the wider development team for both the Apple Silicon versions of VEP and the inclusion of VST3 support during the lifecycle of version 7

I've certainly appreciated that both have been included as free updates.

I'm a Windows user, but on this new VE Pro, my bypassed inserted VST plugins came to life - I could tell my levels were wrong and it was because every bypassed plugin was actually active, even though it still showed bypassed.

Oh man, so good to see the VEP Pro 7 Native! Installed and working beautifully!

The same happens with Ventura 13.5 on a M1 Ultra with 128GB Ram.

Vienna Ensemble Pro Server "loops" endless with Arturia's M12 Filter. Skipping does nor work only cancel.

It's not possible to scan remaining plugins after canceling.

The just released version 7.3.3358 still loops while scanning and does therefore not scan all plugins. I can't use any NI plugin because those are later in the scan pipeline. Clearing and rescanning does not help.

It's basically not usable like this.

You can work around this issue doing the following:.

1. Remove any vst3 plugins that get stuck from the vst3 folder.  You can see which ones get stuck after reset and rescan all.  You may need to repeat this step until all the offending VST3 plugins are removed.

2. Once you've removed the offending plugin(s), reset and rescan will allow you to get all the vst2 and AU plugins validated.  VST3 format are the only ones that cause problems.

3. Once this is done, add back one of the offending plugins and then click scan for changes.  Repeat this step until you have all of your plugins added.

step 3 will sometimes correctly scan the offending plugins. Sometimes it will still fail.  If it gets stuck in a loop again you'll need to start over from the beginning, and just leave out the ones that don't work.

I was able to get Kontakt and Guitar rig to scan correctly using this approach.  Those are the only two NI plugins I have.  

I also needed to remove Melodyne, TXLtimecode, and some of the spitfire plugins.

If you end up needing to leave out the VST3 version, you can use the others in the mean time until this issue gets fixed.

Thanks!

I tried this but the issue happened again with several Arturia VST3  plugins and when it continued with some Cherry Audio plugins I gave up. This takes too long. I am waiting for a fix.
