Hi Rob,

we are talking about your situation all the time, because we just can´t figure out what could have gone wrong...

VSTack is a VST instrument host - if you don´t have VST instruments, it won´t see anything to load...

I´d simply run the Software installer once again, this time WITH the VSTi part [:)]

I really hope that works for you - that would solve 7 (!) threads on this page alone....

Best, Paul

Hi Paul,

Finally abandoned the VST System Link - it just casued too many problems. As a simple VST plugin I got Vstack to work OK (I'll worry about System link later [[;)]] ).




Sorry to be such a pain in you arse but once I have everyting working I loaded up a 'universal patch' and got a prompt that shows a list that many files were missing.

I have done the 'scan tool' and the Directory shows all the Chamber sections listed Strings, Violins, Violas, Celli, Bassi. - all in one folder on my audio drive.

Not sure why these files would 'not be found'. My key is shown correctly with Chamber - demo has 178 starts left.

I trashed this Audio folder (with all the Chanber Strg titles) and I am installing it once again to be certain I didn't have a problem in the install.

While there are many small hairline scratches on the surface of the DVD's supplied (in this case 3 for Chamber Strgs) - there appears to be no deep scratches.

Any thing else you can recommend Paul?


Rob

Can't cut and paste a screen shot but it is three pages of missing files. ONLY on the 'universal' patch. I have since tried some other Matrixes and they are fine.

Any ideas on why I get this loading error for just the Universal patch)?


Rob

(BTW - maybe the 'placebo effect' - but these 24 bit files sound superb!!!!! - ah who cares sounds great)

Hi Rob,

maybe it's helpful for verifying:
the installed library folder for the chamber strings should have
29,3 GB (31.507.097.223 Bytes)

Great question! Yes it is 29.3 GB for the folder I have all the Chamber Strgs in.

Could it be a 'key' issue?

I get this ERROR when I have tried to load "Universal" or "Performace Trills" matrixes.

I'll keep going through the matrixes on the Cbr Violins.


Let me know what a possible solution could be.

Rob

I can only guess, but maybe you have only access to the Standard library.
You can verify this loading all the Level 1 Matrixfiles or the Level 1 Preset if you don't get any error messages than this could be the reason.

But that means that you shouldn't be able to load any patch which has the small L2 signature at the end of the patchname.

Another good question Herb - that was the first thing I thought but I have been able to load a number of other 'L2' matrixes. (BTW - on the Short notes CHMBR violines L2 one - very nice on the Detache - short and long)


Tried a lot more L2 Matrixes - seems like the 'Universal' and Perf Trill Speed Combi L2' are the only ones right now giving me the 'error' message

BTW - when this error comes up - it crashes both VI and Vstack. Restart, load another 'proven' matrix and I am fine. Load up one of these two after restarting VS and it crashes again.

I am running software 1.03.

Rob

I've checked both Matrix files with version 1.3 in VStack and as plug in in SX3. No problems here. Strange, I'll ask our developers to jump in.

Herb

Thanks Herb. Just to try everything - I tried setting my soundcard buffer size to 256 samples (was 12[H] on that PC - no impact. VI still crashes upon loading Universal Cbr VL matrix (as well as perf trill).

Looking forward to your input. This is a 'bump in the road' that we will figure out by for the matrixes I have been able to open I am very impressed with the level of detail and work you and your team have given this effort. Simple atonishing!


Rob.

when this error message "can't find wave .." pops up, the VI is unable to resolve the path to its waves.

Please make sure that in Scantool (Directory Manager) you point to the folders which actually contain the .dat files.

VI does not do any recursion to resolve nested folders ie folder in folder.

eg if you point to "Chamber Strings" and within this folders are the actual
10 Strings Chamber, 11 Violins Chamber etc which contain the .dat files, VI cannot resolve.

So pls check if in ScanTool 10 Strings Chamber, 11 Violins Chamber etc are explicitly listed.

Without question the individual folders are shown in the Directory Manager and I have unloaded and loaded them back again a number of times (just to be sure).

Gone through the VA in Chbr and the following are causing the crash as well


VA Perf Lef Speed + porta

(interesting to point out that when this one crashed I unloaded this VI from VS - reloaded again and this matrix worked the second time.



VA Perf Universal

(tried the above worka round on this patch and still crashed)


--I'll keep going through Chbr strings (seems to be a trend that the largest of Matrixes are getting this error message and causing the crashes).

Looking forward to any additional input.


Rob

I have it!!!! I remember something DG said about the GS memory config tool. I went to that utility and set it to "XP Default". No crashes!!!!


Hope this helps someone else who is converting from a GS machine.

(VSL - I would resommend some official procedure to be certain we have the most access to ram - heck maybe switching this within GS is enough [[;)]] )


edit note: With this set to XP Default - I noticed available ram is down to 1500 MB (was 1750 MB) [:'(] . Anyone else tried the other GS memory tweaks (the one that was giving me problems was preset #4)


Rob

Rob,

I would try to load the individual patches which were used in these Matrix files, if this works your database is OK, and there is a problem with the Matrixfiles.

Matrixfile 01 VI-6 Perf-Universal

Folder:
10 PERF INTERVAL
Patches:
01 VI-6_perf-legato
05 VI-6_perf-marcato
06 VI-6_perf-spiccato

Folder:
98 RESSOURCE / 03 Perf Speed variation
Patches:
01 VI-6_perf-legato_me
02 VI-6_perf-marcato_me
03 VI-6_stac-spic
06 VI-6_perf-spiccato_me


Matrixfile 01 VI-6 Perf-Trill Speed - Combi

Folder:
10 PERF INTERVAL
Patches:
01 VI-6_perf-legato
03 VI-6_perf-legato_zigane
04 VI-6_perf-portamento

Folder:
11 PERF TRILL
01 VI-6_perf-trill_leg

Further I would add one patch to the other in a new Matrix file (without unloading). If you get a crash at certain point, I would try loading again starting with the crashed patch. If this is working now, maybe there is a problem with one of your RAM modul.

If possible I would install the Chambner strings on a 2nd computer checking out these Matrix files.

I seems, that I was too slow in my previous post.
Cool, that you could fix it.

No Problem - get some sleep - the sun is coming up there in just a few hours!!!!

I need you fresh tomorrow [:P] (seriously - thanks)
