Renoise Crash Automating BPM while playing

I have noticed a couple of times that Renoise crashes when automating BPM, but it only seems to happen while track is playing and i’m doing changes to the automation at the same time.

Not a huge problem, as it’s not something i do often and i usually stop the song while editing, but i sometimes forget. It’s a hard crash and no backup song is created, so you will lose some work when it happens.

Do you have a crash log? Could be caused by a VST plugin, too!

It’s a hard crash and no backup song is created, so you will lose some work when it happens.

Was that a bug report or a cautionary tale?

I could try to recreate this - but without using VSTs, and not while working on my entry for MBC10 :lol:

It could very well be caused by VSTs, i have no idea. It doesn’t happen all the time, so i really have no idea what triggers it.

It happened a few days ago and I just thought i should mention it as it has happened to me a few times. I can see if i find the crash log or try to recreate it.

You could temporarily enable sandboxing (u know u have to restart Renoise after that). It could be possible then that you will get an actual crash message with some details, if a vet is the cause for the crash.

I tried for a while now, but not been able to recreate the problem, so i don’t know.

I forgot to mention that my ASIO driver had stopped working after the crash, so maybe it’s just a soundcard driver issue?

I wonder if this might be the log:
