Dsk Vsti + My Song Bugs :-(

Hi,

I don’t understand and I am so sad ! I composed a song with Renoise v2.10 using DSK VSTi Plugins. I saved, opened and played this song without problem !
Now, with Renoise v2.10, v2.50 & v2.60 beta5, I open my song and Renoise detects an error :

“The following plugins could not be found or failed to open : Instrument 04: VST: DSK Music DSK Ethereal PadZ 2”.

Please, could you test my song here ?

Personaly, VSTi works with success because I have already the DSK Plugins (no update) when I composed my music.

Please help me…

Thank you & Greetings,

you may want to clear the vsti cache and then rescan the vsti folder, that should do the job… have a dubstastic day!

I had a go at it. Downloaded the DSK plugs, and it seemed to open just fine. It did open rather slowly, but to be fair it’s a reasonably large project. Played fine too (nice song, btw). When I went to close it, Renoise (2.5) spat out a pair of errors (even after re-saving as a new file, and re-opening):

Seeing as how I just installed the vst’s, I don’t see the cache as being the culprit here. Just like the error log states: likely a bug in the vst.

Not sure what the answer is iNTERLuNe.

edit: spelling.

Hi,

I tried to rescan the vsti folder but it didn’t work ! But, please how to clear the vsti cache ?

Thank you for your help :slight_smile:

iNTERLuNe

To clear the cache, go to Help > Show Pref. Folder.

When the folder opens, delete “CachedFailedVSTs” & “CachedVSTs”. Close & Restart Renoise. It should rescan & rebuild the dbs.

Side question: How much RAM is in your machine?

Hi,

I deleted “CachedFailedVSTs” & “CachedVSTs” files. I closed & restarted Renoise. No, sorry ! Error from Renoise :frowning:
My machine is 2Go RAM.

Thank you for your help,

Please help me before Christmas 2010… I need improve my music with Renoise v2.61. I can send you the music + DSK Plugins (without updates!) so that you can test music and VST(i) Plugins.

Thank you,

iNTERLuNe

I’ve downloaded most plugins through the vendor site (why the hell is he using megaupload?) but i don’t experience errors.
Do note, i’m using a 64-bit windows, so i have full 2GB ram for Renoise available. I think you might be experiencing a RAM issue here.
(Try to crank it up to 4GB)

Edit:I forgot to rescan after adding the mini drumz 2, when i add those, i can get errors.
Looks like you can’t start up too many instances of these plugs.
