Hi there,
This problem happens quite frequently and it doesn't seem to be user error to me. I use an M1 Macbook Pro running Sonoma 14.5, the latest version of Ableton Live 11 and the latest version of the Aalto VST.
I've recorded a video here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/4ziegamacqaeraqho7y76/Aalto-Bug.mov?rlkey=fp6babbv1gf3kh9i26tevxtwf&dl=0 (just click x on the Dropbox login prompt).
Unfortunately the video is without audio but you can see the green audio indicator in the channel. If you follow my cursor in the lower left corner you'll see me playing MIDI notes (the yellow indicator before the plugin), then suddenly audio stops and Aalto no longer emits audio while I keep playing MIDI notes.
The plugin doesn't freeze but the way audio cuts out is definitely not a logical result of the patching, and it happens on various patches. It's as if there's some kind of internal overload and -wam-, no more sound. The only way to resolve it is to load up a new instance of the plugin.
Would be great if you could have a look at this because it's becoming quite cumbersome :-) Thanks!
Wow, I had to read the title a few times to make sure it was Aalto and not Sumu. Aalto is mature and stable, and I haven't heard about audio dropouts in years. Sorry it's not working smoothly.
Does it happen only on specific patches and not on the factory patches? If so please send me one of the patches, so I can try to reproduce this. Via email to support@madronalabs is best please.
Sure thing! Thanks Randy.
