Title: Sparkle: sound stop randomly
Post by: ifurybeat on July 16, 2013, 11:18:08 pm

Hello,

i have another problem with the SparkLe in cubase 7 64 bit (windows 8 64 bit).

I have a session where the spark randomly stop playing. I mean it continue to play but the sound stop for 1 or 2 seconds and continue after this.

It's not a buffer or cpu problem.

Anyone have this bug too?

Hi,
I think I have seen this issue once or twice.
Is it systematic?
When does it happens exactly?

Hi Kevin,

it's very strange because it's happen only in one of my session. Please note that i cannot update my sparkLE controller to 1.2.2.2 version; i'm still on 1.0.

I will try to described what i did:

1-Last year, i remember i had the same bug in this cubase 6.5 (64 bit) session on window 7 64 bit.
2-I moved to Mac Osx (lion) and had the same bug on the same cubase version.
3-Now i tried it on Mac OSX (mountain lion) with cubase 7 (64 bit): same bug.
4-On windows 8 (64 bit) with cubase 7 (64 bit) : same bug.
5-I said to myself maybe it's a sample bug and load another Spark kit: same bug.
6-I decided to move all my tracks to a template session i have made recently on windows 8: same bug.
7-I started a new fresh session in cubase 7 (64 bit) and import just the midi track of Spark from my buggy session: everything is ok.

Do you know if certain plugins can interfere with the Spark? Because, last year i tried everything on Spark and now i have a SparkLE unit and same bug for both.
The thing i don't understand, it's i have the same bug when i transfer all my tracks to another session but not with a fresh one.

Thanks

SparkLE controller latest version is 1.0.3.
A new version should be available soon but it includes (as well as 1.0.3) only MIDI mode related bugfix.

I don't know. This sounds really strange.
Can you give me more details about the problem itself?
What happens exactly?

Ok, i discovered the culprit for this problem.

it's the newVB3 from crysonic. When it's insert in the track, the sound from the Spark become choppy.

I didn't have this problem on Mac Osx. Well, a least it works :)

Is it not a demo limitation of this crysonic plugin?
