Spark 1.7 release crashes Studio One

[Kevin]

Sorry,
I have misunderstood because of the other problems reported in the same thread.
I will look at this one tomorrow morning and get back to you ASAP.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

@Emetic,

Does 1.7 work ok in standalone? If so have you made any user projects with it?
I have been looking at this again this morning and so far 1.7 and studio one 2.5.2 are working together. I have been testing with the standard factory library only, so I think that your issue might be due to some odd incompatibility with user projects. If you can load spark in S1 would you mind posting a picture of the about window? 

Thanks,

toby

I redownloaded the exe, completely removed 1.6.1.1 again (and checked the vst dll's had gone), installed 1.7 to default locations. It loads (slowly after "not responding") in standalone and can load user kits, the build version is 1.7.119. It now no longer crashes S1 x64 but the plugin build version is 1.5.143 built on Sep 28th 2012!! Where did that come from, should it not be the same as standalone?? I wonder now if when I installed 1.6.1.1 it even updated the plugin. I have had nothing but issues with this software, be it super high cpu, slow loads, crashes. It's getting a joke (and no, it's not my machine, everything else runs perfectly).

Please sort asap. Ta.

You might be running the wrong plugin in Studio One.
Try to delete Spark.dll then launch Studio One and make sure it can not locate Spark anymore.
Then reinstall Spark VST.

So this is getting even more confusing. I now find I have two x64 spark plugins, one in the root of VSTPlugins, the other in VSTPlugins/Arturia (I never told the install to put one there). I removed the one in the root, S1 now crashes on start up as before. Put it back, still crashes. Good one. Again. Why is it installing in places I never told it too, and where did it get that other, presumably old version from! They were definitely cleared when I uninstalled. Standalone is fine.

Update. I remove the Spark.dll from VSTPlugins/Artura, leave the one in the root now S1 loads fine and is v1.7

Why is the installer putting dodgy dll's in the Arturia folder!!

[Kevin]

The installer only install the dll where you tell it to install it.
So if you are sure you never selected this folder when installing Spark, it does not comes from Spark installer.
Maybe it is something done by Studio One, as HamHat said.
But it is a very strange behavior.

Hi Guys
The Spark VDM v1.7 on StudioOne v2.5.2 64bit on Win7 Pro works fine.
But the midi notes Inst. patch is not the same.

But the midi notes Inst. patch is not the same.

Sorry I don'r understand.
Can you give me some details?

It seems after the1.7 update the default midi notes are not the same.
I got your reply on how to set the midi note per pad
So i'll now set them up for Keylab-61

Thanks again Kevin
