Waldorf PPG Wave 2.V crashes validation ?

Question

Waldorf PPG Wave 2.V crashes validation ?

Hi There

I've just installed the Waldorf Edition update to get my PPG Wave running on my new Intel Mac Pro.

However, despite passing all the tests on the AU validation window, the validation result is that it crashes validation. How can that be ? The other two AUs that come in the bundle both work fine (Waldorf Attack and D-Pole), which is typical because the PPG is the one I wanted to get working 🙂

I should also note that it works absolutely fine in LIVE v8.0, so it is only Logic which is taking exception to this plug-in.

Has anyone any suggestions fior this ? I've tried re-installing and the same thing happens. There are no preferences that I can see to trash.

Some assistance in this would be most useful.

Thanks

I think you should try asking Waldorf. They made it.
Also: you can often still use a plugin that has crashed validation. Just tick it in the AudioUnits manager. As long as you keep the crashed plugin enabled, Logic will warn you at every startup though. But bottom line is that Waldorf should rectify (update) whatever the error is.

Get the most recent version from Waldorf - it passes validation just fine.

As always, if you are having third-party plugin issues, the first thing to do is make sure you are running the most recent version.

Ok - what version of the PPG etc does the AU Manager report?

It might be possible that you have two copies (one in the root library, and one in the system library), or Logic is using cached info from a previous version.

In which case, try deleting your AU cache and rebooting, and seeing whether that helps. Failing that, do a complete uninstall of the Waldorf edition, and reinstall, and see whether that does the trick.

user/library/caches/com.apple.audiounits.cache
and
user*/library/caches/Logic/

Hi there

AU Manager reports Waldorf is v 1.2.2 which is the current one.

I've checked all libraries and there is only one copy of PPG Wave.

I'll try flushing the caches as you suggest and see what happens, plus an uninstall of the Waldorf edition.

Thanks

If it crashes validation again, post a copypaste of the 'report' from the Auvaltool (=the Plugin validator) on here - or better still, send it to Waldorf.
The cachecleaning might just work though.

Hi

OK Remedial exercise failed. PPG still won't open in Logic (crashes validation), but opens fine both as AU and VST in LIVE 8, so I think the plug-in is fine, it's Logic 🙂

I can't copy the validation log, it just won't copy as a text file (what's with that Apple ?), only as a tiff, which I've sent to Waldorf.

AU Manager reports Waldorf is v 1.2.2 which is the current one.

Really?

What about the 1.2.3, 1.2.4, 1.2.5 and 1.2.6 versions available from Waldorf?

I feel such a fool 🙂 I went to the Waldorf site to see if there were any updates when I first had this problem but the only update I found was an earlier version than the one I had !

I've now found the latest updates and as you say it works fine.

Thanks for all your helpful suggestions.

Obviously check the website for updates before tearing hair out at Logic's apparent sniffiness in validation 🙂

Which was kinda my first point 😉

Glad you got it sorted, anyway.
