DLSMusicDevice crashing GarageBand V6.05

I've tried loading up 4 different soundfonts in the DLSMusicDevice, and each time, it crashes GarageBand as soon as I close the DLS window and return to GB's main window. It's a new project with just the 1 instrument track. It's my first experience with soundfonts in
GB and its not going very well so far.


Anything I can try? Is there a better soundfont player plugin for use in GB?

Well, I've booted into safe mode, and I've repaired both disk and disk permissions from the Recovery partition, and DLSMusicDevice still crashes GarageBand V6.0.05 every time. I just fresh installed Mountain Lion on Jan 8 and reinstalled GB shortly thereafter. What gives with this problem? Please don't make me call Apple support, I don't think I could take it;-)

That does not tell me much, unfortunately.

Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)

Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x00000000218ccdf1

That is a typical error, when you have media files that are corrupted. MAybe the soundfonts you are trying to use have a problem. Did you download them somewhere? Which soundfonts are you using? If you could provide a link we could try them.

It may be Mt. Lion. There have been other reports:


See for example: Soundfonts making GarageBand crash


I tried your soundfont on my Snowleopard installation (Mac OS X 10.6.8 with GB'11) and it works great.

But on Mt. Lion it crashes most of the time, if I use any soundfont.


More soundfonts are here, see the FAQ: http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/PlugInsSoundFonts.html


I have not used them since I switched to Mt. Lion. For me the additional instruments in the JamPacks that come with MainStage 2 are sufficent. They work very well with GarageBand '11 in Mt. Lion.
