Not that it's relevant here (but it is relevant for the desktop versions of Wotja), Bitwig ups the ante again by handling all plugin playback via a bridged hidden app. Maybe iOS/iPadOS doesn't behind the scenes shenanigans of this nature. By working in this manner, they're able to catch the crash without bringing down the host. The Steinberg and Sony/Magix scanner is much the same (a separate sandboxed app). I know both Ableton and Bitwig handle this on the desktop by loading plugins into their own thread when scanning (the scanner is actually a separate sandboxed app). I’m thinking along these lines! But I think some plugins simply crash which is much more problematic.Īnyhow, I’ll resolve it soon I hope it’s all I’ll look at for the foreseeable future! You can also build in an anonymised back to base feedback mechanism on problematic plugins that have to be skipped, and that makes for a smarter customer support said: With the vast universe of free and paid plugins on both desktop and mobile platforms, providing a graceful skip mechanism is the most user-friendly choice as crashing plugins don't stop the artist from using your application. If you go this route, you are advised to put an option in the global 'Options' to do a cold rescan (rescan everything inclusive of plugins previously marked as 'skip this plugin'). "Plugin X hasn't loaded properly, do you want to rescan it or skip it both now and in the future" You're usually presented with a dialogue stating something along the lines of: Having used many hosts over the years I've noticed that the best of them have a graceful skipping mechanism when encountering plugins that the host can't load. It's unlikely that this is the only plugin causing crashes, as it's scanned quite early on so it's likely others will show up. BTW there's nothing wrong with MIDI Route, I use it all the time, but some hosts have an issue with MIDI plugins that show up as audio fx. Just to say I'm getting the same crash as other folks with Viktor Poof's MIDI Route (from the MID Tools suite).
