Lounge lizard floods undo buffer and crashes live

Post by timothyallan » Wed Mar 23, 2005 4:25 am

Hey guys,

regarding the Lounge lizard VST plugin, it apparently fires an event every time one of the little LED's flashes on the screen. This gets caught by Lives undo buffer as "Undo Tremolo Led" or something to that effect.

Anyways, the bottom line is that this happens many times every second, so you can never undo anything you actually want to undo as there is a billion other undo events you have to clear first. This clogs up the undo file till it grows to a hefty size, then the "Serious Program Error" pops up. I'm using 4.1.1.

Cheers,
Tim

Hi timothyallan,

which version of Lounge Lizard do you use?
Could you mail me a small set with the corresponding settings of Lounge Lizard so we can try to reproduce it here?

regards,
Alex

Hi timothyallan,

the latest version of Lounge Lizard is 2.0.1. Could you try it with this version?

Beside that, what exactly are the steps you do with Lounge Lizard in Live to reproduce this problem?

Alex

alright, i'll grab the new version.

As for replicating, its quite easy... all you have to do is drop the plugin onto a midi track and it starts filling the undo's up with "Undo Tremolo Led".

Hi timothyallan,

currently I just have the 2.0.1 demo version of Lounge Lizard here. With this version I can not reproduce it. So please report if you get it too with the 2.0.1 full version.

regards,
Alex

Fixed. Apparently the .0.1 revision fixed it. Nowhere on the site does it tell you that it is fixed though..

Either way, I am shamed for not having the absolute latest revision of my plugin. :)

Thanks for your help Alex!

Cheers,
Tim
