Pardon my copy/paste of my post from the Energy XT forum, but can anyone confirm this :

Topic: BUG : "Group Clear error"

Using EXT VST 1.24 from 28/02 in Live 3.0.2 on win2000.

Made a little testsetup using the sequencer and TobyBear Borderliner VSTI which worked fine I could sequence the vsti within Live [ though not in sync but that is a known issue - see a few posts below ]

For some reason now in my manipulation of the sequencer, EXT VST crashed and Live crashed along.

Restarted Live , inserted EXT VST, made the exact same setup as at first, but now the sequencer gets stuck on the very first note in the sequencer [ gets stuck at bar 1 is first note is there , bar 2 if first note is on bar 2 ... where ever ] .

I close EXT VST and want to delete it : not possible, I get popup with "Group Clear Error" ... can't close popup, Live is frozen and neet to quit through taskmanager ...

How many times I rstarted Live and EXTVST in this setup, this always happened over and over again ...

Have done further testing ... this strangely enough happens alone on track 1 from Live ... inserting it on track 2-8 gives no problem ...

I'll report this as well to Ableton .

Can anyone confirm this behaviour here ... :
-1-
Insert EXT VST on track 1 in Live 3.0.2
-2-
Make simple setup with sequencer -> master out
-3-
Insert VSTI and create sequence
-4-
play sequence
-5-
Observation : Sequencer gets stuck on first note
-6-
Close GUI EXT
-7-
Try to delete EXT VST

... but I've been testing further right now and apparently it's specific to Tobybear Borderliner VSTI. Everything that's a few steps above the "8" line in the sequencer module crashes E XT standalone or E XT VST + Host

I had chosen this one at random to test with this result ...

I've now tested a few random other vsti's where there are no problems.

Sorry to have bothered you ...
