EzDrummer 2 + RME HDSPe Madi FX crash

[Alan Igneous]

HI Toontrack

I’m using EzDrummer 2 (stand-alone mode) in conjuction with RME HDSPe Madi FX.

When I select “Out Channels” in the “Audio Midi Setup” dialog box to “phones L + R (195 + 196)
EzDrummer 2 crash badly when I “Apply” the settings.

RME HDSPe Madi FX has a very large number of channels & it’s looks like it could be a buffer overrun
happening within Ezdrummer 2 (guessing) …

Very nasty crash.

Could you please verify and rectify

Sincerely
Robert

OS == Win 7 Pro x 64
RAM == 32 GIG
OS installed on SSD drive
EzDrummer 2 installed on 2nd SSD drive
RME HDSPe Madi FX is installed internally and solid as rock.

By the way, EzDrummer 2 is working fine in Cubase 7.5 as a VST plugin in conjunction with Madi FX – perfectly.
Problem ONLY occurs using ExDrummer in stand-alone mode – setting the output channels as indication in my original post.

Hope this helps

PS I just figured out I can get around the problem easy enough by selecting a low numbered audio output channel
(in stand-alone mode) & route the software audio output wherever I like using RME Total Mix FX.

Therefore, it’s no longer a “show stopper” …
Nevertheless, using a high numbered output (i.e. phones) in stand-alone “out channel” does cause EzDrummer 2 to crash …

Has anyone at Toontrack been able to verify this problem yet?

Is anyone looking into this issue of EzDrummer 2 crashing as described in my original post?

Hi,

did you update to version 2.1.1?
If you select ‘Check for updates’ in the Menu, are you prompted to update anything? If so, please do.

I’ve updated to version 2.1.1 but the original problem of Ezdrummer 2 crashing when I select “phones 1 + 2” using
my RME Madi FX card as audio output still persists.

Hello again,

It has been over 9 months since I reported this problem and I wondering if this bug in EzDrummer is going to be fixed soon?

Extra info:
1. The channels 1-32 work. Above that EzDrummer crashes.
2. Each time I instantiate EzDrummer stand-alone, the audio signal is present on channels 1 & 2 in addition to the assigned “Output (L)1
& Output (R)2 channels. NB “multi-0ut” is unchecked. If I reassign “Output (L)1 & Output (R)2 channels then the erroneous signal is removed channels 1 & 2.

Here is version information as reported in the “about box”:
:
EZdrummer plug-in version 2.1.1 (build 10513) [64-bit VST]
Standalone host version 2.1.1 (build 10513)

SOUND LIBRARIES
EZdrummer 2 Modern version 1.0.2
EZdrummer 2 Vintage version 1.0.2
Jazz version 1.5.1

EZdrummer 2 Modern/Vintage version 1.0.0
