I’m experiencing some strange behaviour of Cabbage instruments (VST3i) in Reaper (at first my own, but I have tried some example csd files as well).
I have a VST3i in the plug-ins folder, I change the corresponding csd file, re-load the VST3i in Reaper, all fine. I then save Reaper file without any changes to the instrument parameters (no touching of widgets), but when I reload Reaper and try to play the instrument, there is a “good chance” the instrument wont play, Csound crashing, and the only way to resurrect the instrument is to load it again (with a new instance). Or, if I close and reopen Reaper, there is a “good chance” it will work again. The “good chance” means 1/5 or so. It seems that if I have Cabbage open, the chance for issues is higher. Sometimes, Reaper won’t start (or it takes very long time). In connection with these Reaper/VSTi quirks I sometimes experienced that the audio won’t come out of the laptop speakers even though the sound level in Reaper was indicating that there was output. Similar for other sound sources. Restart computer needed.
I’m using Macbook Pro M1 with MacOS 12.6.1, Csound 6.18 and Cabbage 2.9.153, Reaper 7.11.
Maybe someone has some ideas what could be happening?
Any suggestions what I should try to find the causes and eliminate this issues?
