VDMX Beta 8.7.2.7 now ready for testing!

III’ve been using VDMX for over 15yrs and from
My experience. Any of the crashes that happen are usually due to something in my project.

  • bad media (including quartz, isf sources)
  • bad / broken Revievers / Senders
  • bad / broken Plug-ins
    (Have a look a this post where I walk
    Thru finding out how to find trouble plugins)
    Plugin Debugging

-The VDMX logs can help possibly point to what’s happening.

  • the VDMX Menu Show Data Connections. An helpi

I’ve found that I’ve need to save my project as a copy in a “Debug Folder” somewhere.

  • have a look at the logs

  • if it seems like media issues start removing media or pages… save as don’t update preset and see happens.

  • or if it’s plugins start slowly removing them (or
    As show with my Debug Plugin Loggee, moving them)

I was having an issue with a project with 9 LFOs
That when the project loaded their time
Was not connecting to the clock plug in BPM.
It was showing Seconds not measures.
Also in the Data Connections menu. The Clock was showing Time and Bpm had connections
To it but showed ??? Beside them.

After trying a bunch of things (and looking at he Log, which was showing errors about none existent menus). I realized I had renamed my clock plugin to “S-Clock” and it was loading after my “LFO ***” plugins. As soon as I renamed my Clock plug in so that alphabetically it came before anything that needed it. It solved many problems.
