New BETA2 version (3.0.36) is up!

BETA TESTING
1

New very minor update 3.0.36 (second beta version) is available to download at the same download link from the BETA invitation email. No need to download if you don’t have major issues.

3.0.36. Changelist:

  • Fixed a potential hazard when scanning for audio plugins at startup, that might lead to (mostly) black screens and crashes at startup or closedown. It could also be the cause of failed plugin validation in DAWs.

  • Improved licensing situation - This will only go into effect after a server restart tonight.

3

3.0.36 is still hanging and then failing validation in both MOTU Digital Performer and Deskew Gig Performer (which is where I need it most!), both AU and VST3 versions.

Thank you for feedback. Can I get you to try to open Terminal and type the following to validate the AudioUnit:
auval -t aumf JamO MG30

5

Here you go. I forgot to mention, I got the same hang/failure results on both my machines, a 2015 iMac and a 2021 MBP M1 Pro.

Here’s the result of the Apple AU check on the iMac:

It looks like it passes all tests… no failures.

Testing on macOS 14.3.1; M1 MacBook Air

I tried updating to version 3.0.36 and executed the terminal command: auval -t aumf JamO MG30 …It appears to have passed in the terminal window but causes Logic (10.8.1) to freeze when loading/starting its Audio Unit scan.

So, I aborted the scan. In Logic’s plugin manager, MIDI Guitar 3 shows as “not validated due to an internal error” and any attempt to rescan results in a hang (spinning rainbow wheel) and what look like an incomplete scan result. Have to force quit Logic at this point. Same in Mainstage 3.

9

Same on my side, version 3.0.36 has the same behavior as the previous version.
The AU plugin control command “auval” gives a pass result.
Still impossible to properly exit the MG3 application which causes CPU access to 98% (MacbookPro M1-Pro).
Is there a way to deactivate the scanning of external plugins by MG3 if that is the problem?

Hi. New B here and not sure if this is the right thread. I just received the email to beta test Midi Guitar 3 and I would love to take part. Cheers. Zander

After installing the new beta version I first tried the standalone version and now I received the email with the license correctly. By the way, where do you check that the application is authorized correctly? Because after entering the code you don’t know how to exit and the application crashes! As for the plugin in Logic Pro (10.8.1) it is stuck at “Scanning Audio Units (finalized 0 of 1031)” and nothing happens. However Logic Pro is not blocked (see jpg)!! I click on Abort and the application continues to work correctly. So I open the “Plug in Manager” of Logic Pro and like others it appears: “not validated due to an internal error” (see jpg). Then I typed the command: “auval -t aumf JamO MG30” and all the tests say: PASS - AU VALIDATION SUCCEEDED. !! So I restarted Logic Pro again but it’s still stuck on “Scanning Audio Units (finalized 0 of 1031)” and nothing happens!

Thanks for feedback. This is most likely related to the “black screen” bug, which isn’t really about a black screen and causes havoc, and especially hitting people with lots of audio plugins.

Update later today.

13

Interesting information: If I rename the plugins directory (/Library/Audio/Plug-ins to /Library/Audio/Plug-ins-Sav) the MG3 application opens correctly!
No problem either when releasing the software.

14

Thanks for your reply !

15

I’ve found !
The problem, on my side, came from the Native-Instrument plugin: “Enhanced EQ.component”. I just remove it.
Now the GM3 application launches correctly.
Gig performer plugin scanning gives a pass status to MG3 au and vst3.

Ah, I just found the same but posted in a different thread…well done us :slight_smile:

Great detective work! An update is coming with an hour or two.
