VIs - Output suddenly quits
Hi everybody, I'm having a problem lately with my VIs -- particularly Hybrid and Xpand, but it seems most prevalent in Hybrid -- where I'll be playing the keyboard controller just auditioning sounds and everything's going perfectly normal -- and then suddenly the sound is gone! No level is there on the meter, nothing. It just stops working. I'm not hearing a pop or anything when it happens, it just quits as if I turned off my controller or something.
There doesn't seem to be any problem with midi tracks already recorded, those seem to work fine. It'll only be the track I'm working with. If I replace the VI (say Hybrid) with another (Xpand) on the same track, it still doesn't work. If I delete the track and start over with a new track, it'll work for awhile and then it happens again. If I quit the session and reopen, it'll work for awhile and then stop. This is very frustrating. Any ideas? My platform stats etc. are below.

Re: VIs - Output suddenly quits
Oh, forgot to mention, this has happened now in more than one session, so I don't think it's a problem with just that one session. It seems like it must be some sort of bug either with the VIs or with my PT version. Thanks.

How is your controller connected? Do you have cables that you can swap or a different controller that you can use to compare? I have a 2x2 USB midi interface that gave me some problems when connected to a USB hub. No problems since I connected directly to my mac...

Re: VIs - Output suddenly quits
That sounds like a good possibility. I have an Oxygen 49 controller. It hooks in straight in to the Mac via USB. Very convenient. Unfortunately I don't have any replacement cables or another controller to compare. But I guess getting a new cable would be a good first step.
Kinda sucks though, because this controller is fairly new, only about a year old. Thanks.

Re: VIs - Output suddenly quits
If the problem ends up being USB related on the controller,, then you might be able to connect with just MIDI cables.. You don't say what Digi interface you have...
Hopefully its just a USB cable. Not sure how else you can test.. Anybody you can borrow a controller from?

Re: VIs - Output suddenly quits
It's an Mbox 2 Pro Factory. But I don't have any midi cables either, so either way I'm gonna have to buy a cable anyway. So hopefully it's just the USB cable.

If so, what is likely happening is that the 'connection' to the plug-in is getting broken. When this occurs, make sure in the MIDI section of the Instrument track (I'm assuming you're using Instrument tracks..) that the output is going to the correct VI and channel. |

Here's an image from PT7 (virtually the same in PT8) - see up at the top where it shows 'All' and 'Xpand 1-1'? Instrument Track |

Re: VIs - Output suddenly quits
Okay, no wonder I was sorta lost. I took a look at that picture and my instrument tracks don't look like that for some reason (7.4). That whole top area (from the "All" down to the "Mute" etc.) is missing on my Inst. tracks. Is that by chance an HD track in your picture? Or is there a button that I need to push to uncollapse the view or something?
(Incidentally I have a picture of one of my instrument tracks I could show you but I can't figure out how to attach it to my message.)
