Oooh, awesome. Going to fire it up now. Have you played with the Windows VST yet?
I also really enjoy the "alternate" waveforms included with Live 5 and Operator. |

Any specific conditions that cause Live to crash?
I just tested it with Live 5.2 and Logic Pro 7.2 without incident. Also running 10.4.7.
(in the hopes of getting the party re-started) |

not sure. but i've had to restart Ableton several times.
All i did was open a MIDI track and drop in the plug-in and record/loop a few simple chords like i always do. and then while it was looping i tried to throw in a reverb on the insert return, and it crashed.
i wasn't running any other apps besides Ableton and Mozilla Firefox. also i use a PreSonus Firepod and Digidesign MBOX2. |

| Hmmm ... odd. I just tried repeating your steps and can't cause the same problem. Define "a reverb." (I tried Live's reverb.) |

yes that is correct, Live's Reverb or any other it doesn't seem to matter. i used Audio Damage's Deverb. it seems to happen just as the loop is playing and i hit alt+apple+T to add and insert return, and then it crashes. i can reproduce the same result over and over again at will.
i can send you a problem report(the ones you send to apple after an app crashes) if that helps. |

Hmmm, tried that, too. Still nothing. Must be some other variable here.
You know, I've had other effects sometimes cause problems, implicating the wrong plug-in. (The broken plug-in turned out not to be the one I thought was broken, in other words.) Other than that, though, no clue; too many potential variables. |

| I experienced a severe crash on my similarly-spec'd G4 Powerbook, but I was running Logic Express. Built-in audio, Caps Lock keyboard, no other plugins, just Logic Express with the one plug-in. I tried to change the last slider while sound was still going and the CPU ground to a halt. It took several restarts to get it working properly again and I promptly deleted the plug-in upon restart. It sounded good for the 10 minutes I played with it, but it's not worth huge crashes. |

Yes, in order to run a plug-in on an Intel Mac, you need a Universal-native version of the plug-in. The only way to run a PowerPC-native plug-in is with a PowerPC-native host. So you might want to keep an old version of Ableton Live or something around, just in case. It'll slow down performance, but it will run -- I was surprised for the brief period I did have an Intel Mac that I could make stuff run, just more like an old PowerBook G4.
As for these crashes, I'm totally befuddled. I really haven't had any issues, and I've tried this in every app I can think of. Must be missing something. (I believe you, of course ... let's see how long it takes for me to suffer the same problems.) |

for some reason my copy of Magical 8bit has never shown me the 25% pulse option or the frequency sweep switch. I do have the newest AU from the site, loaded in Logic Express 7.1.2... anybody know whats up?
thanks... |

| Hey ekd -- sorry, no idea what might be causing that. Seems to work for me, though I think I tested with Live + Logic Pro. (Logic Pro should be the same as Express, though, so either something weird is happening or I wasn't paying attention ... or both.) |
