New "Expression Maps" Freeze Cubase 15 Pro after Closing Project

When I use Expression Map (Art Conductor 26 by Babylonwaves) with SINE Player v1.4.0, Cubase v15.0.30 regularly freezes when closing the project (discharging tracks).

The only solution is to end and restart the Cubase task.

If I freeze the affected tracks, this doesn’t happen.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi,

Generate a DMP file and share it via Dropbox or a similar service, please.

As you are on Windows, once Cubase freezes, open the Task Manager, right-click on Cubase and generate the DMP file.

Or…

Use the Microsoft ProcDump utility to generate a DMP file, please.

  1. Please download ProcDump64 from Microsoft (~650kB) and extract the archive to a local folder on your hard disk.

  2. Run Command Prompt (cmd) as administrator (right click and select “run as administrator”)

  3. Navigate (in the Command Prompt) to the folder with the extracted procdump file.
    For example:
    cd C:\ Users \ \ Downloads \ Procdump
    Note: the dmp file will be written into that folder.

  4. Launch Cubase/Nuendo. You can work as usual. At any time, change to the command prompt and start procdump, to monitor Cubase/Nuendo for unexpected behaviour (see next step).

  5. Launch procdump64 via Command Prompt:
    Cubase:
    procdump64 -e -h -t Cubase

Nuendo:
procdump64 -e -h -t Nuendo

The -h option will write a dmp file in case of an application hang. This might kick in too early sometimes, in case some action takes a little longer. Feel free to skip the “-h” option, if you are only up for fetching crashes.
The option -e will catch exceptions and the option -t terminations of the application.

  1. Prodump is now monitoring the Cubase/Nuendo process and will write a crash log, in case Cubase/Nuendo crashes or hangs. Perform the action that causes Cubase/Nuendo to crash and send us the generated crash dmp.

ZIP and share the DMP file via Dropbox or a similar service, please.

I saw this reported on another forum as an issue with SINE player 1.4.0 and 1.4.1. Expression maps weren’t mentioned.

Thank You very much for reply. I use a “MAC Studio M2 Ultra, Sonoma 14.x” since a view months after over 30 Windows-years :wink:

Thank you for pointing out that version 1.4.1 already exists. Oddly enough, I didn’t receive a newsletter about it from Orchestral Tools. With this version 1.4.1, the problem no longer seems to occur. I’m monitoring the issue in other projects.
