This time we release version 1.1.51 and you can download it here . You also can find a Version History there. If you found new bugs or bugs which are not fixed, please create a new thread and title it with [1.1.51].
oh, I am sorry. Do you have installed “HALion Sonic SE” from the “Steinberg Download Assistant”. Please install it. If not, please check if the following file is available:
I am sorry. We already have fixed it. But can you also please share the
/Users/your_username/Documents/VSTLive/templates/vlLayerTemplate.vllayer
file with us?
And please install the free “HALion Sonic SE” Instrument from the Steinberg Download Assistant. You can find in in the VST LIve category.
1.1.51 Pre-Release runs on my system!
Lenovo ThinkPad P15s Gen2i, 11th Gen Intel(R) Core™ i7-1165G7 @ 2.80GHz 2.80 GHz, 48 GB RAM, Windows 11 Pro, V22H2 and I also have installed Cubase 11 Pro, WaveLab 11 Pro, Spectra Layers 9, Dorico 4.3.201130 and a lot of VST-Plugins. I can work with my projects.
It is pre-installed with VST Live, and the initial default Layer refers to it, so that new users hear something and have a powerful sampler/synth right at hand. It should certainly run without it, but given that it doesn’t require many resources, it is probably safer to have it, as the app may expect it (even if it shouldn’t). You can save a default Layer with your favourite instrument, so it shouldn’t get in the way. Just an advice, not a prerequisite.
… yes, VL should be able to run without its default Instrument HALion Sonic SE. And you, @AntonVorozhtsov, run into crash when HSSE is not available. Thank you very much for pointing that one to us. We have fixed it not and a default VL installation without HSSE will work. But please install HSSE to get VL up and running now. Okay?
… I am not sure if that version is enough. Let me verify it. Could you please give me two files :
A : /Users/your_username/Documents/VSTLive/templates/vlLayerTemplate.vllayer
B (windows) : C:\Users\Your_Username\AppData\Roaming\Steinberg\VST Live_64/Vst3Plugins.xml
B (mac) : /Users/your_username/Library/Application Support/Steinberg/VST Live/Vst3Plugins.xml
can you please start the “Steinberg Download Assistant”, select the “VST Live” category and install the “HALion Sonic SE 3.5.10 - Instrument”? Can you now start VST Live?
I had the same crash referenced above. One interesting thing is that I have a full HALion Sonic 7.0.0 license. Installing just this did not fix the crash. I’ve since installed HALion Sonic SE 3.5.10 and VSTLive not starts correctly. I’ve attached a copy of my vlLayerTemplate.vllayer file as well as the dump from the crash. Hope this helps.
