EMU Crashing when running MIDI Logic Pro

Hi, I’m having an issue. EMU works fine stand alone and I’m able to basically “play” programs via a midi keyboard. The problem is when I try to run automated midi note triggering through Logic Pro X, EMU locks up and crashes. Yes I have the latest version of EMU Also I saw in another thread there’s an AUv2 for the plug in? I only got a VST3 with my download. Please help I really need this to work or might as well throw out the lights I got specifically to work with this set up.

1 person has this problem

I keep seeing that there is an AU available yet every time I download for MAC specifically all I get is the VST. Where and what is the link to get this AU? Cause that’s probably half the problem right there.

All the plugins are in the installer. Put them into correspondent folders (see the attached picture) and you're good to go. 

Updated, installed component and VST as directed. EMU Still crashes when hitting play and MIDI track begins. Now what?

Robbie, could you please make a video with the reproducing steps, so that it would be visible what exactly you do and how it crashes?

Folks, while video with the issue is not ready, try to change 'Midi provider' option in the Settings to 'RtMIDI'. And restart EMU please. This might help. By default it is DryWetMIDI.

Same behavior with the RtMIDI.

Hi Andrei, 


In the current version that I have downloaded (the previous beta you posted), I can turn on/off lights, but no quicker than about 2 seconds. 


Also, perhaps I'm responding too quickly, but I'm trying to download the new beta you just posted and Onedrive is stating that the item does not exist. I'll check back in a little bit to see if it just needs time to upload. 

It is sad that the RtMIDI hasn't worked out...


Christopher, Robbie, if the attachment is too big - please use video hosts or other file exchange servers to share the video with the reproduction steps.

Folks, appealing to you with another try to resolve this issue. 

Please, try the new Beta 23.2.1.12 version (with DryWetMIDI service) you can download it from the EMU itself or from this link: https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enttec-software-builds/emu/EMU-Beta.pkg 


If it doesn’t work we can schedule a video call if you ok with it - I want to see and shoot what exactly are you doing to get the crash.

Here is a link to a video showing the behavior we are seeing.


This shows the behavior we are seeing when sending a midi note to emu from Logic Pro.

Here is video of what’s happens to mine https://we.tl/t-1PUAzZL546

Thanks guys, now we have small clue on the issue and already working on alfa version to provide it for you to verify (shortly we'll send it to you).


Christopher, Robbie, at the same time could you please also share your shows from EMU and from Logic? We'd like to reproduce the issue on our side - that could identify the issue more accurate and faster.

Hello, I just ordered lights for my band, and a DMX USB Pro, and signed up for the EMU subscription. I'm having the exact same issue that is being reported here with Logic. This is a pretty big letdown. Any assistance with getting this up and running quickly and reliably would be greatly appreciated. I see setting up a call as an option mentioned before. I'm happy to hop on a call to see if this can help troubleshoot if needed. Also, I saw a Durham NC address listed on your site, I am not far from there. Happy to meet with someone in person if this is where your technical people are located and that would be helpful. 

Hi again, after some more messing around with this, I've found a "work around". This is very far from ideal, but I'm hoping it will lead to someone being able to fix this. 


Logic will send midi to EMU without crashing IF the midi editor is not open when you hit play. Also, if you put too many changes in too short of a time, or make the midi notes too long (they dont have to be very long to be too long), EMU crashes. So basically, it seems like EMU is getting very easily overwhelmed with how much midi data it's receiving from Logic. 

Hi Andrei, 


Thank you for the info, I will try this new update tomorrow! However, I'm currently testing an extremely simple show that just turns a light on/off and changes it's color. I can't speak for the others having this issue, but this is a very simple test show I'm experimenting with. I'll respond tomorrow with if the new update is working smoother. 


Thank you for continuing to work to resolve this!
