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.

CHRIS AND ROBBIE, 


I HAVE UPLOADED A VIDEO TO THE DROPBOX LINK THAT I SENT BEFORE SHOWING EVERYTHING I HAVE GOING ON IN LOGIC AND EMU. CHECK THERE. IT WILL PROBABLY TAKE A LITTLE BIT TO UPLOAD, SO IF YOU DON'T SEE IT, CHECK BACK IN A LITTLE BIT. Sorry for caps locks, I started typing without looking at the screen.

Hello Gentlemen,


Blake, indeed you're exactly right, we found from the customer's log that there are more than 600K requests per second to EMU. And those requests are not for faders, but for changing banks/programs. That is way too much. You should guys optimize your shows. And at the same time we've made alpha version with the protection, so that EMU shouldn't stuck anymore. Please try it and reply with the results (if something is bad - log file is required).

Hey Blake, Could you possibly post here in text/photo form your procedure for set up and settings inside EMU so we can see and possibly mimic what you’ve done and see if it works? I’m not getting crashes of EMU anymore but the MIDI triggers are like whole minutes behind making everything just unusable for me. Any help is greatly appreciated

Sure thing. Here’s a Dropbox folder of photos of the settings I have. Some of the files may still be uploading. Just to reiterate my last comment though, I did nothing but 1. Delete the test version of emu 2. Went and deleted the plugins from their places in the library (I doubt this had any effect) 3. Install the publicly available main version of emu from the website, and now it works exactly as I had expected it to work. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/af99ql2aomfsz93/AAD3-CLs93M3DMg11JddTKfea?dl=0

Hi Chris, and Robbie,


In a little bit, I'll take a full video detailing exactly what I'm doing, and all of the settings I've got going on and post it here.

Thank you Blake, that solved it for us. Andrei, to avoid this in the future maybe there should be a FAQ for Logic users? Not my call, just a suggestion. Also, Blake definitely deserves a medal. LoL

Guys, finally I figured it out, where we get "Midi output port". Now I am on the same page with you :)


Main thing is to add a new external midi track, but not the one which is given in from the start of the project.

New beta 23.1.24.10 has some improvements for MIDI notes & updated AU & VST plugins. It can help with the issue. Please, provide recorded footage with video & logs with the issue if this beta doesn’t work for you.

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?
