PunchBOX sometimes not active

I have worked and produced with PunchBOX for some days now and I noticed that sometimes the plugin is not producing any sound.
Opening or clicking on the gui makes it active again.
Unfortunately this is not an issue that I can reproduce, it just happens sometimes.

I work with Windows 10 - 64 bit, Cubase 8.5 - 64 bit and PunchBOX 1.0.1

Hi teacue,

Thank you for letting us know. We were reported about similar issue by few other users and we've been investigating this problem already. Unfrotunatelly still don't know what's causing it exactly or what sequence of actions triggers it. What we know so far it's not related to specific OS or plug-in format.

Kind regards,
Sebastian

Hi Compactus,

Do you mean "reactivate" it as the license activation or not playing sound when the project is reloaded?

Cheers,
Sebastian

I can confirm what "teacue" is saying exactly also happens to me,
PunchBox lose audio/stop working.
If you open up the plugin the sound/midi signal instantly comes back...

The same syndrome on my two computers:
Nr.1 MAC OSX 10.7.5 (12 GB ram, 8 cores) Logic 9 PRO, Ableton Live v9.6.2
Nr.2 PC (i7-4770S CPU, 3.10 GHz, 16 GB ram, 8 cores), WINDOWS 10 Home, Ableton Live v9.6.2

Henrixon

Hi Sebastian,

I mean "reactivate" the sound, not the license. As other users, opening the plugin gui is needed sometimes to get it back working.

btw. I see it's not only Cubase related, Henrixon is on Ableton Live

Hi,

Thank you for clearing this up to me. Exactly, this problem concerns not only particular host or even plug-in format (we received reports of this issue happening on Pro Tools or Logic Audio as well). We're still in the middle of investigation.

Kind regards,
Sebastian

Hi guys,

I have a question to all of you experiencing this problem; is this reproducible when the PunchBox is the only plug-in in whole session?

Thanks,

Kind regards,
Sebastian

Though I would like to help you your question is quite difficult to answer because this behaviour seems to happen very randomly.
I just tried to play about 30 mn with PunchBox alone and it did not happen.
I then play further with some other plugins and it did not happen either.

What I can say is that I am almost 99% sure that it occurred with other plugins, because I noticed this behaviour as I was producing some songs and I did use several other plugins.
I also can say that I am almost 99% sure that it did not happen as I tested PunchBox alone, but I did not test the plug alone a very long time!

Best regards

Hi,
I've tested PunchBox with Reaper today without any other plugins in the session
and it became silent after about 30 min...

Hi Henrixon,

Do you use demo version or fully activated license?

Kind regards,
Sebastian

Hi
I'm using the fully activated license with the latest version of REAPER.
