To support: Eventide plugins starts by an invalid argument!

Hello!

Using SF pro 11 (32) with vst 2 (32) and SF pro 12 (64) (build 24) vst 2 (64), as soon as I open an Eventide plugin and touch one plugin's key I got the following error message:

"An error occured while loading a plug-in. An invalid argument was specified." Then I press OK and everything goes well.

Concerned:
2016 stereo room 3.0.4
UltraChannel 3.0.4
UltraReverb 3.0.4
UltraTap 2.0.4

My 2 cents!

I had the same thing (error) happening here - when the two or three of my entire Eventide Anthology XI plugin collection actually showed up as scanned and available.

Now I don't have any Eventide plugins showing up, and I am missing many other well known plugins that won't scan into Sound Forge 12 Pro.

I have had every single plugin that I own scanned/available/working in: Acid Pro 8, Cubase Pro 9.5, Reason 10, Studio One Pro 3.5, Cakewalk by Bandlab, Reaper, Wavelab LE 9.5, Peavey Revalver 4, Akai VIP, Akai MPC Essentials, and Jam Origin Midi Guitar 2.

I have a support ticket open, but I am waiting to hear of a course of action to try for fixing this issue.

This problem has messed with my Acid Pro 8 installation (VSTs) as well, I had installed Sound Forge Pro 12 after Acid was up and running. I had to do quite a bit of trickery to get my Acid installation back in order (I hope).

Originally, I couldn't even get Sound Forge 12 to open the 1st time after installation. It kept getting stuck on scanning certain plugins. I had to control alt delete to force shut down of Sound Forge, and then keep deleting each plugin I saw that it froze up on.

After the scanning was finally complete, (after deleting all the plugins it did not like -one by one), I was able to add those plugins back into their folders and not have Sound Forge scan again on opening. Very tedious.

The problem keeps coming back, - every time that I install a brand new plugin, it will scan all over again. I have a list of all the plugins I need to temporarily delete, so that I can expedite the process.

I do hope that the engineers at Magix can overhaul the plug-in scanner in SF 12. The Acid Pro 8 scanner works perfectly fine, if they could just make it work like that, (along with full plugin type compatibility) I think we would be good. Extra search folder slots, and one at a time folder scanning would be a plus.

For the moment, I am able to use Sound Forge Pro 12, although without many of the very plugins that I would have used within it.

 

If I can"t find a solution to this problem, I will be forced to uninstall it and admit to having pretty much thrown away my money on this - until there is an improvement in VST plugin compatibility and scanning.
