    Recently, when saving project I’ve started getting the following error:

    Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library – Runtime error!
    Abnormal program termination.

    I suspect it might be connected to one of the samplers: DirectWave or ShortCircuit 2. Is there something that can be done aout this?

    To determine which plugin may be causing this, you could try to remove one of the two from the track, and save a copy of the project file.

    You could also try to switch off the power button in the arrangement editor, before saving. If the crash is due to unstable plugins, then doing it this way could possible avoid the crash.

    I can confirm you those errors are from DW. I also own it, and I’ve notified IL about them, they’re fixed a lot but there are yet few ones

    Ok, thanks. I’ve noticed that it happens when I use an SF2 with “total recall mode” activated in prefs. SF2 support is the only thing I bought a DW for… 😥

    Yes, I said that few weeks ago: http://forum.image-line.com/viewtopic.php?t=55023 (4th post)

    Meanwhile if you need play sf2 you can use free cakewalk SFZ

    Yes but SFZ do not work on my computer with “plugin multiprocessing” mode on and on my laptop crashes with Windows 7. SFZ is no more supported and I’m affraid that it stop working with next Windows versions. The same is with ShortCircuit wich works very, very well now. It’s no more supported. Too bad. Very nice plugin. And I decided to buy DW which is not much expensive and declare support for many samples formats include SF2.
    Now I have to come back to ShortCircuit until FL fix a bags.

    Yes, it’s a pity 🙁

    I was using DW because it was the only portable sampler (non-SE) and with sf2 support. Anyway it has few things I don’t like and I’m waiting to another good sampler (and cheap, no money). I think Fabfilter is working in one.

    Or perhaps Frits will create a Podium native SoundFont player? :):):)

    Shortcircuit shouldn’t break any time soon, it’s still the same VST format (though I suppose if everything moves to 64-bit that might be a problem).

    I believe there is a multicore-supportive SFZ if you’re interested. Pretty sure the copy I have does it. Let me know if you care enough to try it; if you don’t really want to use that plugin though, then it’s not worth trying.

    shortcircuit 2 is very buggy so could be causing something. shortcircuit 1.1.2 is the one to go for.

    Have you tried sfz+ ? It has recently been converted to freeware:

    I demo it using a soundfont in this video:

    Yes I have a freeware SFZ+ but it doesn’t work properly on any of my three computers, not only with Podium, with Traction too. It generate a dropouts and cracks on XP 32 and on Windows 7 64 bits. And it reports problems with memory. Some Podium projects I can’t even open or it starts but SFZ+ do not remember a programs I set for it. ShortCircuit works much better on my systems, very stable but most of SF2 samples need an envelop and filter setings correction. DirectWave is allover one great mistake. Lost money. It maybe works well on FL Studio but not as a VSTi. Today I have try a Samplelord, it’s quit good but there are some envelop “missinterpretation”. E-mu sampler even don’t try. It’s very expesive.

    Ok, I saw you mentioned “sfz” in a previous post, so I thought you hadn’t tried the “sfz+” plugin. These are two different plugins.
