Gig Performer freezing when NDSP: Gojira X rackspace is imported

Thank you all for splitting the thread and for sharing the rackspace! Much appreciated!

@npudar That harmonic breakdown is seriously good, and it’s so different from what I usually do with a guitar :sweat_smile:

Neural just announced a 50% sale site wide. Hope there are some Gig performer users who try this plugin.

This plugin sounds very interesting and it certainly deserves to be known and tried (like most NDSP plugins), however it is intended for a specific style of music and guitar playing that won’t appeal to all guitarists - like me, for example. :slightly_smiling_face:

Otherwise, I have several NDSP plugins that I really like but they tend to be generally quite resource-hungry… But they all sound so great. :+1:

Hey, this rackspace looks amazing, unfortunately Gigperformer (5.0.9) is freezing when I try to import it from: File => Import Rackspace. Is there something special to do to open it?

Ok, I figured out how to solve this issue. I edited the .rackspace file (with notepad or any text editor), at the line 64:
manufacturer=“Neural DSP” version=“1.0.1” file=“/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/Archetype Gojira X.vst3”
I replaced the file with the actual file path of the plugin on my computer, in my case it put this:
“C:/Program Files/VSTPlugIns/Archetype Gojira X.dll”

And it worked! Hope it will help…

Cheers

Interesting. The rackspace was developed on a Mac but it should not have frozen on Windows, it should have tried to find the plugin. We will look into this.

Hey @Diode
I delete and reimported the Gojira Rackspace from my set on both Windows 11 (screenshot below) and Mac and had no trouble running them.

Maybe it’s something related to the Gojira X version? I built it using Gojira X 1.0.0 and since the plugin has been updated to version 1.0.1 (X).


Yup, tried updating my installation of Gojira X and Voilà… It crashes upon importing the rackspace.

Thank you for the explanation, it is therefore related to version 1.0.1 of the plugin! I was rather suspecting a compatibility issue with Gigperformer, so I tried downgrading Gigperformer, but without success. For now, modifying the line in the file might be a working workaround. Thank you for your answers and for the amazing job!

Please report this to the developer. Also, if you have crash report please post it here

As opposed to occasional slightly incorrect functionality, every crash we have seen with a plugin over the last couple of years has been a bug in the plugin, generally because the developer made assumptions that are not actually valid.

Please post the crash report: How to post a crash log on Windows

If you don’t have one, make it :slight_smile:

I’m not able to send a crash report as described, because I don’t get the crash window. GP freezes during the importation but doesn’t crash, and I have to kill the process manually. I will create a dump of the process from the Task Manager and open an issue.

Ticket open, I’ll keep you posted

This is the best place to discuss your issue. :slight_smile:

Maybe you can upload to your GDrive account (or any other cloud provider) and share the link?

OK - can you confirm that reverting to the older version works and the newer version fails?

Yes, I confirm that

v1.0.1
Gojira X 1.0.1

v1.0.0
Gojira X 1.0.0

Then it is certainly a bug in the new update. Please reach out to the developer

Ok, some news… I reached out the support of NDSP, and they answered me:

“Please keep in mind that, unfortunately, Gig Performer is not part of our officially supported DAWs. So issues regarding compatibility and functionality might arise when using a companion software that is not officially supported.”

I kindly asked them if they could add GP as a supported software (let’s dream), and if they could help me anyway. We’ll see.

I also tried to load the 1.0.1 VST (not VST3), and it seems to work so far!!! The issue may only be for 1.0.1 VST3

Yeah, classic answer. I will reach out to them

They just answered me, maybe they will do something:
“I will forward this to our technical and development team for them to check further.”
