Gig performer cuts off all audio output from all plugins when the app is first opened. It works for a few minutes and then audio is lost. Once I close the app restart the computer then it works fine for a while. But it happens again.
Did not have any issues with Gigperformer until updating Mac OS to Sequoia 15.4
I am using Dante Sound card and I pretty sure it is not the sound card because I am running Ableton on the same computer with no issues.
Please advise.
Hmm, doesn’t really mean anything – different applications can use different functionality of sound cards. Are you running the Dante Virtual Sound card or do you have physical hardware?
There are a lot of issues with Sequoia in general — particularly related to privacy and security.
That said, while we have tested GP itself on 15.4 and it works fine, we can’t say the same for other drivers. Gig Performer itself uses only the standard OS APIs to communicate with audio interfaces, etc.
Have you tried running GP with just a single (known to be reliable) plugin to see if audio continues?
I was only speculating on the Interface because of the audio cut off. But to answer your questions, I am running Dante Virtual Sound Card installed on our M32 board. I did try to run it on a physical Audio Interface [Focusrite Scarlett 18i20] and faced the same issue.
Wierd - I’ve had no issues with GP until this update.
Could it be a license issue?
Shot in the dark but doesn’t GP pause audio if it’s in demo mode?
Usually after an OS update on my Mac I need to re enter my GP license info.
My other question was:
Have you tried running GP with just a single (known to be reliable) plugin to see if audio continues?
It wouldn’t surprise me if one of your plugins doesn’t work properly with 15.4 and is screwing up everything
I can try that but it seems that Keyscape is the culprit.

Not a license issue.
So if you remove Keyscape then everything works properly?
I will try it and see it what happens
Well, why did you think Keyscape was the culprit?
I took a while to respond because I wanted to update all plugins and update to the latest Sequoia 15.4.1 and observe it for a few weeks.
Here is the latest: upon loading GP all plugins works just fine. Minutes later, no Audio on all plugins in the global workspace. I quit GP and reload it and no issues. until I use it again the next day. I am still in the same boat. please advise.
Can you revert to an older version? Sequoia seems to have many issues — and while Gig Performer seems to run fine on it, we are hearing about issues with drivers and plugins.
Heck, Apple even broke the ability to define your own solid color wallpaper in 15.4.1
What does that last bit mean David? I have a custom colour on mine.

I got bitten by this on three different computers

Hmm, maybe I dont understand the issue. I went to the Wallpaper section on my MacBooks, clicked on the + in the solid colour section and when I move around the colour wheel my desktop changes to that colour. Im on 15.4.1
Dunno what the circumstances are but many have been reporting it
Staying on 10.6 “for life”. If possible, never update Mac osx.
As David Jameson would say… If it works, don’t change anything
Yep, I’m on 10.14, staying there

I am not able to revert back to an older version. But the behavior seems to not exist when using GP with my Roland RD 700 NS keyboard. It looks like it happens when using the Arturia 88 Keys MK3.
