I originally got installers from when I bought VAZ Modular in 2008. I saved it on a backup drive that got misplaced. Up until a few years ago I was able to download from the Wayback Machine but not seeing it there anymore. Mostly on Mac these days but I would like to locate my saved installers sometime.Thanks to you both. I just saw your replies, otherwise I'd have followed up much sooner:In my uses cases so far, the error happens without any VST plugins just as often as with them, and also regardless of which other apps are visibly (*) running or if VAZ is the only one. I never used VST plugins inside VAZ Modular until a year ago, while the Access Violation errors started in 2013.I would start with a blank bank and add things back in until it starts happening again. My gut says it might be multiple apps trying to access your audio drivers at the same time. So try only having vaz open. My second guess would be a vst plugin or insert. It’s normally stable for me. If it is a vst you might be able to solve it with a wrapper like xlutop chainer or similar.
As for wrapper plugins, using Blue Cat Patchwork (full version) or the trials of other Blue Cat stuff and DDMF Superplugin doesn't seem to change anything about the error. Have yet to try xlutop chainer, downloading it now.
(*) As for background apps, I'm currently investigating with an AI assistant whether any of these might be related to the errors since modern laptops have a lot of stuff on them that looks mostly opaque to me, especially OEM, but I haven't found anything relevant yet.Mine, too. And interestingly, I've used the same three laptop brands to run VAZ (after using various towers in the 2000s). I'll dive into my archives to retrace when I had which versions installed on which PC to see if we can find any specific commonalities. For now:I recently installed VAZ Modular (the last production 3.2.4 or .5) on an HP Windows 10 laptop. I've seen more of those error messages on the HP than on an Acer laptop (W10) or ancient HP/Dell desktops running XP back in the day. Will play with it a bit more and see if anything reduces it.
After all these years VAZ is still my favorite software modular!![:party:]( "Party!")
Do you remember where you got your v3 installer(s) from?
And do you recall if you ever loaded files into v3 that had been created in v2.54 or earlier versions?
I did download all the V1/V2 preset banks and never had issues loading those. IIRC it was also possible to open VAZ 2010/+ files in Modular as well.
