after clicking the view plugin button, i get the spinning beach ball of death. This happened when running the VST for Novation V-synth on OSX 10.68
loading Cakewalk's Rapture.vst, there's no audio. clicking the pulldown box, there's no presets, just a gray box that pops up. clicking View Plugin doesn't freeze but it opens a Rapture OSX window that stays blank, not displaying the plugin.
Free Alpha.vst plays fine, but the pulldown shows sounds but won't actually select them unless you first click the view plugin window to bring the interface up.
contact me directly if you'd like to troubleshoot this. i have a huge collection of synths and virtual synths.
Thanks for the detailed feedback - I'm dependent on Cycling 74's VST/AU implementation, and this sounds like some incompatibilities between those plugins and Cycling's infrastructure. I'll contact you directly to get a few more details that I can use to report to Cycling.
