VST crashing in Maschine 2 on some multi-bus configurations

Audio Plugins
1 
Hi,

If I modify the MultiOutSynth example to have 1 main output and 1 mono aux bus:

MultiOutSynth()
    : AudioProcessor (BusesProperties()
                      .withOutput ("Output",  AudioChannelSet::stereo(), true)
                      .withOutput ("Aux",  AudioChannelSet::mono(), false)
                     )

Then the resulting VST2 plugin will crash in Maschine when loaded – the crash happens on a null pointer dereference for the third channel in internalProcessReplacing :
FloatVectorOperations::clear (chan, numSamples);
with ‘chan’ being 0 for the last channel.

If seems to be caused by the odd number of channels, if I replace the mono bus by a stereo bus, the crash is gone. I’m not sure if it is an issue in the juce vst wrapper or an issue in maschine, though.

Hi @jpo,

Can you test this again (I don’t have Maschine 2) with the latest fix on develop?

Thanks!

Hi Fabian,

It is still crashing, now at line 496:

adding an 'if (outputs[i]) inside the
if (const FloatType* const chan = tmpBuffers.tempChannels.getUnchecked(i))

Seems to solve that, and then everything seems to work !

OK, I’ve added this to develop. Thank you for reporting.
