Anyone else here experiencing mute/noise-timebombs in Pulsar Modular releases (especially by moria from the sister site)?
To be precise, if plugins are added on a fresh track, they also ask for activation.
Noise is applied when opening recent projects with PM plugins already in usage.
This happens offline.
The AU plugins worked flawlessly until 4-5 weeks after installation.
I already tried reinstalling after removing all related files from the system, also with older releases. Still the same.
Has anyone solved the issue?
Thanks.

Logic Pro 11.2.2 macOS Tahoe

 

Which plugins? What firewall do you have them blocked with? Do you have Pulsar Modular website domain blocked either via hosts or by firewall? Which one...

 

Thanks for your reply. These Plugins seem to inflect each other with the timebomb:

P821 MDN Tape,
Q Sahara
P11 Abyss
P19 Igloo
P42 Climax
P44 Magnum
P422 Fairuz v1.6.4
P440 Sweet Spot
P450 MDN EQ
P455 MDN Sidecar

Blocked all in & outgoing traffic via LittleSnitch

 

zero issue with that. VST3, Ableton, Sequoia 15.3

 

Glad to hear. Let's see if someone else had the same issue (and could solve it maybe?)

 

do you have bluecat patchwork or ddmf superplugin? can you try hosting the vst3 inside?

 

well the OP specified Mac and since sequoia is pc only its kinda obsolete to mention...

 

I can say I don't have a single issue in logic nor Nuendo on neither of my Macs, m3 ultra and m4 max both on tahoe... not a single issue with any pulsar modular plugin including the new p410.and yes I use little snitch to block both apps

 

I think this is your problem: Logic Pro 11.2.2 macOS Tahoe

Moria has released these plugins so many times, it's very unlikely any mistake was made. But if they are not tested on Tahoe, then who knows wether the patcher Moria is probably using is going to [k] them correctly.

This is what happens when you want to update stuff more than you want to make music using your already working perfect system.

Logic is fine. MacOS Tahoe is an update you should have waited on.

Sequoia is the Mac OS version i am running....

 

i'd probably just use Wide Blue Audio Plugin uninstaller to remove them all. Then use Find Any File to make sure you have found all the Pulsar Modular related files. Be Careful you do not wipe out anything from just Pulsar Audio. Then reinstall each Pulsar Modular plugin again and test them one by one, or at least the ones you consider important or not easily replaced by other plugins you already have. Or install only what you need to open active projects you are working on right then when you go to load the project. Not just something "you haven't finished yet".

Most of them are easily replaced anyway. They are good plugins but they are nothing you probably don't already have better ones to replace them with. Easily.

 

wrong, ive been on tahoe for 4 months... I was a beta tester. and clearly I posted the same.. m3 ultra Mac Studio and m4 max mbp.. I don't have a single issue so the issue isn't tahoe... now ive had this happen with other plugins before b/c the plugin called home and little snitch wasn't installed.

 

I apologize, I read it wrong. I was under the impression you were using sequoia the DAW...reading to fast as I man I can admit I was wrong and read that wrong.. the "add" kicked in lol

 

I already tried all of this. No success. Thanks anyway.

 

same here with all pulsar audio arm logic au. lastest.. always the same they become to demo mode fast.

 

This might be the problem. After upgrading to Tahoe, Little Snitch wasn't running for some hours because of compatibility problems. In a moment of inattentiveness I opened Logic in this state. It might be that PM used this very opportunity to call home.
Little Snitch update does the job now & I also added PM entries in hosts.
Now I wonder how my machine can remember the expired-demo-mode after completely removing & reinstalling the plugins. Any clue how I can set this back?

 

True, apple is mostly permitted to call home. I'll give it a shot completely offline and do a reboot before going online again. let's see if it helps.
