Lancaster ODR-1 sim crashes Cantabile (and everything else)

Hi all!

I have just purchased the Lancaster ODR-1 pedal simulation.

The plugin is recognized and loaded in all the DAWs I usually use, including Cantabile (the others are Nembrini Nexus and Cakewalk by Bandlab).

When I open the plugin GUI, I am asked to activate it by entering the serial number (which I received via email). Well, I enter the SN and as soon as I click the “Activate” button the whole DAW crashes. This happens with all of the mentioned DAWs.

I have had a look at Cantabile’s log, but it seems that it is missing the final section (maybe it was not closed correctly).

I know there are a few guitar players here…have you ever used this plugin or heard about it? I have searched the net but I have not found anyone having the same problem (at least on windows…I have found a youtube comment saying that it does not work in Logic and that Lancaster does not answer emails…we will see, I have just written to them!). Any idea about how to debug the crash?

TIA for any hint,

Gabriel

P.S. The crash happens also if I enter random letters instead of the correct key. If I enter an empty string I get an “Invalid serial number” message but no crash.

Replying to myself just to insert here a stack trace of the crash, obtained using vsthost

Maybe @brad could have a look at what’s happening. My hope is that if I get through the activation procedure, then the plugin will start working.
