I have not heard about any official changes in MackiePlugin during last several years. May be in some package (like in my link) they have compiled it with another Microsoft runtime, but I have not checked that.
If Sonar does not recognize Mackie on MIDI level, plug-in will not help. It works on top of this level. And even Sonar is wrong place to look, check MIDI devices in Windows, also hidden, try to cleanup there.
If MIDI devices are stable, but you mean it hangs in "Connecting..." state, that is different. So please write more precisely about "not recognizing".
------------------------------
About crashes with plug-in edits. There is a rumor it happens. I was not digging deep there and no one was sufficiently precise in description when that happens. I mean by which unit (MCU, XT, C4, any or a combination), which plug-ins (FX, prochannel, any, combination). As the best, some simplest possible project just with one device which can reproduce the crash.
I understand that asking users to debug problems is unfair. But:
* I do not have any Mackie unit, I only have one Android emulator for MCU
* I am also just a user
* I am relatively busy
* unfortunately, probably I am the only person at the moment who can find the bug and fix/workaround it. The source code is Open Source (thanks to Cakewalk). I understand how it works (I mean the whole code).
So, if someone is ready to spend time to pin the problem with FX control till the level I can reproduce it, I am almost sure I will be able to fix it. But I am not ready to do that alone, without devices and so absolutely no reason for myself.
