I am using a MOTIF XF8 with Cubase 13 and the MOTIF VST Editor on an Intel-based MacBook running Sonoma. I recently noticed now that every time I go to select an insert effect on a channel in the MOTIF VST editor, Cubase crashes/quits immediately. Cubase 13 isn’t the problem, as the same thing happens with Cubase 11 & 12 too. I have tried reinstalling the Yamaha and Steinberg drivers, reinstalling the MOTIF VST Editor, but the issue persists. I am thinking that the problem could be my installation of Sonoma and doing a clean install of MacOS.

Has anybody else experienced this problem and managed to put a fix in? Can anybody suggest any other troubleshooting steps?

Just in case anybody running MacOS has similar issues.

I’ve made a boot disk on an external drive with MacOS Ventura and when I need to use Cubase and the MOTIF XF Editor VST Plug-In, I just boot off that and everything works as expected. :)

I would say that my issue is either caused by Sonoma not being compatible with the MOTIF XF Editor VST Plug-In or something that loads with Sonoma when I boot from my internal drive.

Hope this is of help to other MOTIF XF/Cubase/MOTIF XF Editor VST Plug-In users.

I am running Sonoma 14.4.1 and Cubase AI/LE 10.5 and all is fine.  I just updated to the New Sonoma last week and have been playing around with Cubase, inserts, etc. and so far have not had any problems

Thanks for your reply. Just to confirm: are you using a MOTIF XF8 and the MOTIF XF VST Editor?

Sorry, I am using an XF7, but not using the VST editor.
