Great !!! I will definitely try that!

Talking about Reaper, there was always a nasty bug: Zyn would not unload correctly in Reaper's bridge host leaving a zombie process (that could be killed only with a task manager).

I hope I've figured that out too and fixed it now. Also includes that automation feedback bug fix:

But it's not fully tested...

After using ZynAddSubFX VST and closing Reaper x64 the bridge x86 remains in the background. Every time Reaper opens and closes. This problem in Reaper is only with Zyn. Please see picture...
Thanks to Jackoo for his great work. Thanks to him I can enjoy this powerful synth.

Could you please check that this is fixed in the compile I did in the post above?

Never happened to me. Strange. If it had happened, I probably would have noticed it, wouldn't I?

Replicated with the 64bit version of Reaper. Normally you don't see it, if you don't check your task manager. Very easy to test. Open Reaper, load Zyn, notice zyn is hosted in a separate process (bridged) - something like host***32.exe
If you close Reaper then in the older verisons host***23.exe would not close, but remained a zombie process. The only way to close it was to force an "end task" in task manager. This should be, hopefully, fixed now.

I don't know about the 32bit version of Reaper...

Now I understand. You get more and more of them, every time you exit and reopen the project. They don't seem to do much harm, though. 0 % cpu usage.

Yes, but they keep the file resources locked.
For instance you can't do a Reaper update... and well it's just not nice...
The root cause was that Reaper host is killing my GUI thread before I'm doing the cleanup where I receive a PROCESS_DETACH notification. So I'm waiting for a reply from a thread which has been killed prematurely and never comes => infinite loop => zombie process.

I hope I haven't broken anything else with the fix...

Well, the latest betaversion closes down that 32-process, and nothing dramatically happened when I just opened and closed a project. And zyn did produce sound. But maybe you cannot call that a full-scale test.

Sorry but the same issue continues in Zyn 2.4.1.519 beta. Here the result of four times open and closed Reaper.

Hi, in my post I was referring to unreleased 521beta. Sorry for the confusion. Could you kindly test this version?

Per, if you've solved your Reaper routing, let us know how;
I had the same question as you. Better ask some Reaper experts
