WARNING: Never use Buffer Size > 2048

WARNING: If you use audio buffer size settings of greater than 2048 samples, Pinky VST will likely not work properly, and may crash your host application. A fix for this is in the works, but for now-- NEVER SET AUDIO BUFFER SIZE in your host application to anything larger than 2048.

In Ableton Live go to Preferences --> Audio ---> Latency --> Buffer Size and make sure it is LESS THAN 2048 samples. Ideally, Buffer Size should be something in the range 64 -- 256 samples.

Also-- go to Preferences --> CPU --> Plug-In Buffer Size and make sure it is also LESS THAN 2048 samples. It's usually best to set this to "As Audio Buffer".
