Wave Player bug ?

[Rocko]

Dear all,

I'm just transitioning from SynthMaker to Flowtone.
to test my modules I used to (S.M.) run a wave file via the wave player.
Just gave the stock 'wave player' an integer input of 250 and loaded any file I wanted - the output would play.

Doing this on F.S. however, gives me an error window and the application crashes down.

I will mention that these two set up (S.M. and F.S.) run on different PC's...

Do you have the same problem with 'wave player' in F.S.? Can you run any length of song in it without crashes?
Please me understand if this is a F.S. bug or something local.

Thanks,
Rocko

Hi,

Seems that this does not happen with a 8KHz mono file, but does with all 44.1 K stereo files...
It crashes even if 'Wave player' is not connected to output...

How big is your file?
Because FS and SM are very unstable with big files, memory leaks...

Hi,

54 M - a usual Wave file, stereophonic.

Hi,

Another minor issue...

On SM I could press 'ctrl+mouse' for a knob to get back to 'default' value.
This seems to have been eliminated from F.S. ?

You probably won't able to load such big files. This issue of memory leaks was also present in synthmaker.

FS knobs were remade onto ruby, so maybe there are some changes in behaviors. But you can export your knobs from SM (save in schematic) and import them into FS (load/drag'n'drop that schematic onto FS and bring knobs to the toolbox).

Define "big file". As far I remember - I could load big files (30 minutes?) without a problem, but I would not recommend save such big schematics... It's better to make some sort of on-start routine.

When you load big files.. (They are small) for flowstone like 50 MB it takes alot of time to load and the schematic can easily crash.
Happens for big arrays, text, wave file (read as array).
It you load 1 sec wave you had a 44100 rows array for standard samplerate

I usually try to keep some sort of triggering order and green delays, to not overload things.
