Trying to map out a design for my next synth, and I'm stuck with a signal flow problem. Got 8 VSTi's packed together into one stream in mono.(Never tried this before). Problem is : Adjusting the Sequencer speed causes audio to hang forcing a shutdown. Am I just asking for trouble trying to gel 8 streams into one???

G'day Nix. thanks for testing it. Still No good at my end. Hangs every time I move for the speed knob. I'll keep playing with it.....

hmm, just testing again, I did get it to crash SM. Just wondering, what if there is a missing 'note off' to the 'MIDI event', when u change speed?

I was looking at the mono end of things, but now that you mention it, it could be the midi splitter module I made. I'll redo the midi end of things and see how it goes. Thanks mate.

Fixed now. My Note splitter was the cause. I did not account for the "Note on/Note off" part, as this module does. Here's the fix, for reference;

Found it in my toolbox. Downloaded it ages ago. Thanks for your help Nix!.

ur welcome 😇 sweet it works now gotta do some generative stuff with sequencers too, little random with the windows timers, but maybe a little disorder makes it humanised. Guess we could call it a feature!

Funny that. I'm finding my seq's sound more human when the timing goes to hell. As it struggles with the CPU load, it sounds like it's "improvising". Interesting.

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
