Hi,

I tried to debug a problem with a code (see thread [old link]), but everytime I make a monoout in the code module and try to read values out of it with the Mono Readout module SM crashes. I use version 1.1.2 (personal edition).

Do the values of the mono types have to be between -1.0 and 1.0? I tried that to force the values in that range, but that leads to a crash, too.

Is there any other way to read floats out of a code module for debugging purposes?

Hi Mue, welcome to SM. Can you post an OSM please?

Ou sorry, of course:

its probably the mix of poly and mono in your codeblock, try making it all in poly, the result should be the same.

Oh, I see. Perhaps the mixing of Poly & Mono in Code is bad news for the Mono Readout? I'm thinking you should not every have Mono & Poly interact like that. I would change all the inputs/outputs to streamin/streamout, then use a Mono Readout after the Combiner &/or Poly Readout after the Code. Poly & mono are treated differently in SM; both have different behaviors.

Mixing Poly and Mono sections be it using primitives or in a code component is a big no-no and a sure fire way to engineer a crash.

Ideally the software shouldn't allow you to create this kind of situation. We have mechanisms in place to stop it happening when you connect primitives but not within a code component so perhaps we need to look at that.

In the mean time always keep Poly and Mono sections separate and you should be fine.

Right. Following that rule makes all work fine. Just a typical newbie mistake, I guess 😊

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    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.
