Analyser/FFT problems?

unkargherth · 29 May 2005

Be sure to add a DSOout/ASIO out module and get one of the options selected

Crash, perhaps to do with FFT...

(I have experienced a few crashes, I think when using the Analyzer, but I don't know how to reproduce.)

Does Shif's filter analyzer work for other people in the current build?

Yeah, like unkargherth said try the following:

It is a bug recently introduced, it should work even without the DirectSoundOut, thanks for reporting it.

OK, that works.

However, I'm experiencing a lot of crashes - so far I have only had crashes in projects using the Analyser, but I can't be sure that's it. I don't e-mail directly from Outlook - if I want to send you the crash report (CRASH.DMP and ERRORLOG.TXT) can I manually e-mail it to you (jorge or malcolm?) as an attachment?

Sorry, another question: When I get this kind of crash, SynthMaker fails to start up completely (it hangs while loading the toolbox), unless I restart my computer. Do you know a way to run SynthMaker again without restarting?

Hope that's not too dumb a question...

yes, [email removed] or [email removed] is fine. The best is if you send us the schematic and tell us how to recreate the crash.

OK, but I'm wondering if it has something to do with my system (Windows ME perhaps?), because I get the crashes with just a some minor changes on something like the square wave osm that someone posted. I'll see if I can recreate the error somehow.....

OK, here's a file where the crash can be reproduced:

1. delete the connection between the sine osc and the analyser. 2. redraw the arrow that you just deleted. 3. twiddle the knob a bit.

Then it crashes (at least for me).

buggy.osm

I can't even open the file; instant crash in _s.

Request: Could there be a way to open SM w/o trying to open the last/recovered file? I'm getting tired of uninstalling/reinstalling all the time. cheers

Oh shoot...sorry about that...If you build this from scratch, do you have any problems with it?

EDIT: By the way, the latest beta appears to be _r...where did you get _s?

Well, for some reason, even after uninstalling & deleting the entire SM folder, then reinstalling, I can't get into SM at all, so I have no clue.

Just find a link for an older version, {copy URL} {paste} edit the last letter. I usually find the new versions this way; the links are typically hidded in some corner of a random post.

Crap...sorry about killing your computer...it was just a file built in SM! Anyway - maybe you can get _r to run?

Most probably related to some module/schematic that SM is trying to load when it starts like for example the recovery file, try deleting it from the recovery folder. If it turns out to be the recovery file you always have the option of disabling the recovery file feature in the settings although that would mean that you could lose some unsaved work in other situations. Latest version of SM is now 0.9.3t in case you want to try it. [old link]
