Still lots of crashes with Analyser in _w

I'm still getting a bunch of crashes with projects using the analyser. It seems to happen when I have knobs controlling paramters, and the knobs are connected simultaneously to a parameter value effecting the waveform and the redraw trigger on the analyser. I don't know if this is a poor wy to connect things. I'm doing a lot of stuff to explore phase modulation and FM, and I want to see graphs as I change paramters - everything I build seems to crash on me.

I tried to come up with something simple that would crash - here's one: Add a knob to the schematic and connect its output to the phase on the oscillator, and also to the recalc trigger on the analyser. Then twiddle the knob a bit and see if it crashes. It hasn't always crashed for me this way...so it's hard to figure out what is causing it! But one thing seems to make it crash all the time: When you add the knob to the schematic, drag it over to the phase connector and right click to create the suggested link, then drag it over to the analyser and do the same with the recalc trigger connector. It may crash right away, or crash when you try to twiddle the knob.

I'll see if I can find something a little better to narrow down the problem...

Thanks a lot grease, that was a very helpful bug report. I think its fixed now, you'll have it very soon with the next release.

OK cool!

Another thing I learned from this is that I have trouble typing the word "parameter," and that I sometimes get the word "effect" and "affect" mixed up. I'm learning new things every day by using SynthMaker!
