Composers Desktop Project Forum

Thanks Simon and Richard!

Sorry for my delay I thought the problem was elsewhere, but I think I have isolated it now as I described.

running this is successful and produces the 15 audio files I am expecting

seanodalaigh$ sfedit cutmany 1 /Users/seanodalaigh/columbia.wav /Users/seanodalaigh/sylabble_ /Users/seanodalaigh/breakpoints.txt 0.01

If I move the files (columbia.wav and breakpoints.txt) to a my intended folder and run it; something like (with paths line separated here only for ease)

seanodalaigh$ sfedit cutmany 1
/Users/seanodalaigh/Documents/composition/2022/BLUE/system/segmentation/columbia.wav
/Users/seanodalaigh/Documents/composition/2022/BLUE/system/segmentation/sylabble_
/Users/seanodalaigh/Documents/composition/2022/BLUE/system/segmentation/breakpoints.txt
0.01

it outputs the first grain only. This seems to be an error statement that follows when this happens

0 min  0.00 secAbort trap: 6

I am assuming (hoping) I have the enviornmental variables set up correctly, as many other processes work fine for me in any folder structure. I actually tried making arbitrary folders in the Home directory to test it and it works actually! Maybe there is something in the strings of the paths I am supplying that is causing a bug?

Thanks in advance for the help,
S

Hi Seán,
Welcome to the forum & thank you for the complimentary remarks.

As a seasoned user I expect that you'll have set the environmental variables and so have a working, in every other way, system.
In which case this would seem to be a bug.
I'll alert Richard to this, thanks for the heads up.

Dear CDP users,

We are getting an increasing number of queries about the new Apple M1 machines (ARM architecture).  At the moment we cannot compile for the M1 and request help from the CDP Community.  In the first place, we do not have an M1 machine nor the resources to purchase one (free software has its drawbacks).  Secondly, the SoundLoom GUI is written in TCL/TK using v8.5 and there appear to be various support problems for M1 that concern SoundLoom.

Ways to help:

 - Please let us know if you have successfully compiled the CDP code for the M1 and are able to use CDP with this processor and its related OS.  If so, would you be willing to share the expertise that has enabled you to do this.

 - Forward any information about TCL/TK and M1 support

 - Would someone be willing to try to compile CDP for M1 and correspond with Richard Dobson about how it goes (richard@rwdobson.com)

 - A final option would be to donate a spare M1 computer to CDP

We have been doing our best to keep up with the many OS changes that Apple have been making, but the M1 is so far a step too far for us.

Please respond to the Forum and/or directly to the CDP email address: cdpse9@gmail.com

Thanks very much,
CDP

I'm having the same issue, and would greatly appreciate any help to solve it!

The CDP Downloads page (hosted at https://www.unstablesound.net/cdp.html) is currently undergoing revision.

The CDP Documentation download, in particular, is faulty and should NOT be downloaded yet. It will be fully revised very soon and I'll post a notice when it's ready.

If you do not have the current documentation, it can be downloaded at:

- the full version is called CDPDocs.zip and is dated 30 Oct 2021. An update to this (to match the version on the downloads page) will be available in due course.
