There is an error in the documentation for pvoc anal https://www.composersdesktop.com/docs/html/cpvocman.htm#USAGEANAL

It states that the maximum number of analysis points is 32768 however the process doesn't allow for values higher than 12380.

QuoteERROR: INCORRECT USE
ERROR: Parameter[1] Value (32768.000000) out of range (2.000000 to 16380.000000)

Also interestingly the documentation states that values must be a power of 2 which is standard for fft analysis and true for almost all values however, 16380 is not a power of 2; 2^14 is 16384. Although the process does run fine with 16380 as the parameter value despite this.

There seems to be an intermittent fault where fixed filter banks (FILTER BANK) hang on mac just after printing "INFO: Running Filter" to the console.

Sometimes it will run fine but most of the time it hangs. I have recreated this bug in the command line so it seems it is an issue with the cdp process itself. I have tried troubleshooting in lldb but it is just giving me exit code -1 and nothing else useful. I have had reports of this happening on M macs and intel macs so it doesn't seem like it is arm mac specific.

On my most recent test it was hanging on most runs with most arguments but the last run it hung on I was calling:

filter bank 1 infile outfile 400 1.5 55 12000

The infile was a stereo wav.

There are some crash reports in this link: https://github.com/j-p-higgins/SoundThread/issues/75 although they seem to suggest the problem is with calling display_virtual_time however commenting out calls to that in the filter code and building the source didn't seem to make any difference

Is here the right place to report this or should I open an issue on github?

Hi all,
I've been working on an alternative user interface for CDP called SoundThread. It is node based and allows you to patch multiple processes together, both in series and parallel. It's just got to a beta stage so I thought I would share it here. Right now not everything is implemented (there's only about 50 CDP processes currently in) but it will be expanding over time. I've designed this primarily with new users of CDP in mind (specifically my sound art students) but I think it's definitely still got some utility for those already familiar with CDP.

It's cross platform (Windows, Mac and Linux) and free to download on GitHub: https://github.com/j-p-higgins/SoundThread

I've made a couple of video overviews of it, the first one is here: https://youtu.be/6dOh-Geq6f8

Hi all,

On this machine - Late 2016 Macbook running Sierra 10.12.6 - Soundloom does not function correctly. On load most of the interface is unclickable, after clicking the Setup button and closing the window that opens the reopened soundloom window mostly works. However once I choose a directory the interface starts misbehaving again. It is mostly impossible to choose a sound and when I do manage too soundloom resizes and usually crashes.

I think this might be to do with the screen drawing and often when I click in the soundloom window the item selected is no where near where I clicked. Perhaps this is something to do with the retina display, however without installing custom software I'm not sure how to turn off the retina display scaling. As this is someone else's computer I'm trying to fix, I'd like to avoid installing loads of other software.

Has anyone had a similar issue and found a fix?

Thanks

Jonathan
