Mac installation / MIDI input issues
« on: August 27, 2024, 12:09:32 PM »
I'm having issues getting SoundLoom to recognise MIDI input. I've connected my Nord Stage 2 to my MacBook M3 via USB cable. The tv executable is in my _cdprogs folder and when I start SoundLoom, the piano keys button appears in the Workspace/Main Screen, Calculator and relevant parameter fields. I've selected my keyboard in System Setting 2: Midi input device and connected it via Apple's MIDI Studio utility. Key/MIDI signals from the Nord register fine in MIDI Studio and Ableton Live, But SoundLoom isn't recognising it at all. These are the steps I'm following:

1. MIDI settings at the start of the session: Device: Nord Stage 2 Output (Core MIDI); Max No. MIDI Events: 6000; MIDI STOP Trigger = 24 (i.e. lowest key A-3)
2. I click the "Piano Keys" button to start input. Select Pitch and Midi as the values to capture, then click the Get Midi button
3. Dialog box appears: "Waiting for MIDI input. TO STOP, Hit MIDI key = 24". Click OK.
4. An error message appears immediately or after a second: "No Midi Data (_cdpenv/tvout)"

I've tried playing keys on the Nord both before and after clicking OK on the "Waiting for MIDI input screen (step 3), but nothing is recognised as an input.
I looked in _cdpenv/ and there's no file called "tvout"

Mac installation / Re: Crashing on QikEdit and MaxSmp

I am investigating this now - MaxSmp problem confirmed. But it all works as expected on the PC version, while there is no immediate obvious difference in the code (though the Mac did requires many changes to control widget gemetries and behaviour).

Any clue on what's going on with QikEdit? Or will you run into a similar build issue to the MaxSmp fix?

Thanks for the swift reply!

Mac installation / Crashing on QikEdit and MaxSmp

When clicking the MaxSmp button after running a process, SoundLoom crashes with the following error log:

Code: [Select]
invalid bareword "KEEP"
in expression "1.0 / KEEP:";
should be "$KEEP" or "{KEEP}" or "KEEP(...)" or ...

The Maximum sample info popup opens, but clicking OK doesn't dismiss it and the program freezes.

I also get a crash when clicking the QikEdit button from the Mix process window - the dialogue box reads "Error: unknown option '-command'", with the following error log:

Code: [Select]

    while executing

    (procedure "tk::ButtonUp" line 23)
    invoked from within

    (command bound to event)
If I click OK to dismiss the error, I can return to the process screen, but there's a hovering title bar (no window) titled with the filename of the mixfile.
Is anyone else having these issues? Running SoundLoom E on latest Mac OS (14.5).

Mac installation / Dropdown menus disappear on selection of nested submenu/blurry interface
« on: August 21, 2024, 01:31:56 PM »
I'm on Mac OS 14.5 Sonoma and running the latest version of SoundLoomE.
I'm having issues when clicking on dropdown menus, and mousing down the list of menu items. If a menu item is a nested submenu, the whole dropdown menu vanishes after mousing over the nested menu, and then mousing off it again.

E.g. I can mouseover all menu items in the "Workspace: Selected Files of Type" menu from "DO IT AGAIN" to "Play Merged Channels". But if I mouseover "Add Replace, or Find Sndfile(s) in Mixfile" and then move my mouse back to any top-level item (e.g. "Play Merged Channels"), the whole menu disappears.
However, the menu is still there, the screen isn't drawing it. If I mouseover the part of the screen that should contain another nested menu within the same menu, e.g. "Post Display of File(s) on Desktop", the whole menu briefly flickers on again.
Is it something to do with the version of Tcl bundled with Sonoma MacOS 14?

I've also noticed that the interface text is very blurry, like a low-resolution image that's been heavily anti-aliased. Is there any way to sharpen it up (playing havoc with my dyslexia!). Changing the large screen/small screen option in System State doesn't have any effect (I can't choose the Leeds colour scheme either).
