OSM not opening for other users

[billv]

I recently updated my Synth (X11), and re-posted it. While I got no problems here, The OSM is not
opening for some people . I'm clueless at the moment.
I'm asking now for as many people as possible to download it and report back, did it open for you or not?

Have you got 2 systems Bill?
I tried on laptop & desktop-
both crash
Sorry, I can't suggest anything to help.
One thing to do would be to get access to a system
where it crashes and chop modules out until it doesn't.

Yeh, just did that now. Used my little bro's cpu. It's just like mine, XP,a 2.33 Quad Core(the slowest they ever made).
Installed SM2, fired up X11.osm and no problems. Cut an exe,played with it-all good.
Downloaded a Standalone from my site-all good. A bit of a relief. at least.

I gave my mum a crappy old laptop years ago, so I tried that-and it Crashed SM2 straight away.

So is this a power issue?
Nix, how powerfull is your desktop?? What are you running?

I might have to issue a "minimum system requirements" statement for the OSM post.

You stolen Rob Papen Predator knobs whooaa

I don't think it's a minimum requirements thing.

My lappy is- i3 2.4ghz quad 2gig Win7

hmm

Good to hear.

Ha ha, my fault for not thanking the guy who posted em' in graphics section.

I don't think it's a minimum requirements thing.

Jeez Nix, That's not what I expected to hear. That's heaps of power. That put's me back to square one.
Don't get it. It should open. It's not that big a synth.
I'm crashing.

Hey"Corestyler", if you go poking about inside, and see something that could be causing issues, let me know.
And thanks for having a go at it.

[CoreStyler]

What edition of SM? free pro or enterprise?

[nix]

SM2 Pro here, the latest version.

[billv]

SM2 Pro here, the latest version

Yes, same here.

One thing to do would be to get access to a system
where it crashes and chop modules out until it doesn't.

Yeh, time to reverse engineer.
I'm confident in finding the problem today. There's just 3 things between 1.2 and the 1.3 Update-
1. X box controller
2. Visual display unit.
3. Tabs
So I'll just take em out, one by one, till she runs on the crappy laptop.

[CoreStyler]

Did save any kind of setting/preset on the disk? sometimes SM give strange things.
For example, one of my synth crashed when exporting a bank. I change the "total" programs into the preset manager, then... return to the previus set.. then bug disapper.
This was surely because some old data was present into the preset n*64 (the last).
Some data to "trigger block" maybe?

[billv]

Ran the tests. It was the X Box controller causing it. I replaced it with the new X Box Module I posted the other day
in examples, and no problems. It opens in my crappy laptop.
X11 has been updated to 1.4 and re-uploaded.
Nix, have another go.
BUG REPORT:
I did notice that when the x-box was engaged inside SM, I kept having issues resizing the toolbox or even getting
access to it. I'm presuming this is Graphics card related. I've had same thing happen before when the synth gets big.
I also saved the osm without pressing the btn to activate the X box control. I'm 99% sure, that as I saved the OSM,
the controller was active, and stayed that way in the file.
So when you try and start it up, the OSM is saying"I'm built to have the controller on", but the default behaviour of the X-box module is nothing untill you hit a pushbutton.
So that's where I think it was spitting the dummy.

[nix]

Yep, it's up 8D
Thanks for chasing down the problem.
I'll have a poke around the arrangement/triggers view.
I want to do this too,
make a generative sequencer.

[billv]

Yep, it's up

Wicked. Got to love squashing a bug.
You were right again Nix, it wasn't performance related. Which is great cause I want to keep going with it.

I want to do this too,
make a generative sequencer

Let me know if i can help in any way.
Note that with my work, there's not much, if any, serious DSP involved. So it seems to me that a crucial part
of "a generative sequencer" is how it's layed out. How it's designed. I like some of the ones in "Reaktor", well
worth the download to check it out if you havn't already been there.

setting/preset

Note: There's no program manager in X11. Not designed for VST plug in, just standalone at the moment.
I don't want that trouble maker in there at the moment. Less work too. Don't have to name everything.
I love that part.
Thanks again guys.
