I lost my modules!

[jobro]

The whole shebang. Gone just like that. All it says is <please wait>, and nothing happens. Any help would be considered hot. I have SynthMaker installed on my work as well. Should I copy the modules from there?

damn thats hard....me and a few others had a likely problem in the past, perhaps theese related topics can help you a little.

Well I copied the system folder from synthmaker under program files to synthmaker under appdata. Still no luck. Then it hit me that my synth has a module that checks if a folder exists, and does it quite frequently. I think that the tick 100 needs some optimization done to start after SynthMaker's startup routine is completed. It scans for a folder which contains the waveforms both addive and drawn. I cannot give you the oscilator, but I've posted the CheckFolder module:

I had this phenomenon last week also. When i opened an existing osm my modules have not been loaded and i just had the message "please wait".

Furtunatelly SM started correctly when starting it from my Windows/Programs folder.
So i assume that my osm was somehow corrupted.

This is rather strange. I forced SM to recognize the modules when I tried to drag the MIDI in primitive to the toolbox. Then it loaded. Anyways it is a really annoying feeling when one know there is tools available, but none shows up. It's if the SM toolbox all went out in strike. Saying Not this time.

That often happens also here on a generic PC slow-down too. I just simply close and re-open the file.

hehe the toolbox does indeed work strange sometimes
(thinking of a old SM bug i had last year .it crashes SM EVERY TIME
i tried to enter the word "drag" in the toolbox search. )

This just happened to me also.
I opened a download from forum, from download dialog,
and no modules.
I reopened SM from desktop shortcut and it was fixed.

YUP - Toolbox loading slows down very much - sometimes freezes...

It works sometimes if i just click inside a module.

Closing and reload OSM works always fine...

So it seams that SM should load the modules before any schematic is opened then.

This bug happens alot in this oscillator combo I designed since it uses a lot of tick25 / tick100. A wise move would be to disable them until everything is loaded.

for me personally the toolbox is one of the most important things that has to get fixed.
it´s a IMPORTANT BASIC feature and if it does not work properly it slows down everything else, no matter what you build.
i can´t speak from the view of a high-organized DSP pro but for me as a "just-for-fun" SM user
it´s really a pain to work with it fast. but that´s maybe related to my chaotic module system hehehe

I´ve solved it as follow :

1- Uninstall SM
2- Delete all SM folders (from C:\Program Files and from C:\Users\gvalletto\AppData\Roaming
3- Reinstall SM

That's all. I hope it's useful for all
