A vortex of strummed impulses

    A great looking patch, I have opened it up, to listen to its immenseness, ….. and then I get the following annoying message on the attachment. Maybe I didn’t follow the instructions properly, bad boy that I am!
    Any advice would be appreciated!

    No no no, you’re a good boy :)
    Wish I had some advice to give you. I haven’t encountered that annoying message myself, but this patch was a bit problematic for me as well. It would run fine for about 5-10 minutes but then Rack would crash and close without warning. It was using close to 90% of my CPU when looking at my task manager, so maybe it’s related to that. But still, even in the early stages, when I had just a few modules on screen, it had the same erratic behavior. Could be caused by some of these modules I’ve never tried before : “Strummer” (Nysthi), “Heat of the Moment” (Frequency Domain), “Button” (Little Utils), “Unity Mix” (QuantalAudio)… but then again, I say this without foundation, could be any modules that was recently updated that might have a bug and/or memory leak.

    So not just me then! I didn’t look at the CPU usage, I got it to work for about a minute then, it popped with that message when I tried to fade Mindmeld main output. So I opened it again, three times in all, and unmuted Number 5 and then searched for the other part of the instruction, could you provide a screenshot of the second instruction, what I’m supposed to reset. That might tell me what I’m doing wrong!
    My inner goodness might mean I get the Christmas presents I want! :>

    Doubt the 2nd instruction will make a difference (it’s just a reset that’ll have a small impact on the noisy percussion sounds) but here’s the screenshot anyway :)

    It’s just about clicking the button on top (see orange arrow) until the tiny green light next to the TGL port is turned off (see pink arrow)

    If I ever figure out what’s causing this behavior, I’ll update the patch file. Tks!

    Ok mate, hope you have a good Christmas! If the patch doesn’t get sorted, is it possible to have some audio so I could use it as a sample. A bit cheeky, but that’s my evil twin talking!
    You never get nought if you don’t ask!

    Sure, you wanted the full mix (like in the YouTube clip I posted) or was there a particular track in the mixer you’d like to have isolated?

  • Kleinemaschinen on said:

    Thank you very much, I will have a listen to the full video and see if any part of the presented track stands out! I know it’s all good anyway! Very kind of you!

    Hello again, all ok in your corner of the world?
    I’ve been thinking, [unusual for me], please could I have the full video mix, I can then decide at my leisure which bit/sections I like the most. Is there anything I can do for you in the VCV Rack realm, it is Christmas!?

    Thank you so much, enjoy the Christmas break, is Covid still rampant where you are? Stay safe and healthy.

    Being in a smaller-populated area in eastern Canada, we’re still getting a handful of cases on a daily basis, but that’s nothing compared to what’s going on in the bigger provinces. So yeah, not a return to normalcy yet, but we’re in a good place at the moment. Stay safe & merry xmas!
