I’ve a Steinberg CMC-PD Pad (16x Pads) and want to use some samples and want to use two Audio File Player with 16 samples (it can be short jingle, short sound, short noise…etc)
OK, now, if I press Pad 1, it plays automatically sound 1. Pad two → Sound 2… etc…
I tried with widgets buttons, first assigned to Lane 1 Playing , two Lane 2 … OK but the PLay Button on the Audio File Player must also be enabled and it does not stop, it is useless.
Okay !
8X Sample player crash my GP5.
8X Sample player 1.2 works fine on GP5.
Is it possible to make a variant of the 1.2 - 8X sample player with 8 audio files.
Same interface… but with 1 audio file player.
The perspective to work with the Lane 1, Lane 2, Lane 3 etc with the same audio file player… ?
@Niquau
I just had a look at the gig file (i am the author of it)… and indeed i could get it to freeze as well.
But before i try to resolve the issue, i’d like you to tell me, what exactly you did (step by step) to have GP get “crashed”.
There probably seem to be diffrent causes for an error…
TIA
Hi, first many thanks for your great scripts
I’ve loaded your gig file, load 3 wav file to test.
Assign for each play button a pad of my CMC-PD and after, play sample 1 then the 2nd and the first 1 … etc … to test and it crash.
Do the same thing with your “8X Sample player - 1.2”, works like a charm.
Ok… maybe this one will work.
In my case, i didn’t exerience a crash, but rather a freeze.
I guess it has happened to some kind of race condition with scripting and the SAFP… it felt to me, like the script was “fast enough” on switching the tracks, so that two tracks were selected at once (don’t know if this condition is theoretically possible at all, but two track select buttons were lit at once, the loop of the first selected track played on, and then GP froze, the loop still playing).
I now took care that when switching tracks, the playhead is first paused and the started again after the track change… seems to be stable now.
I also had to add a short wait (10ms) before re-activating the playhead again, because the widget didn’t “notice” the change between switched ON/OFF when only the track selection happened fast enough, so the Play widget was OFF (what was wrong) but the player was playing /what was right).
Please try if this new version still crashes on your machine… on my PC i couldn’t provoke no issues anymore. 8xLoopPlayer_rev1(V5).gig (459.8 KB)
I had a crash but I had just loaded the files.
I reopened the project, loaded the files, saved and re open and nothing since.
There is still a bug apparently, when I open the project, the file names do not appear !
In edit mode (see screen), they are there but in panel mode, nothing.
Open the “Current Rackspace Script Editor” (Menu “Window”)
then change the value in the line
WaitTime : integer =500 //Waiting time in milliseconds to open/close SAFP window
from 500 to (say) 800
Press the “Compile!” button (lower right corner)
Then save and try again
…it’s a known problem and the script should automatically open the SAFP, then wait that amount of time (to update the GUI) and then close again.
Maybe on your machine that 500ms was too short. Just guessing.
No, it doesn’t solve the problem.
The samples are loaded, everything works except the recovery of the tracks. I tried with an even higher value, 1200ms, 3000… = NO TRACKS LOADED.
