(That sounds (no pun) to me like the SAFP didn’t get the data from disk available the first time, but the second time it’s in the cache. Could it be that your disk is heavily used by sampled instruments or aren’t you using sampled instruments? But you’re right: let’s not get distracted)
No, no sampled instruments at all in background, left lingering in other applications. Or in here. No IIR reverbs (convolution) either, but hey let’s keep it to topic, I can start another thread on this. But it could be that - even more far fetched than before - thosed missed MIDI markers happens right at the spot of such a dropout? Russian roulette… I didn’t hear a dropout when those markers-missed was happening. But hey, do not reply to this please, it’s another topic. It can get derailed seriously of we mix those two up…

No, I told you in the post above with all the screen shots. It may be embeeded in you post quote.
“It is not more stable, but when you use the MIDI IN Omni you could also get MIDI in from any connected physical MIDI device.
And when you use virtual MIDI you could get infinite MIDI loops.”
No external MIDI ins to or from audio card. They are turned off actually. No MIDI mother keyboard or anything like that. All in the box. I have thougth to minimize as much as possible, I having problem finding the sticky in here that is supposed to leave suggestions on how to optimize computer for DAW, GP and all other standalone modes. I think I got that down anyway by “closing” or excluding any excessive ouputs from soundcard and not running any other ‘USB’ gadgets at the same time, i e no hub or something like that. Only thing connected to soundcards is a guitar tele male plug wire, usb cable, and two line out cables (tele too). I’ve yet to delve into the rabbit hole of hooking up multiple controllers and external keyboards, racks to it. One step at a time…
I find it confusing in here. When I chose to reply to a specific post, it turns out it resides as a general post, not under the frank or pianopaul posts that asked me questions, I’ve tried to answer with multiple quotes inside one reply but it didn’t work…
One other thing, for general information, is that whenever the track list automatically carries on over to the next mp3 file it takes some time for it to re-draw the waveform. It’s always on top of the stream player screen… that’s why I deliberately adds a few second of silence in each file just before I add some marker, and top of this wait for the plugin to set all patches and presets right. But no mp3 ie is longer than 5 minutes, so it loads within 2 seconds anyways.
Now I’ve tried everything each day - a run through of it all - since a couple of days ago. The “missing control changes” are occuring at different spots now, not the same ones at earlier. Only once it went through all 30 songs without any hitch, and without the silent drop outs. Note that the two doesn’t occur …like the instances were the dropouts occur can happen when the “midi control changes” occrus properly all the way through without missing any markers. So they are not related in any way. Maybe some internal - cache - of the GP of some sort that hasn’t been emptied? I have ample RAM (16 GB) In both Mac machine and Win10 machine. That one can’t manage from outside?
According to the above, you’re running 5.0.40. Is there a reason why you haven’t updated to 5.1.1?
Yes, this happened before this update was available, and yes, now I’ve tried it with the latest update, and it’s still the same. SO UPDATE:
I am using 5.1.1 now!
Can you do a test this way?
Please replace the used Audio File and test again.
I used your uploaded gig file and loaded a different Audio File and I am not able to reproduce the issue you have.
Yes, I will, but that particular file is just ONE of the audio files with more “MIDI markers” than one or two. This particular audio file fared well the last days I’ve tried it, but others with just as many markers (and fewer) failed in the missing markers department…
Question (a long shot): All files are 44.1 Khz wav or mp3 (mp3 mostly) but some IIRs inside some plugins may be at 48 Khz. Cab speaker captures and so on. Audio card(s) is set at 44.1. Can this jinx the streaming player files in any way?
i have now for almost 2 weeks and more, re-arranged the playlist (not setlist) and tried to change out most MIDI messages to “Set Handle option” instead of MIDI control change messages where applicable and possible. As the streamin file player list consist of like 33 tracks all of under 5 minutes long each, the errors seems to show up towards the latter half of the songs in that list. I had a very hard time watching the MIDI monitor all of the time but I succeeded twice to actually catch that it didn’t send any - say - preset up change to the plugin which varied between S-gear and other plugins, Valhalla, Amplitube. No MIDI index contains more than 2 midi changes at once. I tried to reshuffle order, and even random order, but the errors are not song related, but shows up as I reach the end of the list, and error shows up in songs that didn’t had it before.
CPU is never above 37-40 %
As the test period has disappeared from Win10 I was unable to test it there, so I am using Mac OSX 10.15 only, now. I have checked that I - really - have the latest update of GP. I’ve even tried “predictive loading” and so on, but to no avail. Can it be RAM related? That the list of MP3 files are just on the borderline of getting too long?
