MIDI STOP can cause Crash

Post by josh »

Seems like if you send more than one (or possible too many...) Midi Stop messages, than Sooperlooper will crash (the backend crashes and the GUI looses connection).

What do you mean by MIDI stop? A note-off? Could you give more details please as to what exactly you are sending and what SL outputs to terminal when crashing?

He means the beat clock stop message: 0xFC.

Josh, what platform and what settings are enabled (especially the ones in the misc preferences)?

I'm using Ubuntu 64bit Lucid Lynx. I'll have to get back to you on the settings, I'm not at that computer right now. But off the top of my head, I know Sooperlooper is synced to Midi Clock and nothing else (it's not synched to Jack or controlling Jack). Honestly, this was only a problem because my software wrapper was buggy and sending more Midi Stops then it needed to and I fixed that, so not a show stopper. I'll try to get those settings soon though.

I hope this doesn't post twice, but the last attempt didn't seem to work. Also, I should add, that this this happens every time, not a random kind of thing. If Sooperlooper receives two MIDI Stop events before receiving a MIDI Start, it crashes:

Ok, more details.

Under Latency/Misc...

Automatically set Latency... checked
Automatically Disable... checked
Pause all loops on incoming MIDI Stop Event... checked

On Main screen

sync to: MidiClock
8th/cycle: 8
quantize: cycle
mute quant, odub quant, repl quant: checked

sync, playback sync: checked on all loops (four)

Hope that helps!
