hello,
during the last days of testing diphone on my 2012 macbook pro (osx 10.7.3) i had a lot of fun and came to
very interesting results but i also experienced strange behaviours of the software that i´am going to report here.
some of them makes me wonder if diphone really works correctly on my machine.
lets find out:
-
diphone (not addan /resan) crashes always when i try to preview a composite segments
-
diphone (not addan /resan) crashes sometimes when i drag a segment into a sequence or i switch back to diphone from another app like thunderbird/fox
-
when i try to do inharmonic analysis i get the following error:
PM Error: can’t open peaks input file ‘/Users/j/Documents/IRCAM/Diphone/ImpExport/Peakcrotale.pic.sdif’
Kernel return error -1
btw. didn’t found any infos about inharmonic analysis in the docs…
- there are clicks at the beginning and the end of segment and sequence when playing a preview - this probably depends on
the amp-env of a segment/sequence (missing fadein & fadeout )
- when previewing a sequence i also get a click between segments from different sounds while cpu is ca. 2%
(reducing the samplerate and nr of partials doesnt seem to effect this while the segment length does)
-
i get crazy loud/ distorted playback of the synthesized sound in addan analysis window when i change the audio setting like bitrate and audio format
-
some dico files (that are part of the standard diphone app ) didn´t open at all or just open an empty dico-window
-
the segments of the working dicos (eg…a7.dico) are blocked/greyed-out sometimes. then i have to click in the background of the dico window or the desktop to “reanimate” them (sometimes diphone crashes here)
-
the volume control of the sequence (the fader) doesn’t work correctly (e.g. leveling to the left side results in full volume, i have to re-adjust it for every preview )
if there is anything i can do/check please let me know…
kind regards.
