I have used CsoundQT (0.6.1) with Csound 5.14 float samples on MacOSX 10.5.8 recently. I have noticed two problems. Perhaps these are being addressed, or perhaps I have an old version: please let me know: 1. With large scores, CsoundQT editing is extremely slow, sometimes just displaying a beachball for 30 seconds. After awhile it runs somewhat better, but then may revert to beachball display. It seems like some internal memory management might be occurring. (My workaround is to store the score in a separate file and refer to it via #include.) 2. Whenever I enter CsoundQT's preferences, the program crashes when I exit from preferences. I think any preference changes I've made do get saved. best, Lou Cohen |

Hi Lou, These two issues are known and fixed. Although there is no "stable" release yet, you might want to try the alpha versions, which might work better. Otherwise, reverting to 0.6.0, will solve the crashing, although the slowness with scores might remain. http://sourceforge.net/projects/qutecsound/files/CsoundQt/0.7.0-alpha/ I'm very interested in hearing reports of stability and performance for the current alphas, so if you want to give it a try, let me know how it goes.

Hello, I have CsoundQt 0.7-alpha on my winXP desktop (installed with the Csound 5.17.2 installer), and the program crashes each time I try to access the soundcard options. This has been the case with every version I've installed since Csound 5.15 (when I started using csound). The same installers work well on a win7 laptop. I just tried installing CsoundQt 0.6 using the installer from sourceforge and it crashes in the exact same way. Can't try it on win7 because that laptop is now a Linux machine (and CsoundQt works very well in there), but CsoundQt worked very well when I still had windows installled. Couldn't this bug be external to CsounfQt? Something like a missing library, maybe? Alexandre On 17 April 2012 22:16, Andres Cabrera <mantaraya36@gmail.com> wrote: Hi Lou, |

Andres, I just tried 0.7 alpha5. It crashed upon launch. I tried a few times, same result each time. -Lou On Apr 17, 2012, at 4:37 PM, Alex AB wrote: > Hello, > I have CsoundQt 0.7-alpha on my winXP desktop (installed with the > Csound 5.17.2 installer), and the program crashes each time I try to > access the soundcard options.

Hi Alex, Try removing the the FLTK plugins from Csound's plugin folder, i.e. "virtual.dll" and "widgets.dll". Cheers, ~ andy.f On Tue, Apr 17, 2012 at 4:37 PM, Alex AB |
