	I can reproduce the errors here. I have also made a test CSD which seems to indicate that we can open up to 250 files simultaneously. Not sure yet where this limit comes from.

	If that is running on a Mac, it could be the limit imposed by default by the OS. I hit something similar working on our particle physics sonification stuff, opening 100s of small soundfiles. By default the Mac imposed quite a low limit, which might well be 256 (whereas Windows by default offered IIRC a generous 1024 or so). but there is some low-level console command which can be used to increase the limit. I don't remember it offhand, but the information is probably buried deep in my archives somewhere and I may be able to track it down ere long.

	yes, that’s a system issue. This article explains it: http://krypted.com/mac-os-x/maximum-files-in-mac-os-x/ I’ve checked and the results from my system is: ligeti:debug victor$ sysctl kern.maxfilesperproc kern.maxfilesperproc: 50000 so it’s OK, it’s pretty high. The problem is the shell, which needs to be told to open more files. This does the trick: ligeti:debug victor$ ulimit -S -n 2048 after that everything runs OK. ======================== Dr Victor Lazzarini Dean of Arts, Celtic Studies and Philosophy, Maynooth University, Maynooth, Co Kildare, Ireland Tel: 00 353 7086936 Fax: 00 353 1 7086952 > On 3 Nov 2015, at 10:38, Oeyvind Brandtsegg wrote: > > Tested both Victors and Chrostophers's files here on windows and I got > no problems. > > kitchen_test_little.csd > ... > B 14.670 .. 14.740 T 14.739 TT 14.739 M: 0.09073 0.05582 > B 14.740 .. 14.810 T 14.811 TT 14.811 M: 0.00971 0.00445 > B 14.810 .. 14.880 T 14.881 TT 14.881 M: 0.00702 0.00301 > B 14.880 .. 14.950 T 14.951 TT 14.951 M: 0.00573 0.00371 > B 14.950 .. 15.020 T 15.020 TT 15.020 M: 0.00002 0.00002 > Score finished in csoundPerform(). > inactive allocs returned to freespace > end of score. overall amps: 0.74792 0.84215 > overall samples out of range: 0 0 > 0 errors in performance > Elapsed time at end of performance: real: 40.107s, CPU: 40.109s > 8192 16384 sample blks of shorts written to kitchen_test_little.aiff (AIFF) > > > Victor's csd > ... > instr 1: p4 = 994.000 > new alloc for instr 1: > diskin2: opened 'fox.wav': > 44100 Hz, 1 channel(s), 121569 sample frames > instr 1: p4 = 995.000 > new alloc for instr 1: > diskin2: opened 'fox.wav': > 44100 Hz, 1 channel(s), 121569 sample frames > instr 1: p4 = 996.000 > new alloc for instr 1: > diskin2: opened 'fox.wav': > 44100 Hz, 1 channel(s), 121569 sample frames > instr 1: p4 = 997.000 > new alloc for instr 1: > diskin2: opened 'fox.wav': > 44100 Hz, 1 channel(s), 121569 sample frames > instr 1: p4 = 998.000 > new alloc for instr 1: > diskin2: opened 'fox.wav': > 44100 Hz, 1 channel(s), 121569 sample frames > instr 1: p4 = 999.000 > new alloc for instr 1: > diskin2: opened 'fox.wav': > 44100 Hz, 1 channel(s), 121569 sample frames > (...then processes for a very long time) > > > > 2015-11-03 11:04 GMT+01:00 Victor Lazzarini : >> This is the same file in my test, so Csound would have opened it only once. >> ======================== >> Dr Victor Lazzarini >> Dean of Arts, Celtic Studies and Philosophy, >> Maynooth University, >> Maynooth, Co Kildare, Ireland >> Tel: 00 353 7086936 >> Fax: 00 353 1 7086952 >> >>> On 3 Nov 2015, at 09:59, Richard Dobson wrote: >>> >>> If that is running on a Mac, it could be the limit imposed by default by the OS.
