  4. Stretched Patches Cut Out while Playing

  • Stretched Patches Cut Out while Playing

    When I stretch slots, notes start cutting off. It's not only audible. The voice count in Advanced View drops suddenly. Whoosh, off the cliff, in mid-note while I'm still holding the key. 

    It's most conspicuous when I am speeding or slowing attack sounds, like violin detaches.

    For several seasons, I thought it was a RAM issue, because it behaves like the old days when only the header of the sample would play, and then the rest of the note was not fetched from the hard drive in time. Play, clip, silence.

    In the last four months or so, I realized it was a stretch glitch, because as soon as I turn off the stretching slot by slot, the problem goes away.

    Oh well, looks like another bug that's mine, all mine. 

    Three diagnostic points. Firstly, if I adjust the stretch percentage to re-light the "render" button, and then hit it to re-render, the cutting out stops. 

    Also, sometimes I'll just load the metaframe and it works fine. I can't find figure out why it works sometimes and not others.

    Lastly, I can't save a stretch preset. It behaves like it's saving, but it doesn't.

    Maybe the stretched samples folder reside on a slower drive. Did you lower the preload buffer? If your regular samples are on SSD and the stretched ones are on HD that may be why.

    Thank you Fred. That sounds like a logical place to start looking.
