Hi Yo'bos! ;)
If you're managing to crash 0.060.10 then I'd really like to hear what
it takes to do that.
I just had 0.60.10 crash again on me, this time on exit and I had to
kill -9 its process. I had just set up two parts and saved them to a
parameters file (.xmz) then instantly tried quitting via the Yoshimi
-> Quit menu option when I had to kill the blighter manually.
I've also had it crash a couple of times when browsing through Adriano
Petrosillo's great patches although I can't say any particular patch
triggers it, maybe its something to do with rapidly changing patches
or when it switches from one synth engine or whatever to another?
Another crash I saw a couple of times was when trying to step through
this, Paul Nasca's SimpleElectricGuitar+Strings tutorial vid:
http://www.youtube.com/user/zynaddsubfx?blend=7&ob=5#p/u/10/XNkUQhU7SZs
I tried twice and got about halfway through the vid before 0.60.10
crashed- as soon as I get time to try again and if I work out exactly
what causes the crash I'll let you know. Sorry I can't be more
specific on these last two crashes just yet.
Another good point you make is that connections can vary across
systems which complicates or may outright prevent sharing of JACK
sessions. I'd still like to think theres someway to get a jack session
from one machine to another yet I expect it'll involve editing of
session files or a custom script to do so. You never know what patches
people may have stored in their databases so I'd like to be able to
use state files (or whatever is best for the future of yoshimi) to
bundle Yoshimi instruments together with their other session& source
files in a conveniently shareable, reproducible manner.
For sharing bundles of instrument selections, I think you're looking
at Will's parameters concept. For now at least, you're on your own when
it comes to the broader stuff like sharing session data.
Yes, it seems a parameters aka .xmz file does what I need it to and
hence forms the perfect backup strategy for yoshimi sessions. The
alternative was to save into a new folder every time I saved a JACK
session which would get messy quickly.
I'd like to keep my database kept pretty much intact between loading
different sessions hence the .xmz file solution works perfectly for me
and so I would indeed hope that support for this gets revived under
0.62 shortly.
Thanks for sharing your working method with us Will, certainly useful
to see how others organise projects.
