Gonna bitch: I am very frustrated 😓

Worked for weeks to build loops for my little sampler and do a live set at burning man. I love sharing music and doing it live means you can adjust for the vibe

I’ve tried everything but getting ready to get the sampler set up and: it randomly plays silence 🙃

it’s so god damn disheartening and I had so much cool shit to go with an animal theme that I’ve worked on for months. Better equipment is like $600 and my laptop: is not going there

Oh well 💀

@tabernak damn, calling it then? Sucks that your troubleshooting didn't turn up a solution :-(

@twigmouse yeah it’s a memory leak or something, I just have to upgrade to reliably play live

@tabernak is it full to capacity?

@twigmouse I posted a video, it basically randomly plays silence when it thinks it’s playing the samples/tracks when I switch between “scenes”

@tabernak yeah, I saw the video. If it's random, no idea. If it's repeatable... Might be a work around. But I imagine you've dug into it thoroughly.

@twigmouse basically it’s such a rare instrument versus the other competitors that me documenting it may be the first case anyone details. But yeah it’s entirely random, I tried everything including firmware and cards, less files, etc. a problem you can’t repeat it just one that’ll happen when it’ll be the worst moment :P I’d be super upset if it just cut to silence during a build or whatever

@tabernak yeah, makes sense.

Whats the upgraded device that's more reliable?

Show threadTabernak 🐾Aug 15, 2023
@twigmouse stuff like an Akai MPC One, Deluge, Maschine, “groovebox” things. Or: a controller for my laptop and ableton

@tabernak

I would be happy to loan you mine but it's old and I don't know that it would accomplish what you need. It’s a Dr. Sample.

@croc no time to learn new workflow for the burn tbh, I can wait 🤷‍♀️
