zynaddsubfx
Zynaddsubfx lockup
The attached file needs renaming to .txt
System was playing music in a continuous loop. After a number of loops I noticed it had stopped.
The zynaddsubfx was frozen. The fltk gui was frozen. zynaddsubfx was however still running, but not responding to any osc messages. zest was running and could still move sliders and that would output the usual logging (to its shell ) that I / we added two days ago.
Since I was running zynaddsubfx from a shell, I pasted the shell output into the attached file (which is not a jpg). I don't know if there is any useful information there.
I have seen this problem before, but was too busy working on other problems to do much at the time.
Github doesn't let you attach text? You should be able to insert some text inline if you use code blocks as well.
Generally if the backend appears to be be stuck that implies it was zombified from jack. It's been a while since I've checked this, but I think zombification is recoverable by changing the audio/midi backend. There's clearly something going wrong as many messages which aren't supposed to be on the realtime side are getting there. I'd assume that happens when performing copy/paste or load/save actions while messages are still being sent frequently. I'd agree that this is (likely) a separate bug from the GUI issues you've had.
I haven't used copy/paste actions. However I do use load/save actions via osc to regularly ( say every 3 minutes) backup zyn master to file. Only recently have I had this problem. I'll let you know if it happens again.
