I've Run Out of Memory - Static Machines Time?

Sorry buddy, I’m much more of a 2 to 32 bar loop guy, I’ve never even made a sample chain…
Others must know something about it, but I’m pretty deep in the forum here and I don’t recall reading this before…

Anyone? :thinking:

Hmmmm.

I’ve created a new project.

I can load the chains to flex but not to static?

Who’s the chain guru in the parts? :wink:

Don’t recall seeing that one before… might be a MkII / OSv1.30C / OSv1.30D specific bug? Or might be an issue with the CF card; that is returning a false flag?

@apmbpm: What OS are you running?

If you want to send me over the sample and ot settings file; I can have a little play around and see if I can replicate; or if anything pops out?

Have you saved the project under the new OS?
Maybe even sample settings need to be saved under the new OS?

I’m running 1.30d.

I’ve shut everything down for the evening; but tomorrow will offer the chance to get stuck in again.

I’ll copy the data and serve it to you rusty if you wouldn’t mind taking a look?

It’ll be tomorrow though. :blush:

Morning all . . .
I’ve had a quick experiment with the static chain from card thing . . .
I checked that other chains read from the card okay. I’ve got some percussion chains and they work fine from static. Looking at the electric piano chords though, they show ERR even in the browser!
I’ve noticed also that the details at the bottom of the screen differ for the percussion and piano chains.

Percussion 44.1 24b 2 Ch with a smiley face
Piano 30.4k 32b 2 Ch unhappy face.

Both work in flex. Only percussion in static.

I’m going to re do all the chains again in Octachainer. I think the sample rate may be the problem although I’m sure I left it at 44.1.

Hmmmmm, so I’m using Octachainer as mentioned. I’ve got a long wav file exported from Ableton with the Electric piano chords. I’m cutting it up using slice per X step of BPM. However, there’s no option for sample rate.

What an I doing wrong. What don’t I understand?[quote=“apmbpm, post:26, topic:53757, full:true”]

If Piano is 30khz 32 bits ERR seems normal.
Especially the 32 bits setting.
Convert it to 44.1k 24b or 16b.
Maybe Flex accept certains settings, not Static.

I don’t think Octachainer is the problem.

You could try and use audacity to change the sample rate of the EP chain to 44.1khz and to 24bit or 16bit.

Okay, cheers darenager, Audacity seems to have worked. Have exported the chains with different settings and all seems generally okay.

Here’s a link to the chains . . .

They are Cthulhu playing Lounge Lizard VST. They are minor only but there is every key.

Recorded with slight variations in velocity and without any effects.

Hopefully of some use to someone else.

Thanks for all your help,
Adam

They’re are some minor clicks that may need slight adjustments due to the cross over points, but that’s easy to readjust.:sunglasses:

Unrelated I’ve had a few times where I resample or record something and it saves with the file name ERROR in the flex/static list once saved.

As for static vs flex, I use static for most one shots, or basic drum hits to resample all on one track after sequencing.

Thanks for that; I appreciate learning the methods that others user.

Hey Sezare56,
I’, coming to you with a question about these chains that I created in this post.

The question is . . . . why are they not the correct pitch?
I’ve just started using them and they are not the correct pitch. I have timestretch turned off but they are nearly an octave out. Even when turning pitch 12 semitones they are still slightly lower than the originals.

Any ideas what I’ve done incorrectly?
Thanks

Maybe Ableton had Auto warp turned on for long sample. This changes pitch. Try unchecking autowarp long sample in preferences before transferring the file.Just a thought.

Maybe you exported it a 96khz…

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. . . .
Maybe I bloody well did!

I’ll check.

You may well have it.

Sezare56 - you nailed it.

Opened them in turn in audacity; changed to 44.1; exported as 32bit Wav. They now sound great . . .

But- they only load in flex machines. Static doesn’t like them again!

I must have saved them in a way that the static machines doesn’t like again. Bugger.

I’ll have another look again later. And then make them available for download again as they are pretty useful.

When they work! :wink:
