vcvrack-simple's Issues

bug: clock module

OS: win 8.1
Simple module pack version: 0.5.0
Module concerned: clock
Description: runtime error
Steps to reproduce: insert the clock module then try to duplicate it

Updates for VCV 0.6.0 ???

OS: OSX
Simple module pack version: (git SHA1 if builded from sources)
Module concerned: Clock Divider and the rest
Description: Update to new VCV version
Steps to reproduce:

Clock Divider incompatible with latest dev Rack

Hi Iohann ! The latest changes in Rack have left your Clock Divider in a bit of a puzzle. Here's the problem I've hit :

[dlphilp@The6300 VCVRack-Simple]$ make
g++ -I"." -fPIC -I../../include -I../../dep/include -MMD -g -O3 -march=nocona -ffast-math -Wall -Wextra -Wno-unused-parameter -DARCH_LIN -std=c++11 -c -o build/src/ClockDivider.cpp.o src/ClockDivider.cpp
src/ClockDivider.cpp:147:7: error: virtual function ‘virtual void ClockDivider::initialize()’
void initialize() override
^
In file included from ../../include/rack.hpp:6:0,
from src/Simple.hpp:3,
from src/ClockDivider.cpp:1:
../../include/engine.hpp:62:15: error: overriding final function ‘virtual void rack::Module::initialize()’
virtual void initialize() final {}
^
../../compile.mk:52: recipe for target 'build/src/ClockDivider.cpp.o' failed
make: *** [build/src/ClockDivider.cpp.o] Error 1

The latest Rack code has dropped initialize() and is now using reset(), which causes a problem with the Clock Divider code. I'm not a programmer, and I have almost no experience debugging C++, so I'm open to any suggestions you might have for a fix to the problem. I like your plugins. :)

[Travis]: make builds each day using the latest Rack

Please update modules for 0.6.0 – several of my patches are broken due to missing updates

Thanks.

0.6 display issue

OS: MacOS X 10.11.6 (El Capitan)
Simple module pack version: 0.6.0
Module concerned: Clock Divider, Clock
Description: Display issue, missing and misaligned text and buttons and plugs
Steps to reproduce: see attached image

Update for VCV 1.0?

Is this Plugin still maintained? Is there an update planed for VCV 1.0?

Setup Appveyor

This will be useful to make builds on Windows.
Currently I'm stuck with RTMidi -> #8

Trigger button

• Bases
• Decent GUI layout
• Decent SVG panel

Clock

Inputs:

• frequency
• reset
• run

Outputs:

• 8 clock
• reset
• run

Params:

• menu button -> see Module FSM
• unique knob

States:

• main clock frequency
• main clock BPM
• main swing ratio
• gate time (time) for each outputs
• divisor for each outputs
• delay (ticks) for each outputs

Module FSM
When the current state change, the LED panel should display during 1 second a code such as CLK0, CLK1, CLK N, SWG, etc...

Archive root folder does not match slug

The root folder of the plugin archive does not match the slug:

Slug: IO-Simple
Folder: VCVRack-Simple

Rack community repo issue reference

Installation on Windows 10

OS: Windows 10
Simple module pack version: (git SHA1 if builded from sources)
Module concerned: All

Description: This is probably a dumb newbie question: How do I install VCVRack-Simple? I copied the VCVRack-Simple folder from the Zip file to my Rack/plugins folder. When I load VCV Rack, I get an error dialog "Could not load plugin". In the log it says "[0.079 warn] Failed to load library C:\Users\mike\Documents/Rack/plugins/VCVRack-Simple/plugin.dll: code 127". Other modules installed from the VCV Rack plugin page load as expected.

What am I missing?

Thanks, Mike

Help upgrading to v0.6?

Hi,

do you need any help from the Rack Plugin Repair Team upgrading your plugins to v0.6 or are you planning on doing the work yourself?

Recorder (2 channels)

I will use this portaudio code for the Wav writer (like the dekstop Recorder).

• Inputs:

  • start / stop
  • inputs Left / Right

• Params:

  • Record arm
  • Start recording
  • Input volume

• Outputs:

  • Record start (for recorder chain)

• Mode to record many WAV in row. In this mode the defined output file name will be suffixed by a number, and when a recording start the number will be incremented. Maybe this mode should be the normal behavior?

[ClockDivider]: cv to control clock divisions

clock divider is an absolute must! very well done.
is it conceivable to add:
cv over clock division?

Clock Output 4 options not available (duplicated options for output 3)

OS: Mac OSX 10.12.6
Simple module pack version: 0.5.0
Module concerned: Simple Clock
Description: When cycling through the clock output options, the Divisor, Gate Time Etc for output 4 aren't listed. instead you get two copies of output 3 that mirror each other. then jump to output 5's options.
Steps to reproduce: Add Module to an instance of Rack 0.5.1

[Recorder] Crash on Linux, Fedora 21 with Jack

I can't reproduce with on Ubuntu 16.

Using Gcc with Travis

GCC is a compiler used by somes users, so it can be nice to use it with Travis in addition of Clang.

Runtime Error

Just tried to run vcvrack with the most recent version of vcvrack-simple. It made fine, but it gave a runtime error when I tried to make run. That is, the program opened, but then a window popped up that said something along the lines of "This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way."

It is a problem with something in FiniteStateMachine.hxx in the utils folder of the plugin, I think.

Here's what it said in the terminal when I closed the window and the program:

Program: C:\msys64\home\Henry\Rack\Rack.exe
File: ./utils/FiniteStateMachine.hxx, Line 88

Expression: creatorIt != m_creators.end()
make: *** [Makefile:56: run] Error 3

Edit: I probably should mention, i am using the a094a0c commit of vcv rack, one of the more recent dev versions.

Recorder not working

OS: 10.11
Simple module pack version: (git SHA1 if builded from sources) 0.5.9
Module concerned: Recorder
Description: Followed the instructions - set left and right from some module outputs (which work fine going straight to regular outs), which is reading on the Recorder VU's. Set the destination which puts on the green light, arm the track and get the blinking red light, then whenever I hit record the red button switches off. Any ideas here? Literally can't get it to record at all
Steps to reproduce: As above

[Recorder]: new SVG panel and layout

The old one is ugly and the DPI should be adjusted (see API change thread).

Apparently it should be set before including plugin.mk.

Advanced sequencer

[ButtonTrigger]: remake

The current module is obsolete since Rack 0.4.0 and the stackable wire feature.
So this module need to be improved:

• one button per output
• one label per output (require to implement a new widget?)
• one knob to define the value for per output
• one button to select the mode (continuous / trigger)

The old SVG panel is ugly and the DPI should be adjusted (see API change thread).

[ClockDivider]: new panel and layout

The old one is ugly and the DPI should be adjusted (see API change thread).
We can use the same text displayer as for Clock.

Linux Release

Please can we have a Linux release?

Recorder not working: pressing RECORD turns red blinking light off

OS: MacOS 10.13.2
Simple module pack version: (git SHA1 if builded from sources)
Module concerned: Recorder 0.5
Description: As per an earlier issue, I cannot get the recorder to work. I reduced a complicated setup to the following core modules: a VCO-1 that feeds into a VCF, whose frequency is modified by an ADSR that is triggered by an LFO-1: the output of the VCF feeds to a VCA and from there into the recorder (and also to the audio driver).

I press SELECT, which gives me the option to save the output to a file, and then the green light appears to the left of the file name. I press ARM (sometimes I have to press twice) and get the red blinking light. The I press RECORD and the red blinking light goes off. I've tried quitting VCV Rack and the results are still the same. See the attached screenshot.

Steps to reproduce: As per above. I realise you couldn't reproduce the earlier issue which was the same as this one.
