Importing a single partial folder works, a folder with more than one partial crashes the DAW
Environment:
- Ableton Live 12.2.6, Ableton Live Beta 12.3b13
- Sumu 1.1.3, Vutu 0.9.9
- VST3
- Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC
Steps to reproduce:
1. import a folder directory that has more than one .utu file in it
Reproducibility:
Every time. It doesn't matter if I'm trying to overwrite an existing import directory, or if I've deleted all imports and try to import fresh
Expected result:
The utu files would be imported and converted correctly
Actual result:
Two different version of ableton crash
Evidence:
Would have to capture video to show the crash
Attempted Solutions:
- multiple folder configurations and different directory depths
- eliminated all non-letter characters from file names
- create additional .utu's in case of corruption
Additional Comments:
The pain of renavigating directories made this very frustrating to test. The entire import process is frankly bad. I'm not excited to do future testing or imports.
I've updated and have the same issue as tomi and bastiaan - no crash, but no import. Sorry this has been such a hassle, hopefully it's a step closer with the crash resolved.
I want to add an update: I downgraded to 1.1.1 and I can confirm that for my system re-importing the same partials does not cause a crash. 1.0 also works fine.
Doing more testing I can't even add a single .utu file now, after clearing the folder. Nothing in the environment has changed but something that worked before is now not working. I'm at a loss, but sumu crashes the DAW every time it tries to import now.
Edit: After a complete uninstall of Sumu and deletion of its app data, I was able to import a folder with two .utu files in it. I then tried to reimport the same folder after adding a third file, and it crashed the DAW again. So something is permanently breaking with the importer until a fresh install, or something like that
If it is interesting to you
I'm on board, it's usable now for sound design and resampling. I can use it as-is, I hope for better performance later. It's an exciting approach to sound generation and synthesis. *
I want to echo concerns of performance.
Windows 10, ableton 12, 16GB RAM, AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core Processor
A single sumu instance in a blank project on default patch brings CPU meter to 46 percent. About 70-80% on most patches. Some patches spike the CPU so high they become choppy. I know my PC could use a bit more RAM but the CPU is no slouch, this performance hit seems a bit much.
Aaltoverb sounds amazing but the interface, while interesting, is disruptive to use. At the very least, presets should be navigable. Perhaps a right-click could open a browser interface similar to Kaivo?
