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.
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.
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?
