Now when I try it with 6.54, it won't compile, saying that it has run out of sample memory at some time. (It still works with 6.53, I checked that.)

I can get it to work by removing a Sound at the beginning that was used to clear out some MemoryWriters so they won't have junk in them when I do the performance.

So, I have two questions. Why won't the Timeline work as it did in 6.53? Is it a change in the scheduler or something? I've had this problem several times in the past where something won't compile with a newer version of Kyma. But this is the first time it actually affected a piece which I need for a performance.

Secondly, why do I have to explicitly record silence into a named MemoryWriter buffer before I use it? Seems like this would be the default operation, or at least there should be a pre-zero option like in the delay lines.

For example, I play my Timeline to try it out, and in the process some audio gets written into a MemoryWriter. I stop playback, then re-compile. The MemoryWriter will contain data from the previous use.

Compiling a different Sound then going back to the Timeline doesn't seem to guarantee the MemoryWriter will be forgetten. Would initalizing the DSP work? (Seems like a hassle, and one runs the risk of the word "Kyma" booming through the PA.)

Any suggestions?

(I could send you the Timeline, but when I archive it, it is 40M bytes. There are a lot of audio samples. Maybe I could compress it.)
