having some problems here this morning. Whenever I run any sound from either the prototypes or any other sound I've created, almost immediately after hitting Ctrl+Space Kyma stops running and I get a message "Kyma X application has stopped working" with an option to force close the app.

I can open samples in the sample editor and sometimes play them from the sound browser but the app freezes not long after as well.

Using Win7 64bit.

Nothing had been changed on the system at all between last successful operation. I had been working in Kyma for the previous two or three days without any real issues and had shut down the system (as I usually do) at the end of the day by powering down everything and then switching the main supply to the studio off. I came back in next morning and noticed the problem as soon as I started working.

At first I thought it was related to the sound I had been working on which was pushing the processor but I backed of it's polyphony and was getting the same results. Previously I would get an OORT error and I might have to either initialise the DSP or just run something like the Clicks sound and it would calm down but this time the app was crashing almost immediately on run of the sound - the sound appears to compile and load fine but the app crashes.
At this point I started checking playing sounds in other ways (from the browser, opening and playing something within a sound file etc and observed the same app crashing immediately on running any sound.

Samples seem to play fine through the browser, I can drag a sample into a sound file and play it from the sound file no problem but if I run the disk player prototype Kyma crashes.

I did test starting Kyma with Caps lock on (sorry, I should have mentioned that) but no change.


The last software installs on this PC were the new video card software (March 3), two Microsoft XML service packs via windows update (March 2) and Java 7 Update 17 (March 8).

My Kyma folder is left exactly as it was installed and patched by updates. I keep my work and a copy of the sound library, expressions and any other folders from the Kyma folder I made any mods to in a separate folder. Five files in my work folder have been modified between 9 March and today. I can forward those if you like.
