phillipm Member	posted 16 March 2014 13:45 Tried to launch Kyma today for the first time this year. Nothing but hard crashes. Remembered that I'd updated my laptop to Mavericks ... and that there was a new version of Kyma released last month. So ... I just downloaded and installed the latest version of Kyma (complete with firmware upgrade for Pacarana). Great. Program launches and connections recognized. BUT (and it's a BIG one) ... The piece I am performing in just a few days will not run at all (out of realtime). Worst yet, the only scheduled rehearsal with my player is tomorrow. [To be fair, even on the older version of Kyma and the older firmware, it was on the edge. (Status window said I "might have exceeded..." But it always ran just fine.) But now I get nothing but click and pops.] I still have an old non-Mavericks laptop that I could use, but I don't know about the feasibility of going backwards on the firmware update. Anyone tried this with success? Anyone got any other ideas, other than to off-load a pile of (very cool) realtime CrossSynthesis to fixed audio files? Anyone else experiencing a loss of realtime output with timelines or sounds that ran OK before this last update? [This message has been edited by phillipm (edited 16 March 2014).] IP: Logged
SSC Administrator	posted 16 March 2014 14:52 Since it is only 24 hours before a performance, using your old laptop and back-dating the firmware is the solution of choice. After the performance, you can send us the Timeline by email and we can make some recommendations on optimizing it. IP: Logged
phillipm Member	posted 16 March 2014 16:31 Thanks for the quick reply. Backdating the firmware worked fine. The Timeline is now fully functional. All I need to do now is reacquaint myself what all I did during live performance. ;-) IP: Logged
BardetSamy Member	posted 17 March 2014 15:25 Hi SSC, I have the same problem with the Prototype Cross filter short stereo... It was the same with the older firmware... In the Dsp Status only the first one is full ? And i have the message " Not in real time ", and the resulting sound is pops or clicks. I 've noticed that my Pacarana seems a bit slower too... Best, Samy [This message has been edited by BardetSamy (edited 17 March 2014).] IP: Logged
SSC Administrator	posted 17 March 2014 16:46 Hi Samy, Try setting the ResponseDuration to 0.1 s for the CrossFilter_Short-Stereo. On CrossFilter_Long-Stereo you can use longer ResponseDurations (or set it to "maximum") and can also check the AllowLongerDurations box. IP: Logged
