LMNTS possible bug?

#1

I search the forum for this but couldn;t find a solution. Is it a known issue?

I keep getting this error when I load lmnts. Simple patch. Midi key -> Lmnts -> output

It is possible that there is a noise exciter file missing?

Samples and other files do not automatically get copied to a SD card (and if it is not present, it would not even be possible if that should ever get added). You have to put that file there by hand. Or do you mean that file is missing from the patch source so that you cannot do that?

#3

Sure, I understand that you would have to copy samples and other external data. However, that is not my question.

My query is about the error it throws up when I instatiate the lmnts object and hit the "live" button

Everything else seems to work fine except the lmnts object.

the error says

"Patch requires file /shared/elements/smp_noise_data.raw on SDCard, but no SDCard mounted"

so I assume there is some file missing that the lmnts object needs by default but somehow is not there?

to quote the error

"requires file /shared/elements/smp_noise_data.raw"

#4

the object requires a data file, that is uploaded automatically normally, contrary to what @sevo is saying.
so either you do not have a SDCard in the axoloti, and lmnts object will not work or your sdcard is somehow not accessible. can you access it via the axoloti patcher? have you tried a format?

@lokki

You are right, I realised that it is looking for the sdcard. The card seems to be iresponsive so will buy another today and test it again later.

thank you very much for your suggestion!

I have programmed extensively on other platforms, so I am still new to this one. Will try an port my Elementary Signal Engine or at least the Waveholes (in some manner) to Axoloti. Very excited.

thanks again!

#6

@element-S ESE sounds great! Would love to see some or all of that ported to Axoloti.

#7

Ive been getting acquainted with the Axoloti environment and I think it is doable albeit with some mods to the way the Wavehole programmers are managed... Im going to spend some time over the next couple of weeks and look at it more closely. BTW thank you very much for all those lovely Mutable ports!

#8

Does the card work in the computer? The card I have been using used to be read only where the Axoloti was concerned - I always thought that was the expected behaviour. But now, after reformatting, it can be written to...

#9

@sevo
This card is definitely dead. I tried to reformat and it is not having it. Ordered new one.

Many thanks all!

oh yeah, that sounds very nice!
