[Solved] Can you crash Sonar with your mouse like so? - clocking issue post #15

No issues for me, sorry. I inserted a new midi track, selected the pencil tool, click-held and dragged all over the place with no crash. Does it do this for you every time?

no crash here either.
 

Yeah I can move the mouse start a browser, tell you all about it etc.
Sonar just dies and goes Not Responding.

Just me huh.
 
Nuts.
 
Alright then thanks for testing it for me.

Try updating your video card drivers, or if you can, switch to another card.

Ok.
 
The pencil tool is for clicking down notes. one here, one there.
If I click and drag as if to lasso select notes, the pencil tool faithfully lays down a small stream of notes before it chokes on it and freezes up. Makes a buzzing sound as the tightly packed notes sound off, then dies.
 
I'll try tonight with a small project or even blank file and report back.

I can't reproduce. If I click and drag, the note just gets longer.

I get the quarter notes as I drag. No crash.
 
How do you get it to drag as long as you want?
 
 

There is a curious thing happening here. As I posted earlier I still have no crash but not what I think should happen.
What I am experiencing only happens with Session Drummer.
Here are the steps that so far are very reproducible.
New project no name (not likely relevant)
Insert synth from synth rack (simple instrument) so far must be Session Drummer.
Load program in SD and drag a clip to the first measure.
Leave synth properties for SD open and double click the clip you drug over launching PRV (docked).
Select the pencil tool (smart tool will not reproduce).
Drag diagonally in PRV to right of notes from clip. (multiple notes are produced, this is not the case if you use smart tool).
SD synth properties begins looping a clip from the loaded program. (if you watch the SD properties window it is getting buttons selected and seems to be responding to the mouse as you drag. This is on my laptop so the location of the SD properties window is restricted with regard to the PRV).
SD will start looping a clip from the program. If you clik the stop button in the SD properties it will stop.
No crash for me just a loop fest.

Session Drummer starts playing the loops if you trigger some low MIDI notes.  When I drag the MIDI clip into the trackview it seems to include a kind of "drum map",  at the bottom of the PRV are listed notes 0 - A, 1 -B, 2 -C, etc that if you draw on with the pencil they start playing that loop in Session Drummer.  Not really sure how it gets named MIDI notes like that, it's not a drum map.  Some sort of instrument feature I never use I guess.

Triggering can occur with notes in the octave below the kick drum. SD3 will also play if the start button in the SD3 transport has an orange ring around it. This links the SD3 playback to the host. Clicking the start button in the SD3 transport will toggle this feature.
 
WRT drum names in the Note pane of the PRV, this is a feature of VST2 where a host can query the note names from the plug-in. BFD3 also supports this feature. It would be nice if other manufacturers did too.
 
This all would have made a good separate thread as it will likely get lost in this one.

I am flattered that you call this adventure good. I stand in awe of what you know of this environment's crevices (so intimately)(censor that). Thank you for your diligence. I've not only learned one new thing. I have learned one I can use. Here's a a layup for Craig some slow Friday.
 
I suppose I cannot create a new thread that quotes part of a different thread. Or I can do it the hard way. Just because you made it special for me.
 
I would have professed my crush sooner but I was schooled for not being a hipster, and missing the exception to the life's guiding principle that "sometimes a cigar is just a cigar".
