Title: GR-55 Floorboard software crashes a lot
Post by: BasV on February 11, 2012, 12:45:22 PM
Hi,

I have the GR-55 floorboard software installed on my Mac (Snow Leopard). The software look good, but it crashes a lot of times. Also, when I try open the help menu, nothing happens.
Does anyone have the same kind of issues with it ?

Cheers,
Bas.

Be sure you are using the latest correct version for you operating system

Hi Elantric,

I'm using OSX 10.6.8 (SL) and floorboard version 20110929, is that the latest correct version ? The sourceforge.net only gives me this version (haven't seen any others...)

Cheers,
Bas.

EDIT: I just saw other version, one later version (published yesterday 10th Feb??) which appears to be for both SL and Lion, except that version doesn't even start at all, crashes 100% at startup.

just posted a new mac lion & SL version yesterday, but forgot to include the framework files.
Will fix that one tommorrow,
the older version is for Tiger to Leopard (i86 & ppc) but 32 bit only.

Hi Gumtown, i will try the new version when you posted, it will most likely solve a lot of the crashes, but if it does, does it help you to send the crash reports ? I will gladly help to improve it, after all, it's a very well designed editor :-)

I tried the new version a couple of times, but still regular crashes although there seem to be slightly less of 'm. Looking at the crash report it looks like something is going wrong by working with the fonts in the application. Do you want to send me crash reports to you ?

Cheers,
Bas.

Can you tell me if it crashes on startup, or when "connected" to the GR-55 only, or just at random intervals.
Title: Re: GR-55 Floorboard software crashes a lot
Post by: teleholic on February 14, 2012, 10:14:22 AM
Gumtown, I booted into 64-bit (SL 10.6.2) mode just to test the latest version you put up and it still crashes at startup...the midi device not setup box appears and beach-balls on the startup screen...the 32 bit universal version works fine...Thanks!

It starts up just fine and connects to the gr55. I can work with it for a while and usually, when selecting a parch in list on the left, it waits like 2 seconds and then crashes. It seems to be random. I will save the crashreports from now on and send them to you.

Cheers,
Bas

Might try disabling Wi-Fi and see if that makes an impact.

I must disable Wi-Fi on my Mac's anytime I'm playing with Audio or recording (or working with MIDI ) - or else i can get random stutters, or random noises.

Disabling wifi, that's odd, then again, one can never how weird bugs can be (trust me, i have some experience in this area haha)
I'll try it, see if it makes a difference.

Gumtown, I have two crash reports for you, i hope they will provide some kind of a clue.

Bas

Same problem in both crash reports, after the midi sysx data has been dispatched, possibly the midi device is not ready from the last dispatch.
Might need to slow down the mac version midi response timings.

Anyone else with the same issue on the mac????

I'm quite happy with Leopard 10.5

I have no interest in LION - as most of my apps do not run on it.

Hi Elantric,

I'm working with Snow Leopard and very content with it. I did my research on LION and indeed as you stated, doesn't seem to be wise to upgrade to it at this point in time. I've seen a lot of complaint by musicians having trouble with their daw's, equipment, drivers, etc. (some even mentioned that Lion is Mac's Vista.....)

Cheers,
Bas.

Totally agree

And looks like its about to get worse:

http://createdigitalmusic.com/2012/02/what-mountain-lion-will-probably-mean-to-you-as-pro-creative-users/ (http://createdigitalmusic.com/2012/02/what-mountain-lion-will-probably-mean-to-you-as-pro-creative-users/)

I hear a lot of pro users afraid that Mac OS X will suddenly turn into iOS, making their computer into a giant, hinged phone they can't use any more. Mountain Lion, the update Apple introduced privately to a handful of journalists hand-picked by their PR, may throw more fuel on those fears. Apple brought over some familiar features from iOS to Mac OS, and even prods users into installing apps from the App Store or containing some special developer key.

But I spend a lot of time talking to developers about what it's like to work with Mac OS, and looking at how this impacts your experience as a user. So, even though I wasn't on Apple's short list, I can say with some confidence that this announcement – unless we hear something new – most likely means:

1. You'll probably switch off this new Gatekeeper feature and use whatever software you want.

2. The name "Mac OS X" will be "OS X," but you'll keep calling it the Mac. (Heck, some of you will still call it Macintosh. Just don't say "ex," okay?)

3. The notification system isn't all that different from Growl. If anything, that continues an Apple tradition of aping ideas from the third-party that goes back to the days when OS releases began with the word "System."

4. Those of you using Mac OS to make music will probably continue to do so, because the OS still has the benefits that are the reason you use it. Those of you who use other operating systems, we'll continue to look at how to get the most out of those.

That's it. Really. You can safely ignore the debate – on all sides – likely to rage about what this OS update means. The stuff that matters most to us as musicians isn't necessarily what matters to other people. (Now, you might personally decide you like iCloud and notifications and other little features; I'm just saying they don't directly impact all music software. Nor do I see any indication they'll get in the way if you don't like them – and to the extent they do, you should be able to switch them off, as in notifications.)

In fact, even if music devs decide they want to make themselves compatible with the new app safeguards without getting on the App Store, they can get a developer certificate (apparently a few minutes' work). My guess is, given almost no music devs have jumped into the App Store as distribution model, this means this changes nothing. And because those same developers usually certify their software before they say it's compatible with a new OS update – on Windows as well as on the Mac – the certificate could even be a good indication that an app was tested on Mountain Lion.

Given the overheated coverage talking about how this revolutionizes computing or turns the Mac into an iPhone or an HDTV or the spawn of all that is evil or something, I thought I'd – for once – write something a little shorter. Mac hardware and software have loads of stuff that isn't available on mobile. (For instance, I've gotten no indication yet that Thunderbolt, which is increasingly looking like the future of pro I/O in very cool ways, is coming to mobile platforms any time soon.) And the guts of Mac OS X remain the same under these surface-level changes – even if some people find them a bit creepy.

There's a lot of understandable worry about how iOS and Mac OS X – erm, "OS X" – are merging. But under the hood, it's the same OS.

For a great overview, free of lots of spin, check out Jason Snell at Macworld:

Hands on with Apple's new OS X: Mountain Lion

Apple gets a lot more attention – and more impassioned emotions – these days. But the only really fundamental change I've seen is Microsoft blocking third-party Windows desktop code on ARM. That's the kind of developer restriction that does make a platform entirely irrelevant for music development, in contrast to iOS, OS X, Windows on Intel, Linux, and even Android, all of which remain viable. I'm not saying Microsoft's decision doesn't have its own rationale – it just means you probably won't be hearing about Windows and ARM on this site after this little story.

Apple has a way of ruffling feathers – heck, I can't think of a way to make this announcement that could get people more upset. But I think in the long run, that Windows ARM decision may be more far-reaching, in that it – unlike this decision – really will cause communities of creative developers to completely ignore a platform.

If Apple does do something that causes serious problems for music development, believe me, you'll hear about it here.

The Floorboard crashes usually only when I make changes in the unit (not the Floorboard) and then ask for a Patch List summary.I use a laptop with Win xp.  It happens once in a while. to be honest, it's not a big deal, just a nuisance. Still, I'm very impressed with it!

Hi Tekrytor,
I'm pretty confident that the crash problem with floorboard will be fixed.
By the Gumtown, I seem to have less crashes now. Man, if the problem is fixed, i'm so gonna love it, i think it's even better than line6's Gearbox (i use an pod x3 for the bass side of the Chapman stick)

Another brainstorming result...
Does your Apple OS offer something like Windows program mode setting, for example, where you can set it to run a program as on a previous OS version? I do this for several   XP only apps running on Vista.

Sorry, I'm more Linux and Windows oriented, but felt compelled to pass along suggestions that helped me when I encountered similar issues on Vista last year, which were resolved after a few months and Floorboard updates. I used the workaround for several months to run the Linux version of the editor - which is very stable With the virtual machine solution, I have Linux ruining in a window under Vista, which can also be done on Macs, just in case. A fix is probably our there though.

If you're not in a hurry though, I would much rather use my precious time to play with my Chapman Stick than with random OSes. :)

Totally agree...

Ditto with a twist. The platforms we have traditionally used, the consumer PC market, (all inclusive: Windows, Mac & Linux), has been driven by the need for platforms that were adaptable to the needs of a few billion users worldwide. Users had no choice but to use one of these platforms to get email, web access and office-like apps - the primary use for most PCs. The musician/artist/scientist portion of that market was not so large but benefited from the growing demand forcing hardware prices down.

But now, with iPad and Android meeting most consumer needs in dirt cheap and quite elegant ways, the death of the cheap workstation platforms is highly likely. Most consumers do not need the connectivity or bandwidth that musicians, artists and scientists do and we will likely see our requirements ignored or at lest become more expensive to fulfill.

My advice to other 'tweakers' is to buy or build possibly your last cheap DAW workstation host now or soon, while the price-performance ratio is still affordable and while the hardware is even available. I suspect the consumer PC market will basically be discarded to Linux by iOS/Android though.

That said, there are amazing things coming out of the convergence of these platforms as Apple/MS/Google fight for the title of consumers' choice and as developers find niches for their special interests. I love my Android devices. We will certainly see more specialized audio hardware to support our niche market that takes full advantage of our recent handheld human interfaces (pads & pods, i & a) and pros will continue to buy high end custom solutions to stay on the cutting edge, some of which trickles down to us mortals. The rate of change is what is startling though. What used to take years to get to market now seems to take a few months at most. Most members of this forum would be tweakers by nature, IMO, who are enjoying the ride though. For those purists wanting the old ways, there are always the boutique gear providers, pawn shops, etc. Most musicians probably appreciate a good sound, regardless how it is sourced, and appreciate or have feet in both camps. Either way, it's a great time to be a geek musician.

I have identified a few fundimental problems with the midi I/O system in the editor, been working on re-inventing the I/O structure this week. Basically have to design a better process spooler to handle midi tasks from different areas/threads of the editor wanting midi I/O access at the same time.
Most likely due to slight differences in operating systems and platforms, the midi works fine on one platform but crashes on another.
It wasn't much of an issue until I've tried speeding things up, removing many time wasting wait states.
The GR-55 USB midi seems to be able to break past the 32.1 KHz industry standard midi speed limit, but the program still needs compatibility with legacy midi devices too.
I will keep plugging away at this, and hopefully end up with a better more reliable midi I/O system.

@ BasV: Not yet, I actually meant you. For budgetary reasons mainly, I'm still waiting for my stick to show up at a garage sale ;) Good luck, right!

Seriously, I'm a huge Tony Levin and King Crimson fan though. My exposure to the infamous 'Stick' has only been from the envious and well entertained perspective so far. With all the fantastic sounds emanating from the Chapman Stick players, and also the more recent similar instruments from other makers, it's been on my list for a few decades.

@tekrytor most 2nd hand stick are first offered on stickist.com and also Emmet Chapman (also active on sticklist) has a 2nd hand supply.
@gumtown it must be a daunting to get and keep software running on those different platforms. I'm
A software designer myself (job) but rarely dealt with 1 package for multiple platforms.
Looks like you alteady the direction for fixing it. Luckily I can use the software to an extens that is certainly has added value so i'm gonna stick (pun intended) with it :-)

Bas

Try out the latest mac SL/Lion update of GR-55FloorBoard version 20120221 (21 feb),
linux, windows and mac lion(64) updates have been done, and the mac Tiger (universal32) is following soon.
Fixed the patch name list crash, and reduced some memory consumption.
Seems to run fine on mac Lion.

Hi Gumtown,

I installed the newest version and played around with it.
I still have crashes, although there seem to be less of them again.
I'm not a hundred percent sure, but I think it typically happens when :
- GR-55 connected by USB
- Not using the floorboard for a couple of minutes (or switching to another app)
- Then, when trying to do a setting, the crash happens.

It's like as if the midi driver gets in to a sort of passive state, having to wakeup again and taking too much time for that.

Cheers,
Bas.

There is a known mac problem with Power saver, the mac shuts down the USB port the GR-55 is using, and the editor can not tell that USB port has disappeared.
Try disabling power saver settings.
Title: Re: GR-55 Floorboard software crashes a lot
Post by: BasV on February 25, 2012, 03:28:27 AM
Hi Gumtown,

I couldn't find any USB specific power saver settings, so I disabled everything and tried again.
As long as I keep working in the editor, no problem, but if I leave the editor unattended for a few minutes, it happens.
Are there any other ways to do a usb specific setting ?
I could try connecting another usb device (maybe a mouse, i use a bleutooth mouse at the moment), that keeps the usb active....
Anyways, here's the crashlog again.

Cheers,
Bas.

When i have Logic opened, floorboard doesn't crash anymore! I think because of Logic is listening to midi and probably keeps the usb alive.

Hopefully this provides a clue. I don't have Logic, so it doesn't help me. I've tried changing the energy saver settings, and the crashes have persisted through Snow Leopard and Lion, and on two different computers (MacBook Pro and Mac Mini).

When I'm editing patches I sometimes (gasp) stop editing for a few minutes and play with the patch I'm editing. Then the editor crashes when I try to resume editing. Every time.

Hello Jonathan

I can recommend getting a copy of Mainstage. In the UK it's only £20.99 ($33.00) to download from the Apple Store and is amazing value for money. The only pain is downloading the 18Gb of sound files that comes with it. With a slow broadband connection it took me getting on for half a day!

For me Floorboard was crashing in Win 7 every few minutes. I changed it to run in Compatibility Mode and now it rarely crashes -- almost never.

Press the Start button and in the field "search for programs and files" type in "compat" press enter and follow instructions for the wizard.

The GR-55FloorBoard editor will get an update soon,
currently trying to port it to Android and iPad, a new framework is being released which supports using the same source code to build on windows, mac, linux, android and IoS (iPad).

Be sure to download the most current versions which are prefixed with "beta" in the name, they have a better midi I/O system with less problems (crashes).

At first just port the existing design and see where it goes,
looks like it won't support the Roland GR-55's USB port without some special driver magic,
but will support standard class compliant (driverless) USB/midi devices.

Id be happy if MIDI I/O was the only communication path between GR-55 and IOS / Android Tablet GR-55 Floorboard Editor.

Just use this $11 USB to MIDI cable to connect the GR-55

If you are reading this, them you have most likely landed here from a Facebook post link,

The main issue in this topic was the crash only happened on the Mac version (in the year 2012), due to a bug in Osx at the time of "Lion" where the operating system kept powering down USB ports if it thought they weren't in use.
Later versions of Mac OS-X fixed this issue, and is not a problem anymore.

And if anyone does have issues, bugs to report, feature requests, or just want to say hello, the download site, editor ReadMe and editor Help section all have an email address to contact me.
It is best to contact me directly, rather than posting public complaints on some random guitar site or FB page that I will never be likely see.

Happy GR-55 editing !!
