Patch using Noise Plethora program switching freezes

This patch runs with 90% CPU usage at 24 kHz sample rate, but after a few minutes it freezes and MM becomes unresponsive. The patch uses Befaco’s Noise Plethora with switching of programs in both channels A & B. I seem to recall that this was raised as an issue elsewhere. Is a fix in the pipeline?

Yes, we do have a fix for that!
It’s still in Beta, though but please try it:

https://github.com/4ms/metamodule/releases/download/firmware-v1.4.0-beta-2/metamodule-firmware-v1.4.0-beta-2-firmware-assets.zip

It runs your patch, though I have to set block size to 256 for it to not occasionally go over 99% (at 24kHz).

Also it looks at least in two places, two outputs were driving a single input, which VCV rack allows but the MM does not. I need to have it produce a warning or something if it detects this.
The two places I saw were the NoisePlethora Algorithm A Out and Gritty Noise Out were both connected to a VCA Mixer Input 1. Similarly, Algorithm B and Filtered Noise were connected to the other VCA Mixer Input 1.
What happens if you run that on the MM, it just picks one of the jacks to use. So in this case it was ignoring the Algorithm outs and just using the noise outputs

Hi Dan

I’ve been running this beta that you posted here and it has seemed to fix the crash issues that I’ve been having with the Beefaco Modules

Been running for 20min without a crash yet and constantly been playing / changing between the Knob Sets without problems .

Thank You :slight_smile:

Terrific, thanks. And v useful to know about two outputs connected to one input.
