I was hoping to use the clip launcher for a performance next week but there have been a few issues getting in the way. For context, all clips are set to legato, no launch quantization, and launch style is toggle.
- The biggest issue is that changing clips will occasionally crash Ardour. This seems to happen when a clip is running and another clip is cued up to launch in the same track. The console output just reports a segfault. This was rare at first but seems to be increasingly frequent.
- Stopping a clip seems to be quantized even if the clip itself is not – there is a delay between cueing the stop and the clip stopping. This happens whether the stop is cued by toggling the clip off, cueing up an empty clip, or cueing up the “stop all clips in this track” space.
- Disabling time stretching could be easier, and it could maybe be more apparent whether time stretching is / isn’t applied (I spent a bunch of time wondering why my long tone clips sounded warbley before I realized). It would be nice if there was an option to enable/disable time stretching (and legato and isolate) for all clips in a track or for selected clips.
Thanks!
