Nice sounds! Are you using an external input as the source material for softcut, or norns synth engines? Either way, nice work :slight_smile:

piano sample and kalimba for the first two, operator for the second two. anachronism, dirge, and assonance doing the processing. the trick was that the voices feeding back were reading and writing to the same buffer, and passing through dirge repeatedly, which gets weird.

I’m getting the Error 126 when trying to load the windows versions. some looking around seems to suggest a dll i’m missing.

paging @taubaland for this, as I’ve not yet messed with windows myself

Hi @zaqwithaq,

As far as I can tell, the reason it isn’t working for you is a lack of a Microsoft VS Redistributable.

Try installing from here:

Hey,

Just checking if this worked? Not sure if I need to look into to the Windows version more!

If anyone can chime in with if they have the Windows version working apart from me?

#41

Just coming into this (after interviewing Andrew…). It’s been a minute since I messed with softcut on the norns, and I’d like to try this in Max. I got a good compile using the 8.0.3 SDK, but the test patch doesn’t do much for me.

What’s a good step-by-step testing procedure to figure out if I’ve got it? It just might be that I don’t know (or can’t remember) what I’m supposed to do…

the compiled binaries are under releases if you want to try that first ! there are a couple things that need to be initialized to get it going - I think they’re in the help patcher but it’s been a sec

Ekphras might be a better test/reference than the help patcher, it’s literally just all the ins/outs plugged into a m4l device

#43

Yeah, man - that helps. Interesting to see the softcut parameters laid out like that…

tiny update: PR’d a phase poll message (get_position) and a data outlet to go with it. will test further via new app but it probably works ! !

@Taubaland I"m having difficulty getting the Windows builds of softcut to load. Whenever I instantiate it, I get the dreaded Error 126. I’ve installed the latest VC++ redist per your suggestion above, but still no joy. Any other ideas?

@FinWanker,

On a stackoverflow thread, I saw that it recommended using a dependency walker to determine what dll’s are required. After running on my machine, I saw that I needed:

MAXAPI.DLL
MAXAUDIO.DLL
KERNEL32.DLL
MSVCP140D.DLL
VCRUNTIME140D.DLL
UCRTBASED.DLL

Maybe try installing it at running on your system to determine if all the required dependencies are installed?

Hmm…appear to be missing the MAXAPI.DLL, MAXAUDIO.DLL, and the URCTBASED.DLL.

#48

So I was also missing maxaudio and maxapi, but I’m guessing they are used by maxmsp. Hopefully finding urctbased.dll fixes it.

It’s odd that I need to install either VC++ Tools or the Windows 10 SDK to get this run. Is this an issue with the compilation?

#50

Quite possibly.

Leave it with me, I’ll try and get something else out.

#51

Can you please give that a go and see if there’s any improvement?

softcut~.mxe64 (33.5 KB)

#52

Well, it loads without error, but M4L devices that use it (e.g. ekphras) still don’t work. Thanks for the help though.

#53

@Taubaland I was able to get anachronism working smoothly on windows with the latest file you’ve posted.

Thanks for letting me know!

Any luck with your setup @FinWanker?
