[Qmidiarp-devel] Some feedback on QMidiArp 0.4.1

[Louigi V. <lou...@gm...>]

Hey everybody!

Just got my hands on QMidiArp 0.4.1, using it on Ubuntu 10.04.
This is a fantastic piece of software, however, lack of stability and a
"random stop" bug make it virtually unusable in its current state. I would
like to report both problems.

1. Random crashes.
QMidiArp crashes often, in my experience always as a reaction to an action,
not by itself. Actions, however, are different - it may be moving a slider
or creating a new module. Crashes happen fairly often, rarely have I closed
QMidiArp myself, usually it just crashes within 3-5 minutes of work.

2. Random stops.
QMidiArp, after playing for 15-30 seconds would suddenly stop. The play
button is pressed, so in order to restart you have to click on Play to
change it to stopped state and then press play again. After 15-30 seconds
QMidiArp stops again. In case this info could be useful, the first time I
started QMidiArp, it did not stop and I actually played with it for several
minutes until it crashed due to me moving a slider in one of the modules,
but all subsequent uses of the program featured random stopping.


I am available to test the app. It is a very promising tool and I would be
happy to help out any way I can. I do dream to actually start using QMidiArp
on stage as soon as possible.
