Bug: Play v1.4.1 freezes when exporting "Current Pattern Stems"

Bug Description

I have a little project and whenever I go to Settings > File > Export > Current Pattern Stems the progress bar doesn’t progress and the Play just freezes.

Reproduction Steps

  1. Start up Play
  2. Load project
  3. Go to Settings > File > Export > Current Pattern Stems
  4. :infinity: … Have waited 20 minutes+ I have to pull the plug and restart the Play to get it to become responsive again.

Occurrence

Always, for this project.

Found in

  • Version: 1.4.1
  • Build: N/A?

Attachments

Happy to provide the project, privately, to Polyend staff.

On the SD I get zero-byte WAV files.

I tried loading an earlier “Save As” of the same project, with fewer samples, and it also freezes.

When I try exporting the factory demo project “Acoustic”, that works.

Have sent the project through to support, for testing :v:

Hi @peter-9486 Thank you for reporting this bug. We are sorry you’re experiencing issues while using Play. We will do our best to resolve it and notify you when it’s ready.

Hello @borsuk! Thank you so much.

I solved it, I think! After trying lots of things related to samples and filenames, I realised that my project had one midi track. When I delete the track… the export works!

@peter-9486 It also worked for me. It will help us a lot. Thank you :slight_smile:

@borsuk you’re so welcome. Thanks for creating this awesome machine.

I tried creating a new project with audio and a single midi track, but that didn’t trigger the bug. So… it seems to be something about the midi track in my project, specifically. Not sure what… :slight_smile:

Ah, @borsuk, I probably know what happened! I had copied audio (sample) notes to my midi track! So maybe something audio-related got copied along, making the export try to export the midi track, and hence freeze?

I’m getting the same issue. A pattern with a mixture of audio and midi and it hangs on export.
Unplugged the midi cable…same result.
Tried saving the project and deleting all midi data and it exports the stems okay…if a little glacial.

Bit disappointed to be honest. For me it’s limiting.
Imagine if Play exported the midi data too…that’d really open up this machine for some serious work.

@here I’m glad to inform you that this bug was fixed in the Play 1.4.2 firmware update :slight_smile:
