Unsupported instrument #71

Closed severak closed 3 years ago

severak commented 3 years ago

I am not able to play anything or to save is as audio.

Error message is:

Unsupported instrument: Piano 1 bank #0 preset#

Also when this message is thrown, it looks like it's improssible to close player window.

Thank you for reporting this. However I need some more information to reproduce the problem.

Did you load any soundfont? If yes, which one?
Can you provide the file you imported?
Which file extension and Audio Export Settings did you use for the export?
Which OS and Java version do you use?

Did you load any soundfont? If yes, which one?

it don't work both with and without soundfont. When I used soundfont, I used tiny_Carillon.sf2 and GeneralUser GS MuseScore v1.442.sf2 (this is from MuseScore website)

Can you provide the file you imported?

https://github.com/truj/midica/blob/master/examples/old_macdonald_had_a_farm.midica

(and some Alda files I have on disc)

Which file extension and Audio Export Settings did you use for the export?

wav

Which OS and Java version do you use?

Windows 7

java version "1.8.0_261" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_261-b12) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.261-b12, mixed mode)

On Windows I can reproduce the problem. (I use Linux usually.) It occurs in the player as well. Seems to be a gervill-related problem. I'll check that.

truj commented 3 years ago

On windows, gervill uses a default DLS soundbank instead of a default SF2 soundbank. DLS is not yet supported in Midica. Probably it will take me a few days to fix this.

Until then, the following workarounds are possible:

use 1.3.2: https://github.com/truj/midica/releases/tag/1.3.2 (if you don't need audio export)
use a different OS than Windows (if you need audio export)

truj commented 3 years ago

I think I fixed it. At least it's now running for me in the following combinations:

Windows 10 / Java 13
Linux / OpenJDK 8
Linux / OpenJDK 16
Linux / Oracle Java 8

Can you please try out if your combination (Windows 7 / Java 1.8) works as well with release 1.4.1

severak commented 3 years ago

Now everything works. Thanks for fixing.
