[1.10.x] Kerbal Synth - Synthesizer in KSP

[AST_SIL_834]

 Synthesizer for Kerbal Space Program
 This mod adds a customizable synthesizer block in Utility category.

Note: Click PlayStart to activate it, then you can play around with other options.

Controlling via action groups and controllers are supported.

Dependencies
- Module Manager
- Indicator Lights (Optional, Recommended)

Note : If Indicator Lights is not installed, the note block will have the exactly same model as "The Not-Rockomax Micronode". If Indicator Lights is installed, then the note block will have a fancy glowing frame and adjustable color. So it's highly recommended to install Indicator Lights.

Wow..

[SpaceFace545]

noteblock?

[Beetlecat]

What the heck?

[DeadJohn]

Subscribing to thread, so I know when someone builds a platform minigame with these blocks.

[Cyne]

Wow, that looks fun... gonna give it a try!

[HansAcker]

Let the dumpling tanks roll! I have something new to build on the weekend. Thanks for this mod

My thoughts exactly

[HansAcker]

On a Linux install, I get a StackOverflowException error when trying to enter the VAB and KSP stops:

Spoiler

[EXC] StackOverflowException: The requested operation caused a stack overflow.
        KerbalSynth.AudioManager.OnAudioFilterRead (System.Single[] data, System.Int32 channels) (at <4707ad8c5a9349d0881b7a0e4c9f704d>:0)
        UnityEngine.DebugLogHandler:LogException(Exception, Object)
        ModuleManager.UnityLogHandle.InterceptLogHandler:LogException(Exception, Object)
        System.Object:__icall_wrapper_ves_icall_object_new_specific(IntPtr)
        KerbalSynth.AudioManager:OnAudioFilterRead(Single[], Int32)

 

Does anyone else see this? I'll try to grab a better log with reduced and cleaned mod list later.

Oh and while I'm looking at it, this is an improper use of "FOR" and should be "NEEDS":

Spoiler

// add light if IndicatorLights exists
@PART[NoteBlock]:FOR[IndicatorLights] {

 

This forces "IndicatorLights" to exist and applies the config regardless, resulting in some probably harmless errors because of missing models and modules. It's not the source of the StackOverflow, though.

It's only a matter of time before someone builds that marble machine using this and KSP robotic parts.

thx for feedback!

 

This is OnAudioFilterRead method:

        public void OnAudioFilterRead(float[] data, int channels)
        {
            if (canPlay)
            {
                buzzers.ForEach(b =>
                {
                    if (!b.Idle) b.GenerateAudio(data, channels);
                });
            }
        }

When entering VAB, buzzers is initialized as an empty list so this method should be doing nothing. So maybe the exception is triggered outside the method, when Unity tries to call OnAudioFilterRead from its Messaging System. If so, this could be Unity's problem.

I'm not familiar with linux so I currently have no idea why this goes wrong in linux.

Nice to see, that creative and odd modding community is still alive.

Looks like it. The stack overflow already happens when the function is entered, a Debug.Log call at the start of the function does not log anything. It could be a quirk of Unity on this particular Linux distribution (Linux Mint "Serena" is already outdated a bit). I'll run tests on a more recent distribution. Everything works fine under Windows 10.

I installed this mod in 1.9.1 with IndicatorLights plus community extensions and got a weird bug- the lights showed up, but the cube inside did not and it didn't work at all; I couldn't even remove the parts once they were placed. It worked fine in 1.9.1 when there were no other mods installed but I didn't try adding IndicatorLights to that (yet) but will do that to see if I can replicate the problem.
