"Eclipse" is the IDE I used to develop SpinCAD Designer. It's not the JRE itself. The Java version of Eclipse is the one you use to work on Java code. Why this issue is happening on Mac (even to me) remains a mystery. Thanks for your info. DL

OK, I tried the latest Java installer for x64 and it worked. I'm at version 21 now. The simulation playback issue on Mac remains. If someone out there wants to help debug it, let me know. By that, I mean install the Eclipse Java package on Mac and pull down the code and do "whatever" else it...

@BrooksBlackhawk I tried it on my Intel Macbook Air and can reproduce your problem, sort of. I don't get any skipping but the playback does stop after a few seconds and doesn't start up again until I restart the program. The version of Java is very old. I ran SpinCAD in debug mode but saw...

Might be worth it to check Java versions. On Windows I have: java version "18.0.1.1" 2022-04-22 Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 18.0.1.1+2-6) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 18.0.1.1+2-6, mixed mode, sharing)

@BrooksBlackhawk it's not immediately obvious what it might be. Generally speaking I make my simulator WAV files in Audacity and I'm mostly but not exclusively testing on Windows. If you want to attach one of your WAV files I can try it here. DL

@jcpst That's helpful. For some background, SpinCAD is Java based because this smart young feller named Andrew Kilpatrick released a Java simulator of the FV-1 as a library called "ElmGen". I took it and ran with it. Well, let's say I stumbled with it. I learned Java and Swing and made many...

Yeah, me too. Well, it is open source. Here's a link to a relevant discussion. I may look at it some day. https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/27267574/How-do-I-get-Java-Swing-dialog-boxes-to-all-open-on-the-Primary-screen-in-a-dual-monitor-layout.html Seriously though, I am not a...

Because a destination pin can only take one connection, there is no ambiguity as to what you want to delete. DL

Right click on the destination pin. https://holy-city-audio.gitbook.io/spincad-designer/tutorials/creating-a-patch Sorry the documentation is still incomplete, and somehow it seems a lot of screenshots are missing. When I used Gitbook for work some years back I also had trouble with...

I have no idea how he does a Shepard flanger, but were I to attempt such a thing I'd start with: 2 servo flangers with synchronized LFOs. This might be a bit tough because the LFO probably wants to be a ramp to go linearly from 0 to 1 (or vice versa) and then snap back to the other end. And...

This falls into the "may-never-finish-it-but-who-knows" category. I was working on something for work and complaining about the need for a small utility that would take me half a day to try to write because I don't do that sort of thing all the time. My boss says "see if you can get ChatGPT to...

Let's just say that the Spin IDE was last updated several major versions of Windows ago. I did chat once with the guy who wrote it.

One method for "cheap" granular delays which aren't really is just to have some fixed delay taps and then use a multichannel mixer to fade them up and down so are you are getting changing overlapping delays, simply because it's changing from one tap to the other. Try a 4-tap delay into a quad...

Well, that's interesting and it just shows to go you. Upon further analysis half of what I thought it was doing is not even there. It is like massive crossover distortion with smooth clipping on the top. If your signal is hot enough it seems okay. Well, save that version of SpinCAD along...

For reference, I don't think I've ever changed anything about "Generate Hex". It was part of the functionality I inherited from Andrew Kilpatrick. Also, don't worry about asking questions which you subsequently figure out. This is one of the best ways to debug things. If there is no risk of...

OK, this is somewhat embarrassing, although it doesn't sound like anyone else figured it out either. The "Distortion" program in the free programs area is actually based on this "T over X" concept. This is discussed/implemented in 3 different places on the Spin website with no explicit links...

I spent a bit more time looking at this last week, and improved the T/X block to behave the way it is described in the Spin Knowledge base (i.e. not filtering the final stage). I also added more detail to the "Wave Shaper" block descriptions at Gitbook (the help pages). Started trying to...

OK my curiosity got the best of me here. I went back to the original Spin Knowledge Base articles about the "T Over X" distortion (linked above in previous post). I took the SpinCAD block back to just one of these (as implemented, it was 4 in a row). I auditioned it in SpinCAD Designer and it...

What you've done there is to replicate the MO of the crossfade 1 block. It has a 6 dB dip in the middle assuming you put the same signal in both sides. Crossfade 2 has a 6 dB bump in the middle. Crossfade 3, which I finally got working earlier this year, gets to 0 dB at the middle and ends...

The 3 dynamics blocks (they are described as limiters) in SpinCAD were taken straight out of Spin's free programs and don't represent a deep understanding of the subject on my part. There's actually a fairly decent section in the Spin Knowledge Base about making an adjustable dynamics...
