Well, I've gotten it to freeze up several times, always when playing via "Graphic Play" I've got a Rom3 Gs, with 3megs, Sonic Blaster in whichever slot, SCSI card usually in 7, printer card sometimes in 1, modem mosttimes hooked up via modem port... Symptoms vary, depending upon molecule state. a) Mouse dies. Song finishes, but since the mouse is dead, no way to close window to quit or load another song in. Can't get to Control Panel. Effective crash. b) Song/mouse dies. Song stops when it has played everything in the buffer, then nothing else disturbs it. Can't get to Control Panel. Effective crash. c) Crash into monitor. Hasn't happened more than once. Crash. Note that this is only when you use "Graphic Play," the system works just fine if you leave that alone. I imagine that there's a conflict with the ROM3....also imagine that it's been fixed in ver .8.... --Chan (can you tell I've been beta testing? :) ................

Actually, before anyone tells me to copy it to RAMdisk, I tried that, and instead of not getting the tools, it gives me another error ($0201?) and gives me the option to rebbot, exec START, etc...

You SHOULD have all the necessary SoundSmith files. Do you have all the tool sets on your system disk? I don't know which ones Soundsmith needs. Or maybe it requires system 5.0... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Howard C.

For all the people having problems getting SoundSmith to work: If your setup includes only 1 3.5" drive and 1.25Meg or less ram, you can do like I did and create a new start-up disk containing the SoundSmith files. To do this, make a copy of the system disk, remove the following files to make room: Basic.system and Basic.Launcher, P8, ( all files associated with the CDEV's and any other DA's), also remove all fonts using the Installer on system tools disk. Now copy all SoundSmith files to a folder on the root directory. Boot this disk, and when from the desk top open the SoundSmith application. ( Also as a precaution you might need to deallocate ram used for a Ram disk.) Good luck! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ .......jeff stine <jls139@psuvm.psu.edu> ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

actualy, I think you have to have to sound tool on the system disk. tool32 or something like that.

Hmm, yes. I've traced the problem back to this sider (datamac) drive I've got. Apparently the driver that GS/OS generates has a problem or two, and it causes random freezes. (Actually, not _quite_ random. I can reliably dupicate it now) Does anyone out there have GS/OS drivers for the Sider drives? I've got the Prodos chip from Advance Tech, but they didn't include any GS/OS drivers or nuthin'. --Chan ("Here, let's use it as a doorstop." "Can't, man. Too many PCs in the way..") ................

In-Reply-To: message from cwilson@NISC.SRI.COM Yes, I have had the same problem on my soundsmith. I believe that it is a Rom 3 associated problem. Whenever you use the graphic play and hit a key to exit it will put you in keyboard only mode. After this accurs you cannot do anything but edit the song. I have tried this on other GS' and it seems to work fine...

In-Reply-To: message from huang@husc4.HARVARD.EDU I believe that you have a bad copy, I DL that and i got a lot of trash the first time I played it (The junk in the bottom part of the screen), I think I resolved it by recopying it, don't know what it actually did but it worked.
