Midi out problem

sub_repeat · February 2, 2018, 3:28pm

Hi guys,
so here is my problem: whenever I try to call any of midi fns (midi / midi_note_on) I get this error message:

NoMethodError
ThreadDeath!
undefined method 'send_ts' for nil:NilClass

What am I doing wrong? I’m running Sonic Pi 3.1.0 on a Mac with a Steinberg UR44 soundcard.
Thank You!

Hi, sorry you’re having issues. Which version of macOS are you using?

sub_repeat · February 2, 2018, 7:00pm

Hello Sam,
no worries
It’s a 10.12.6, early 2015 MBP 13" retina

Ok, that’s odd - I’ve not seen any errors like this on 10.12 and above.

Would it be possible to paste a copy of the files:

~/.sonic-pi/log/gui.log
~/.sonic-pi/log/server-output.log
~/.sonic-pi/log/server-errors.log

Super weird - those logs look absolutely fine to me…

Would it be possible to copy the full stack trace you’re seeing when you just call midi :e1

something like this?

OK, so what I’m struggling to understand is what’s going on with port 4558 on your machine.

The logs above show that port 4558 isn’t ‘OK’, but it also doesn’t appear to report an issue - which is baffling because it really should.

Do you have anything running on port 4558? If you restart your machine does that fix things?

sub_repeat · February 2, 2018, 7:57pm

I’m pretty sure I restarted my machine when the problem occured. I also reinstalled Sonic Pi. Restarted again just a second ago - it didn’t help. Any hints on how I can check if anything is running on a specific port?

samaaron · February 2, 2018, 9:39pm

Try:

sudo lsof -i udp:4558

sub_repeat · February 2, 2018, 11:49pm

Doesn’t tell me much

Hi, I have to say that I have the same problem, same logs, same issues on MIDI

It didn’t work on Sonic Pi 3.0 either.

macOS 10.12.6, Sonic Pi 3.1

bytezen · April 6, 2018, 3:44am

I posted something that may help you out (here)[Work Around for Midi Out problem].

TL; DR;
Paste this code into the buffer that you are evaluating;
@osc_server ||= SonicPi::OSC::UDPServer.new(4559, use_decoder_cache: true) #__nosave__

Hope this helps
