Troubleshooting

It is not uncommon to get the following message when uploading your score and instrument files:

“There has been an error during the simulation”

There may be a range of reasons for this. Below is a quick checklist of potential issues.

General Issues

• Semicolons! All lines should be terminated by one (prior to any inline comments)
• Arrays do not include commas, e.g. string_def = [0.68 1 12.1 0.0002 15 5];. Functions do include commas, e.g. event_gen(exc, 1, 0.5, 0.8, 0.001, 2, 1);

Score Issues

• Make sure you are not trying to excite a string that doesn’t exist: check the score and instrument files to make sure you are never trying to pluck string 4 on a 3-string instrument.
• Make sure you are not trying to output at a time that is greater than your Tf variable.

Instrument Issues

• Remember to include itnum = 20
• Make sure you have the same number of pan positions as you have output positions
• Make sure you are not outputting on a string that doesn’t exist in the string_def
• Make sure you have exactly six parameters for each element of the string_def
• Make sure there are semicolons between each set of six parameters for the string_def
