It's probably a broken plugin. Did you install new ones recently? I'm trying out the plugins that come with KXStudio as standard, all are up-to-date. I noticed that the following plugins work OK: synthv1 drumkv1 helm amsynth but the following cause Ardour to crash: Calf Organ Noize Mark3r Sorcer Fa...

This is not a general problem with Ardour/kxstudio 14.04 which I use and it does not have this problem. I suggest starting Ardour at the command line and checking the terminal messages when it crashes. The only error message I get when starting Ardour from a terminal is "segmentation fault&quo...

Ardour 4.2 crashes with a segmentation fault when I double-click on a plugin in the editor mixer strip. This happens for all plugins with a custom GUI. Plugins with a generic GUI are displayed OK. This seems to be specific to KXStudio as this doesn't happen when running Ardour 4.2 on AVLinux. I inst...

So.. anyone fancy a beat slicing competition?

Hi everyone! I'm delighted to announce the brand new release of Shuriken. New features since the last release include: new user interface amplitude envelope generator with controls for attack, release, and one-shot envelopes can be exported with Akai .pgm, Hydrogen Drumkit, and SFZ files user can no...

Keyboard shortcuts for moving slice points to next/previous zero-crossing have been added (N and P respectively). Recent Projects menu now added too! Also, I was mistaken that there was an issue with the waveform not being drawn accurately. The problem was that when zoomed in to sample detail level ...

OK, good news and bad news... The good news is that zero-crossing detection has been added to Shuriken. It's an option when finding onsets/beats, plus slice points now have a context menu which allows you to move the slice point to the next/previous zero-crossing. The help doc has also been updated....

Hi paul, I've re-installed KXStudio 14.04.2 and ticked the box to use the default dark theme. I compiled Shuriken and it seems to work fine here - there's no black rectangle and the waveform displays as normal. I'm not really sure what to suggest. Perhaps you've got a graphics driver issue, though t...

Hi paul,

Sorry, I was hoping to look into it this weekend but never got the chance. I'll try again next weekend!

Copy 'n' paste now complete and pushed to GitHub along with a couple of bug fixes.

Right, I'll need to look into why the desktop theme is affecting the waveform. Thanks for flagging this up.

Sorry, I'm forgetting that regular users don't typically have all the required development packages installed. No worries, you just need to install the missing packages: automake autotools-dev libtool pkg-config libqt4-dev libqt4-opengl-dev libaubio-dev (or libaubio4-dev) - make sure it's version 0....

It might be worth compiling the latest source code as the GUI has changed alot since the last release. It's pretty easy to build Shuriken - instructions are on the GitHub page: https://github.com/rock-hopper/shuriken

If the waveform display is still all black I'll look into this at the weekend.

Hi paul, are you using the latest code from Git or a package from an earlier release? If this issue is present in the latest code I'll need to look into it before the next release.
