LMMS • Forums

I've been using LMMS for about a year and a half now, but within the past week, everything I try to export that has a soundfont stops at 9%. It's always this number, but projects that don't use any sf2 files export fine to my knowledge. The cause may be something else, but testing suggests the soundfonts are the issue. How can I fix this?

try to export that has a soundfont stops at 9%.

When you say 'soundfont', does that mean every soundfont, or is this limited to one specific soundfont ?

Have that soundfont exported earlier without problem?

Also please post your:
* OS (+service-pack-version)
* lmms version

As far as I know, none of my soundfonts will export.

Also please post your:
* OS (+service-pack-version)
* lmms version

I'm using LMMS on Windows, the version is 1607
(let me know if I gave the wrong type of information, I'm terrible with computers I tried my best with Google though, lol)

The version of LMMS is 1.1.3, 32 bit.

Thank you for replying!

i get VSTs that sometimes crash during render & stop outputting, but never a soundfont

ok 1607 appears to be windows10, i would have liked to know if its a home ed or one of the others, but nwm

What i would like you to do now is:
open the project Skiessi-Onion.mmpz from the Demo-project-folder: //projects\cool_songs/
now, in the lead track
* insert your soundfont (just drag it in) then plat the song
Does it replay in lmms correctly?

After that export the song
Does it export correctly?

Yes, it replays correctly.

Yes, it also exports correctly.

Also, just a note that I tried exporting the files that won't export after removing every soundfont instrument, and they would export all the way just fine. Keeping even one soundfont caused them to stop at some multiple of 9% (usually 18% if it wasn't just the normal 9%).

And that is with the soundfont that caused problems?
Remember, i asked you to insert the trouble-soundfont Into Onion.mmpz, and then export, and that was what you did, and now it does export the whole track?

If so this is so strange that i need to see the project
upload the project, AS MMP! -and send me the link as PM (just right-click my name in byline and choose Contact musikBear), i will take a look at it

To Save as MMP:
* Open project
* File | save-as
* chose a name... 'xyzzxy.mmp'
press save
You can upload on any file-host like google drive
I will ofcause respect your rights

Is your project meant to have a time-signature change at bar 4?
It is a hidden (global) automation, and from 2/2 to 4/4
Have you intended this change, and made that on purpose?

This time-signature shift, is also the reason for the export fail. its a known bug
