AMS looks like the answer to my dreams, except that I've never been
able to get it working - 3 different machines, 3 years, 3 different
distros (all numbers approximate), it segfaults within about 5 minutes
of playing around. Currently trying to get version 2.0.1 it working on
Arch64 (AMD) with jack. First VCO appears OK. Second VCO causes a
segfault, and a scope causes a freeze-up.
SO the question is - does anybody have a different experience to me?
Fons describes it as 'incredibly versatile', which suggests he managed
to get it to run for longer than 5 minutes without crashing, but is it
actually usable for anything? If so, maybe I'll try again next year
with a different machine and a different distro...

I have used ams to records many hours of experiments with sound.
You may be finding issues with your jack settings.

I don't know how versatile it is, not being much of a synth player, but
ams seems to work ok here on Arch64. I just installed ams 2.0.1-2 from
AUR and loaded a demo patch hooked up keyboard and all go. It did
segfault when I tried to load patch which used a plugin I didn't have
installed but worked fine after installed required plugin. Which version
of jack are you using?

Have used it occasionally for several years now, on 2-3 different
distros, and it's worked fine. I've used v1.8.8 (Debian Lenny) mostly,
but I just tried v2.0.1-5 from Aptodsid (Debian Sid) and it worked fine.

It is incredibly versatile, always seems to me like the ultimate Moog. ;-)

Hi Mark,
what are the error messages if you open ams in the terminal?:
ams -J
or
ams -A
for jack or alsa,
ams -h
for help.

It has been running on this machine (at the CdM) since monday morning
and with dozens of quite complex patches.
Ciao,

Yes, I have for some 8 years now.
I use AMS on UBUNTU, Suse and Fedora installed as a distro-package but
in most cases build from source. Always with Jack. with very differnt
machines and interfaces.
It is not absolutely rock-solid but in 99 of 100 sessions it did, as
expected, seq-faults are too seldom to remember.

I even used it for live-gis wich means: I trust it to run for some 10h
under heavy load(laencies below 5ms together with many other
synths/samplers/seqs) without unwanted surprises.
If so, maybe I'll try again next year

Maybe you should try some of the demo-patches available under
/usr/share/doc/ams and/or on the internetz.
I usually do not build patches completely from scratch but use to open a
patch known to work and modifying it as needed.
