SooperLooper Forum

Hi - I've just emerged sooperlooper from the gentoo proaudio overlay and get the following error on starting

david@music ~ $ slgui
slgui: our URL is osc.udp://music:13994/
execing: 'sooperlooper -q -U osc.udp://music:13994/ -p 9951 -l 1 -c 2 -t 40 -m "/home/david/.sooperlooper/default_midi.slb"'

It then loses the connection to the engine after about 15s. Any help please?

Thanks

Update - oddly SL works fine if Ardour (recording software) is running

Ah, were you starting Jack before running slgui? Sometimes the jack autostart doesn't work right.

yes - sooperlooper appears in jack connection bay but disconnects from gui

Problem solved (no idea how ) after a couple of "emerge --update --deep world" so some dependency must have been broken...
