17 uninstall/reinstall cycles, deleting Logic Pro, disabling SIP and going full nuclear wasteland with all of my remaining Audulus configs and dependencies that remained, just in case so I was sure it would be a fresh install when I put the app back on my Mac, none of it mattered.
I will include the patch below in case I made a mistake in my haste to try and fix this issue. Also, I noticed that I was having absolutely zero CPU time used by any patch, which seemed more strange, so I enabled the CPU time indicator when sound should have been coming out. I set the toggle, clicked it once, which should make a persistent sound, but there is nothing from any audio output. I made a new test patch to test this theory after 3 more uninstall/reinstall cycles, and I have included the screen capture of the strange outcome. It is the actual overall Audulus application that is not currently working to output sound or give any indication of having been interacted with when any of the control events are happening. So turning pots, hitting keys, pads, fader, etc. Upon further examination and testing since making this post, I discovered a few movable parts of the UI are able to respond to CC events after learning the channel they are to use (level, knob, toggle switch nodes all were tested working in my patches). Can anyone offer any advice or tell me what could be causing this? It appears to just be Audulus doing this, which really sucks, because my iPad is dead right now, and I was feeling super motivated and creative today, but half of my workflow is now not functioning, so there is a limited amount I am able to do.
I re-opened LP and made sure that I wasn't going crazy, and the MIDI signals work fine in that app.
Plugged and unplugged the keyboard, started the MIDI setup utility and verified that my MAC is indeed getting signals, verified by the beep as each key was released. Once I realized that LP was running, I shut that down, but I had noticed it odd that no signal messages appeared to be flowing from my MIDI keyboard node in the patch, but thought nothing of it until I realized it was not passing MIDI control signals in Audulus. Then when I wanted to test it out, I had Logic Pro running, and wondered why the sound was different than what it should be in the tutorial. I built the patch I have attached at the bottom of the post here. Hey guys, I have been having some trouble today and I don't know where to go from here, as my troubleshooting steps have led me to the conclusion that something strange is happening with Audulus 3, currently on my Mac.
