Problems Loading VOID - Cant find DSP file JAXSYN01

Post by Refrochia »

Help - has anybody had the above message when trying to load VOID?

It installed fine - even got a message to confirm it was successful but I get the above message when loading and then no sound.

I have sent Ralf an email asking for help but thought I would post here just in case its an easy fix.

Thanks

You could try sending a forum PM to the maker of the synth & he'll hopefully be able to help you. His forum nick is fra77x

Sorted - reboot of scope did the trick - the DSP file required is installed by the OXE file. I can only presume that the plugin installs, placing the DSP file in the DSP folder but by that point is already past the point of registering what DSP files are there.

One sick synth!! :D

Scope only ever recognizes a file structure change after restarting it. :)

I can't get a sound out of it. Registered the demo but it still keeps asking for the dsp file even after several reboots.

Hi Kymeia,

I think you should reinstall the demo dev. The dsp file is included in the oxe.


cheers,

I've done that but it still won't play - the gui loads after the warning message but no sound. Thing is the dsp file is installed but it has a funny icon on it (not sure what this means) and is faded out as if it's hidden (in fact in the properties tab it's marked as hidden but it won't let me uncheck this). Here's a screenshot.

Also where is the dev file supposed to install to? It didn't show up in my synths list when I first installed it as it was in the root SFP/devices folder, not in my synths folder.

Any ideas? And what's that weird black icon on the file?

That black icon is an extended attribute. No mention on the web or microsoft help about them (after a quick scan)

Go into Windows Explorer - navigate to the app\dsp folder for your scope install and along the top where the columns are (name, size, type etc) find a gap next to the end column and click the right mouse button over that area. Select attribute so it has a tick next to it. The attribute column will now be displayed. Click the column to sort it and you be able to see a bunch of files with the "o" attribute.

Copy these files to a different drive then COPY back dont cut otherwise the attribute will remain. This gets rid of it for me :P

On your screenshot the file looks lighter than the ones above - this would suggest it is hidden - if this is the case then scope aint gonna find it. Remove this first before trying the above (tick box is on the properties page of the file in question).

Hope this helps.

Just read your post again.

Its greyed out because it has the system file attrib set:

Goto command prompt and navigate to the folder where it is and type

attrib -s -h *.dsp

This will remove both system and hidden attribs for all dsp files in that folder

i had the same trouble.

yes the oxe installers seem to be too slow or something for modern multi threaded CPUs, you can get this batch file. from valis

it goes through all your scope files and change the attributes. worked great!
especially since the name of the dsp is sometimes not an actual filename identifiable in the error.
