Summary0007769: Consistent crashes when playing a certain session
DescriptionAfter recent Manjaro update I have Ardour freezing randomly during playback in a particular session.
I tested other session and it's fine.

I don't see a connection to any particular faulty plug-in though.

I'm attaching the GDB backtrace and the session in question (I had to remove all audio interchange to reduce the upload size).
Steps To Reproduce1. Open the attached session.
2. Start playback.
3. Wait for the crash.

The crash is in a LV2 plugin. Load the session with "Safe Mode: disable all plugins".

As is, this backtracke of optimized builds doesn't provide a clue to he cause of the issue. A debug version of Ardour and the plugin with debug-symbols might be able to shed some more light.

The main issue is the Piano track: a combination of MIDI-Strum (sending unordered events) and MDA-Piano causing memory-corruption if it receives MIDI events that are not sorted by time.

Thanks, x42!

I hould be able torestore this project to a working state knowing this.

How have you found out what's the problem?

Also: is that a problem in MDA Piano or MIDI Strum? Or both maybe?

MDA-piano.lv2 causes crashes when it receives MIDI events that are not correctly sorted.

There are various ways to produce un-ordered MIDI events. e.g. connect multiple jack MIDI ports to a single target, or here: the MIDI Strum plugin.

Also the MIDI-Strum plugin was changed to sort events to prevent this particular case: https://github.com/x42/midifilter.lv2/commit/6aa58936 (midifilter.lv2 v0.5.3-1 or upcoming v0.5.4 and later).

Closed - This is not an Ardour issue.

Uh... this certainly is an Ardour issue! Hosts are required to send ordered events to plugins, and plugins (like MIDI Strum) are required to output them in order as well.
