Not a biggy but it had me confused for a while.

Make a mulch with say a File Player and an effect.
Play.
Automate something and turn on Looping.
Stop Play, stop File Player.

Close laptop lid to induce sleep. Zzzzz

Open laptop and on resuming play neither the Sound Out graphic nor the Automation transport graphic work although automation is happening and sound is coming out.
This may of course happen with any mulch not just the example, I've not checked.

I'm back To Mulch now it's on OSX and loving it :-)

Update on that.

It doesn't seem to require sleep to stop the Automation and Sound Out graphics from working. It seems to happen after using Mulch for an hour or so with neither lid closes nor sleeps intervening.

This hour or so isn't an exact measurement of time, I'm not sure when I started Mulch up but the two mentioned interface graphics have stopped mid flow even though automation and sound out continue.

Saving the file, quitting Mulch and reopening the file and all is working as normal once more. Very odd.

Anyone else getting this?

Hi! It has been seen before (another symptom is the VU meters stop updating). If you send me an email (rossb@audiomulch.com) I'll send you a beta version of 2.0.2 to try out which should fix the problem. Thanks!

E-mail on its way to you.

Ok, so 2.0.2 has been released now and should *in theory* resolve this problem. However I was never able to reproduce it here so it's possible it's still present under some conditions. If anyone sees this behavior with 2.0.2 please post here. thanks. Ross.

OK, that (Mulch 2.0.2b2) seems to have fixed the problem as far as I can see.

I have conducted some very un-scientific tests over a couple of evenings;
Mulch running, sleep, leave, come back;
Mulch open but not running, sleep, leave, come back etc and this bug seems to be squashed.

The automation transport graphic and sound out vu keep running as they should now even after long snoozes :-)

Many thanks as always Ross.
