I have this problem with MOVE formants by:
When a try to "move formants by" everything works good but not when I turn on the "Silence unpitched" square, then appears this message "ERROR: File ~X_0.ana either has unredable header, or is a textfile with a CDP reserved extension." So, I dont know what to do to correct this thing.

This thing occurs in Soundloom and SoundShaper too.

Probably using the 96K sample rate would do it.
I'm not sure if SL can handle that

Hi. I am getting this error message when trying to morph-bridge 2 ana files in soundloom: Invalid Data Incompatible original sample type in input file 'x' and 'y'. What is is?

thank you simonk,

thats very helpful and a great place to start.

Im new to learning CDP and the learning curve is starting to soften (faster than I anticipated).

I imagine the Claude code output wouldn't be much of an improvement, but I am curious. I will try and report back any interesting results if they materialize.

I can face same problem in window 11

The CDP software has been Open Source for about twelve years.
So, you could download the source code & try for yourself.

Please let us know you you get on.

I've just found your post. Have you now resolved the issue? It sounded like a folder problem. Let me have further details if the problem is still there.

Hi,
I've simplified the setup process for Soundshaper and you can download a revised .exe file here.

I'm assuming you still have a valid CDP installation, including a Soundshaper6 folder. Just replace the Soundshaper.exe and also remove any existing Soundshaper.cfg file in the Soundshaper6 folder. Please make sure that the CDPR8 folder has no spaces in the path - do not put it in "Program Files", for example.  As a reminder, the correct folder structure is \CDPR8\_cdp\_cdprogs and \CDPR8\Soundshaper6.

I have checked the installation and settings in Windows, including Windows 11. I also ran the previous version and was reasonably satisfied with the setup procedure as it was. However, I'll not upgrade the official package until you've posted that this new one works (and we've resolved any anomalies.

Hi Ignatius,
I have gone through the Soundshaper code today and tidied up various things in the setup. I will post a new version tomorrow.

Soundshaper and CDP are supplied with the correct folders in place. Whatever you choose as your CDP base folder (default is C:\CDPR8), there should be a subfolder _cdp and another one called Soundshaper6 on the same level.  Neither of these should be re-positioned.

Hi,
I'm sorry you've had this problem though it should be easy enough to fix.
 
I'll take a look at it and see if I can see why the CDP programs folder should not be found. The normal setting is for Soundshaper to be within C:\CDPR8 (or whatever), as is the folder _cdp and its subfolder _cdprogs. In other words:  (C:\CDPR8)\_cdp\_cdprogs  and (C:\CDPR8)\ Soundshaper.

The thin window you mention seems to occur when setting up is incomplete for some reason.
