Dear Lexat8,
We have looked at your log files and this is what we found.
All of the problems you are encountering are related to hardware, not software. Specifically, the FB3 is suddenly disconnecting. This could indicate some kind of connector or cable problem, or it could indicate a "power problem".
From the log files we can see that you have what appears to be an inexpensive HP laptop. From what we have heard, HP laptops are made by two separate companies, on two separate production lines. One of the production line makes really cheap PCs, but with lets say less-than-optimal design. The other production line makes really great PCs, but with an elevated price. We would suggest you use a Powered USB Hub and plug the FB3 into the USB hub and see if that helps your problem. If not, then we'll have to investigate this further.
To help us to find problems in the future, we recommend you completely delete the LOG folder as well as any "Send to Pangolin" folders right now. QS will rebuild them as needed, and it will be less data to send in the future if the need arises.
Regarding the tone of email sent from me, perhaps it is you who is a bit over-sensitive
. What you receive from me in email are statements of fact with zero sugar-coating, as if receiving emails from a robot. So if that is not to your liking, there are certainly other people on the Pangolin team you can contact -- for example, Francesco.
Certainly it is our goal to make software and hardware that are good enough so that you'd never have to contact us for technical support. In the real world, there are other things, well external to anything we have made that might cause problems -- for example, USB cable, USB connector, quality of laptop power supply implementation or outright abuse of the hardware.
I am happy to hear that you like what you call the "Sound to light function" (which I assume you are referring to the Virtual Laser Jockey) and I am sure other QS users will thank you if you let other people know what you are doing, and how you are using it, and the type of music you have found to be most successful.
Best regards,
William Benner
PS: Just as a reminder, OK, Lexat8 has problems, but what about the zillions of other people who purchased QS this year alone? Generally you'll only hear about problems on a forum, and not too often hear about the success stories.
