Hey there.
OSX 10.14:
Entering/renaming "Sound Name" in "Sound Properties"
will shortly freeze Synfire.
It takes some time until I can do something again in SF.
(The menu can be found under "Programs" tab in Device Descriptions)
Best,

How many device descriptions do you have?
None. I'm making new ones. (I can't say if there are any other/older ones that SF2 probably doesn't recognize?)
Something seems to be slowing down updates of dependent objects.
Yeah, I thought so, too. I am guessing this has to do with the SF2->engine communication, but I am shooting in the dark right now.

When you change a device ID (manufacturer, model, etc) all currently used rack modules, sound descriptors of all pools in all open libraries, arrangements and racks need to be updated in case they are referencing that device. If possible, you should do that only with global devices and only when you create them.

Thank you for the tip, but I did that already. Unfortunately, I didn't include the "Global Device Description" in the screen-recording.
But here is a different instrument, but in "Global".
In the first half, I click some buttons after I "renamed" the instrument. Then nothing happens. After that, in a few seconds,
the GUI registered the clicks. (even if I am somewhere else with the mouse cursor... )
Crazy, huh? :)
