[re: Sound Globs opening noise]
Hi Clarence:Are you using midid? If so, is ~/.dosemu/run/dosemu-midi a pipe? If it's only a file, MIDI events will just accumulate in there; that might explain why you get a single note at startup but no MIDI after that.I'm now able to open and run the program, but something happens when it opens that kills its MIDI activity. The program appears to be working, it just doesn't send any MIDI data. Upon opening it sends a big MIDI reset to my synths (including a big chord with no apparent note-off), then I get no joy. :( I'm still working with it though, trying to at least create some MIDI files for later use.
Actually it's a bunch of notes sounding at once (i.e. a chord). I remember beta testing a version of Sequencer Plus that did exactly the same thing, and the programmers at Voyetra fixed it. They told me that the sequencer did a complete MIDI reset upon opening, which makes sense, but they also realized it was an error to send a bunch of MIDI note-on messages. Btw, when I run Sound Globs on a dedicated DOS machine this effect does not occur.
No, I'm not using midid. ~/.dosemu/run/dosemu-midi is linked to /dev/snd/midiC1D0, ALSA's virtual MIDI card. In the past I've found that method to be much les latency-prone than midid, though I recall Stas mentioning that the daemon had been much improved lately. I might try it again someday, but truthfully the link works so well I'm not inclined to change it.
Thanks for the suggestion, I appreciate any & all input on this matter.
Best regards,
Dave Phillips
