Ted:
Thanks for keeping me informed of your plan of attack.
Regarding the missing MIDI events in recording, I think this has been a
problem for years.
When I first started using Rosegarden (Ubuntu 8.04), I tried to record
my sequences from my Roland D20's onboard sequencer (a multi-track,
simultaneous recording) into Rosegarden.
For most of the pieces, the effort was successful. But for many of
them, missing MIDI events/notes (too many to edit) would ruin the
recording.
With later releases, the low-latency kernel, and faster machines, I was
able to 'chip-away' at the list of pieces that wouldn't record. But I
have never been able to record all my pieces from the Roland D20 into
Rosegarden.
I think what has happened with the kernel associated with Ubuntu 12.04,
is that the overhead has increased to the point that this problem is
becoming visible again, even in normal (recording from a device) use.
Where I now know how to do the same thing in Muse (that application
didn't look as good as Rosegarden when I first started using MIDI on
Linux), I will try recording from my Roland D20 again, recording my
pieces that wouldn't successfully record in Rosegarden, into Muse.
If that effort succeeds, then we can have confidence that it is a
software problem. If it doesn't succeed, we can conclude we are running
up against the hardware limitations (and continuing bloat) of Linux.
Sincerely,
Aere
