My 2i4 is plug and play with Debian, has lovely low-noise pre-amps, and works well with Audacity (you have to start Audacity after connecting the Scarlett 2i4 for Audacity to recognise it). I have only used Rosegarden with the MIDI interface so far, but it works perfectly. It is even recognised by SpecLab running under Wine (when I have used it with an HF radio receiver). It is top quality hardware IMHO. -- Hilary -- Monitor Your Dynamic Infrastructure at Any Scale With Datadog! Get real-time metrics from all of your servers, apps and tools in one place.

Re: [Rosegarden-user] Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 USB audio interface
For what it's worth, I've been using a Komplete Audio KA6 for some time with no problems at all. It is USB2 class compliant and 'just works' (tm) It has 6 channels in and 6 out, one pair being SPDIF. Also 2 of the inputs are combined XLR/jack Mic/Instrument ones. All the analog I/O is balanced. Finally there is a switchable headphone monitor. -- W J G -- Monitor Your Dynamic Infrastructure at Any Scale With Datadog!

I plugged it in, and it worked. It's absolutely reliable. I use it via jackd all the time, even when listening to music or watching videos. I configured pulseaudio to use jacks, so everything works. The 2i2 runs for hours and hours without making trouble (like my old M-Audio Fast Track Pro which started cyloning). But the 2i2 doesn't have a mixer. No problem, I hear you say, we have jack_mixer. Yes, we have, but how do we tell all the jack-clients to connect to the mixer's input instead of system:playback? Don't cry in despair, there is a solution: jack.plumbing If jack.plumbing is active and its ruleset is carefully crafted, then the magic can happen and jack.plumbing disconnects jack-clients from system:playback and connects them to jack_mixer. Take this ~/.jack_mixer -- snip -- -- snap -- And then take this ~/.jack.plumbing -- snip -- (connect"alsa-jack\..*jackP\..*:out_000" "jack_mixer:ALSA L") (connect"alsa-jack\..*jackP\..*:out_001" "jack_mixer:ALSA R") (disconnect "alsa-jack\..*jackP\..*:out_.*" "system:playback_.*") (connect"Clementine:out_jackaudiosink-.*_1" "jack_mixer:JACK L") (connect"Clementine:out_jackaudiosink-.*_2" "jack_mixer:JACK R") (disconnect "Clementine:out_jackaudiosink-.*" "system:playback_.*") (connect"Qtractor:Master/out_1" "jack_mixer:JACK L") (connect"Qtractor:Master/out_2" "jack_mixer:JACK R") (disconnect "Qtractor:Master/out_.*" "system:playback_.*") (connect"rosegarden:master out L" "jack_mixer:JACK L") (connect"rosegarden:master out R" "jack_mixer:JACK R") (disconnect "rosegarden:master out .*" "system:playback_.*") (connect"MPlayer.*:out_0" "jack_mixer:ALSA L") (connect"MPlayer.*:out_1" "jack_mixer:ALSA R") (disconnect "MPlayer.*:out_.*" "system:playback_.*") (connect"PortAudio:out_.*[02468]" "jack_mixer:JACK L") (connect"PortAudio:out_.*[13579]" "jack_mixer:JACK R") (disconnect "PortAudio:out_.*" "system:playback_.*") (connect"PulseAudio.*:front-left" "jack_mixer:PULSE L") (connect"PulseAudio.*:front-right" "jack_mixer:PULSE R") (disconnect "PulseAudio.*:front-.*" "system:playback_.*") (connect "jack_mixer:MAIN L" "system:playback_1") (connect "jack_mixer:MAIN R" "system:playback_2") -- snap -- Start jack_mixer, start jack.plumbing and let the magic work :) The next time uncle Holger will tell you how you can move and resize windows automagically (even to workspaces) with gdevilspie and devilspie :) Regards Holger -- Monitor Your Dynamic Infrastructure at Any Scale With Datadog!

Re: [Rosegarden-user] ZynAddSubFX plugin in Rosegarden plays the wrong instruments

I haven't ever used the ZynAddSubFX plugin, and I'm afraid I don't have time to get it and test it at the moment. I can't say for sure that a newer Rosegarden will do you any good, but I would try that before I did anything else. Even if your problem still exists, at least you'll be running a more stable and better optimized Rosegarden. Ted Felix has done a lot of work in the intervening years. Building the source is typically very easy on Ubuntu, and there is absolutely no need to install that version anywhere. Just run it out of the build directory with ./rosegarden and you can run 15.08 and your distro Rosegarden side by side. If I get everything cleared off my desk before bedtime, I may come back to this today. If not, I'll follow up in the next few days. -- D.
