Re: [Rosegarden-user] Percussion is silent or sounds like piano

Hi David

I don't use Timidity so I can't help you there but have you tried Hydrogen
Drum Machine? It is my favorite for percussion sounds. You can just use
Hydrogen's drum sounds and do all of your editing in the percussion editor
in Rosegarden. Make sure you have your percussion track using MIDI channel
10 and assign that truck to point to Hydrogen.

I'd start with Timidity, to make sure that it's working and the
soundfont plays Ch10 percussion stuff properly.  I've never used
Timidity, so I can't be much help on it, but right off hand, I'd say
it's not a rosegarden issue.

I don't see any weird that I think would explain percussion not working.

I don't have a clue off the top of my head, and I don't have time to dig right 
now.  I'll try to get back to you if nobody else steps in between now and 
whenever I catch a chunk of free time.

[Rosegarden-user] Percussion is silent or sounds like piano

2011-04-11 Thread David J Wiebe
Hello, I will be very grateful if someone is able to help me with my
problem. I have Rosegarden working for most MIDI instruments but not for
percussion. Percussion tracks either sound like a piano or they are
completely silent.

This is my setup. I use qjackctl to start jack and looking at the
messages the command used is:
/usr/bin/jackd -r -dalsa -dhw:0 -r44100 -p1024 -n2 -Xseq

I then start timidity with:
timidity --realtime-priority=60 -iA -B2,8 -Oj -s 22050

When I start Rosegarden, all connections get made automatically and
audio tracks, synth tracks and *most* MIDI tracks work. Are any of my
settings weird or something?

Thank-you,

David W

And here's another one, along with an MP3 "rendering", 
for your convenience:

http://www.nuug.no/pub/herman/misc/pop_minor.mp3

The MP3 was output with fluidsynth, from a MIDI file 
exported from Rosegarden.  Just default settings, 
so the sound is a bit dry and tinny.
