Re: [Rosegarden-user] Jack freewheel and jack-midi and general thoughts
Hi guys, I agree, JACK-MIDI would be more immediately useful that some other features. Right now, I use that JACK-ALSA bridge program to gain that bit of extra functionality, but that is a bit awkward and kludgey.

[Rosegarden-user] Jack freewheel and jack-midi and general thoughts
Dear all, As some other people on LAU might have noticed a while back I tried to open a discussion on LAU about jack freewheele as a way to more easily interoperate between jack applications, the scenario being e.g. composing in Rosegarden (which as you know if my favourite sequencer and composition tool) using external synths/hosts (e.g. like Yoshimi but also e.g. linuxsampler or Carla) and then 'exporting' the result to audio 'faster than realtime'. [0][1] I also started a similar discussion specifically in the yoshimi mailing list (yoshimi also being a synth I heavily use in tandem with Rosegarden)... If I understand correctly freewheeling is currently mostly used in DAWs such as Ardour or Qtractor for exporting a whole session. Cadence-Render [1] also seems to use this mechanism. From the various discussions and reading documentation online it really seems that in order for freewheeling to work one mainly needs: - JACK transport (I think in 'slave' mode) - jack-midi So the the question is: would it be time to think about jack-midi support in Rosegarden? There is also another side point that might be relevant here: the more time passes the more the DSSI and LADSP olny plugin support in rosegarden become obsolete. Personally I wouldn't be pushing for, say, LV2 or (Linux) VST supports *in* Rosegarden, for me connecting Rosegarden to external synths and hosts works just fine (better I would say), as I like the idea for composing, *sequencing* and midi, which are a different beast compared to say audio editing. But... maybe an upgrade to jack-midi would help making Rosegarden easier to interconnect and use more of the available hosts, synths etc. Just some ideas :) [0] http://jackaudio.org/files/docs/html/group__ServerControl.html#gad65c741a1d1d2fb09efacf51437b841a [1] https://lists.linuxaudio.org/archives/linux-audio-user/2016-November/thread.html#106691 [2] https://www.freelists.org/post/yoshimi/Crazy-feature-idea-Offline-wav-file-generation-from-midi-and-state-file [3] https://kxstudio.linuxaudio.org/Applications:Cadence-Render ___ Rosegarden-user mailing list Rosegarden-user@lists.sourceforge.net - use the link below to unsubscribe https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rosegarden-user
