[Rosegarden-user] MIDI CC -- how to add ruler for ones list?

2019-03-16 Thread Brett McCoy
In the "Add Control Ruler" menu in the Matrix Editor, there are only these
CCs listed

10 Pan
93 Chorus
7 Volume
91 Reverb
64 Sustain
11 Expression
1 Modulation

How can I add a ruler for an arbitrary CC# -- for instance, I am sending
MIDI to an external sample player that has CC#2 available for playing an
ornamented note. How can I send this from Rosegarden (aside from using
Event Editor, which is painful)

I'm back in my studio now and gave it a try on 13.02, both ties and
phrasing slurs across barlines work fine for me. I am sure sometime in
the past I probably had attempted this before without any trouble in
earlier versions (at least as far back as 11.x).

I don't know, you would have to try it (I don't use Rosegarden for
notation, maybe someone else knows). But you might not get any support
for something in an old version that works correctly in the latest
version.

I don't know the answer to your issue, but I will recommend upgrading
to the latest version of Rosegarden before continuing and possibly
your version of Debian, Rosegarden 10.04.2 is very old (current
version is 13.02). Debian Sid & Wheezy have at least v12.04, as do
current versions of Ubuntu.

Ubuntu Studio 3? Must have been a very old version, since 10.04 or so
it has become a very solid and musician friendly distribution. It's up
to 13.04 right now (I am still on 12.04 LTS), and essentially
maintains full compatibility with plain Ubuntu. as they are all
released together.

That's strange, it should have everything Ubuntu has in terms of
networking support. I use Ubuntu Studio on multiple machines,
including a laptop with wireless, and networking has always worked out

Have you tried Ubuntu Studio? It's tailored and tweaked for audio

It should still work in all of the latest versions of RG. I use the
piano roll extensively and this feature is most definitely still
there. Check that your MIDI channel for the track isn't set to 'auto'
if it was previously set to a specific channel, it should be set to
'fixed' and a specific MIDI channel. This can cause some unexpected
results.

They do sound OK, for the most part. Gabriel Nord recently produced an
album using these samples (along with some other Linux stuff, although
I don't think RG was involved):

I use a lot of commercial libaries for Kontakt, EWQL Play and Best

Sadly, gig libraries are getting more and more scarce since Tascam
ended Gigasampler. Kontakt seems to be the most popular sampler format
now. I would be the first to sign up if Kontakt came to Linux, there
has been some interest expressed from NI, but probably won't happen
anytime soon. I *think* Kontakt on OS X supports Jack, but it's a
hidden feature that they don't advertise.

I don't think anything is missing. I experimented with multiple
versions this past weekend (I was trying to track down a MIDI issue
that ultimately had nothing to do with RG) -- the 11.x version
installed via Ubuntu, the last stable source release (12.04?) and SVN
trunk (whish is more or less what the new release is), and each was
able to find my hardware, synth ports and ipMIDI/qMIDINet MIDI
interfaces as needed.

Doesn't RG start up Jack on it's own now if it's not already running.
One thing for the OP to check is to make sure that jack_midi isn't
being used, because I don't think RG uses that yet (only the ALSA seq)

I have piano sounds out the wazoo (there's also pianoteq, which has

are commercial apps, even on Linux). Orchestral sounds and various

I'd prefer to have decent orchestral samples for LinuxSampler but what
is available is severely lacking compared to what is available for
Kontakt or PLAY sample engines.

I don't think Rosegarden supports automation for audio. You are better
off using Ardour for advanced audio mixing (they both use jackd for
synch, so you can keep your MIDI and audio in perfect synch)

The 'default to fixed' works great, when importing files from older

everything "fixed" as well. Thanks again for the quick fix!

Thanks! I can give the new code a quick test tomorrow, I think. A

Switching each instrument to "fixed" did it.

Might be a good idea for channels to default to 'fixed' and not 'auto'
when opening existing projects if it's not already set. This could
cause a lot of confusion if someone is migrating a project from an
older release or importing MIDI from other applications.

[Rosegarden-user] Sequencing problems with 12.04

2012-05-20 Thread Brett McCoy
I upgraded Rosegarden tonight because it kept crashing when I tried to
add expression data (CC11) :-( Unfortunately, after the upgrade, I
started getting strange sequencing issues, some tracks seemed to be
sending MIDI but nothing was playing back (maybe corrupted data???),
other times all tracks would send data to the same channel, as the
same instrument would play for each track, regardless of what MIDI
channel I had it set to. It was really weird...

My setup is kinda complex but has served me well for a long time. I
send MIDI data to multiple instruments in the MIDI studio. Each
instrument is mapped to QMIDINet outputs (this sends MIDI out over
ethernet). I have a Windows machine setup with ipMIDI, and with
multiple instances of various samplers like Kontakt and EWQL Play
loaded into Reaper, and the audio is sent back via SPDIF. It was
working well last night, in fact. After the upgrade, I started having
these random issues. I downgraded back to 11.11.42 and everything was
working. (The crashing from editing CC11 data is kind of bad, though).

I have this project I need to get finished up, and then I can help
debug this issue with 12.04.

One thing I have noticed in the development of digital painting
applications like MyPaint and Krita (two other of my favorite Linux
apps, along with Rosegarden & Ardour!), is that if you create Windows
versions of applications originally developed on Linux, you have to do
a lot of hand holding for those users to either help them compile
stuff, or be prepared for loud complaining because the Windows support
isn't as good as the Linux support (especially for development
branches). Windows users especially don't quite seem to get the open
source development model (all they see if "free software that I don't
have to pirate!"). Unless there are dedicated Windows developers to a
project, Windows support will flounder until someone gets around to
fixing bugs or building a new version (funny how the users who
complain the most don't seem to want to volunteer their time to help).
Unfortunately, I think this gives some Windows users the impression
that the Linux developers are snobby, unhelpful and arrogant.

BTW, I was happy to see the new Rosegarden announced in the latest KVR
newsletter today!

I can definitely contribute under this area also. Every piece of music

I remember a while back one of the developers (Chris?) had gotten
Rosegarden to compile on OS X. I don't think the effort got any
further than that.

BTW, MixBus (a commercial version of Ardour 2.8) now runs on Windows,
and uses a bundled version of jackd (which has been available on
Windows for a while now). I think the biggest requirement a Windows
version of any free audio software will have is the ability to load
VST instrument and FX plugins.

I don't have the time to help with C++ development (and I definitely
can't help with Windows porting), but I can certainly help with
maintaining the website or Wiki pages and documentation. For instance,
we need to better showcase some of the music being composed on
Rosegarden (allow me to toot my horn here, but I recently completed a
2 year study of Orchestration via Berklee and used Rosegarden for
every single one of my projects). Maybe some video tutorials would
help also (I'd definitely be up for making some of those). Pushing
stuff out to Windows and OS X would help exposure also. Graphics apps
like GIMP, MyPaint and Krita have gotten a lot of adoption from those
worlds as alternatives to expensive commercial apps, and there is
definitely room for something like Rosegarden there, too, especially
since it offers notation, whereas apps like Reaper and Reason don't,
and have MIDI & Audio capabilties way beyond what Finale or Sibelius
provide.

*raises hand* I've done many pieces starting out with sheet music in
Lilypond and then generated MIDI and sequenced with Rosegarden. I know
lots of other folks who do so as well.

Actually, there are some very good Lilypond editors, like Frescobaldi,
that do MIDI playback, although they are not well-suited for good
performance (nor is it intended to be performance data). Rosegarden's
notation is good for some basic stuff, but there's a lot of stuff it
can't do directly (like drum notation) that you really do need to use
Lilypond directly for. I've never been very happy with Rosegarden's
Lilypond output, it's very difficult to edit after the fact (I don't
think it uses relative octaves, for one thing).

But this isn't to say that Rosegarden shouldn't have notation (I think
it should stay)... I find it useful for some things, to try out
snippets and see how chords fit together.

As far as MIDI composing goes, the matrix editor is the single most
important feature. Notation can be done with Lilypond, but you can't
feasibly edit complex pieces of music without the matrix editor.
Rosegarden is especially well-suited for composing orchestral music
and this would be quite impossible without the matrix editor.

I think the feature set for Rosegarden is quite comprehensive, it just
needs some tweaks and enhancements to make it even better (like the
Continuous Controller rulers, they are usable but could be better).

I've had the same experience with the pitch bend ruler also in recent
versions. It's not usable like this.

Any of the M-Audio or RME PCI cards can handle this (Firewire device
support is limited on Linux). There are also dedicated external MIDI
adaptors like M-Audio MIDISport 1x1 that can taking standard MIDI In
and send it via USB to your machine.

Once you get used to it, the new way to do CCs is much better, much
more flexible. I personally disliked the old bars and found them
clumsy to use. You can still delete multiple points, just select and
then delete with the "delete" tool (same as used for events in the
piano roll). One thing I think would be helpful for the controller
rulers would be for the barlines from the matrix to be extended down
below on the ruler, so you can align controller points to beats.

Don't see this problem myself. Now that Rosegarden no longer relies on
KDE it starts right up for me, and I am using a pretty old machine
with only 2G of RAM. I'm not using any synth plugins, however, or any
other plugins with Rosegarden, for that matter (and I have a ton of
LADSPA plugins on my machine)

What version are RG you using? Specs of your machine? Do you compile
from source or use distro supplied RG? I've found Rosegarden to be
fairly stable, and have put it through some pretty heavy orchestral
pieces in the past year with very few crashes.

Yep, you can edit the MIDI events directly in the piano roll editor
and make the ending of each note slightly short of the beat --
Shift-Click the note and you can bypass the "snap to grid" and move
the end of the note arbitrarily. This can be especially effective for
brass where you want to make it sound like it is being tongued
correctly (and helps to contrast against a legato passage). You can
also shape the attack and decay of notes using CC11 (expression),
assuming you are using an synth or sampler or whatever that supports
CC11. This works very nicely for long sustained notes, where the
middle of a note maybe be slightly louder than the beginning or the
end.

Note if you do change the MIDI notes in this fashion it can mess up
your notation, if you are using the notation editor in any fashion.

You are only setting the MIDI channel there... to set the MIDI
instrument, it's on the bottom left (assming you have General MIDI
mapped to your instrument), there is a drop down of 128 GM
instruments. You can also change the name of the track by double

single click on the region and then in the top left section, click on
the 'Edit' button.

I've seen the behavior but it didn't strike me as being a bug... in
fact, it indicated to me that I should have split my region and
deleted the extra notes rather than having just shrunk the region.

[Rosegarden-user] Berklee Certification

2011-09-26 Thread Brett McCoy
Hey everyone --

I just finished up a 2 year Master Certification program through
Berklee Music, the program being "Orchestration for Film & TV". I did
the entire program using Linux, primarily Lilypond, Rosegarden and
Ardour/Mixbus (and some use of xjadeo and Jamin where needed). In
fact, I used Rosegarden on every project that required any kind of
sequencing, including some fairly large orchestral pieces. The only
thing Linux wasn't used for was the use of some sample libraries like
EWQL PLAY and Kontakt, which were hosted on a Windows 7 machine (I
used QMIDINet to handle networked MIDI and ADAT via Lightpipe & S/PDIF
for the return audio).

I have a good deal of my music from these classes on Soundcloud now:

Re: [Rosegarden-user] Quartertones in Rosegarden

2011-08-16 Thread Brett McCoy
Well, the pitch tracker isn't doing what I thought it was for -- I
thought it was something to be used for composing microtonal music
directly in the score or piano roll, but the documentation I found
seems to imply something else. *shrug*

I ended up using pitch bending directly and found the pitch bend ruler
to be next to useless! It keeps randomly moving events around and
using the 'insert pitch bend sequence' never inserted events in the
right place. Since I am qunatizing at 32 notes, it may be the ruler is
getting confused, seems to work better on larger note durations. I've
ended up having to manually insert pitch bend events into the event
editor. Luckily, they are specific values for half-sharp, half-flat,
etc.

I think we went through this exercise before... not seeing anything in
the right-click menu. What else is there in the "assortment of ways"?

I suppose for quarter tones I can use the pitch bend CC, might be
easier for now.

[Rosegarden-user] Quartertones in Rosegarden

2011-08-15 Thread Brett McCoy
Hi, I have a task this week to sequence some Penderecki, which
involves lots of quartertones. Can the new pitch tracker be used for
this kind of thing? How do I invoke the pitch tracker on a segment? I
found the configuration dialog under Preferences but can't find
anywhere else to use pitch tracker (I am using RG "Don Juan" 11.06,
compiled from source).

How does one invoke the Pitch Tracker in 11.06? I don't see any menu

I upgraded my Ubuntu Studio machine to 11.04 (Natty) yesterday. I'd
had Rosegarden 11.02 (compiled from source) previously installed on
Ubuntu 10 and it works flawlessly after the upgrade. Didn't need to

As an articulation, no, I don't believe it gets exported. What I do
for a fermata is open the piano roll and stretch the notes to twice
their length (and maybe add some automation on CC11, to have the note
subtly swell up and then fade down), and then it will be in the
exported MIDI file. Unfortunately, it will mess up your notation, if
you are using Rosegarden for notation.

It's more likely that Rosegarden isn't generating the Lilypond file
correctly. I've had a few instances where the Lilypond output from
Rosegarden wouldn't compile at all, there would be a missing >> in the
score section or similar. I don't really like Rosegarden's Lilypond
output anyway, I prefer to roll my own Lilypond score from scratch...
with emacs... on the command-line... :-)

As a regular user of Lilypond, I've seen behavior like you describe
(staff running to the right margin inexplicably) when you have too
many beats in a single bar. Even an extra 16th rest in a bar will
throw off the layout.

Re: [Rosegarden-user] Real-time Linux needed?

And like I said earlier, most current mainstream distros (especially
the multimedia ones like CCRMA and Ubuntu Studio) have kernels that
support this without needing to recompile the kernel. Rosegarden 11.02
+ Jack work out of the box on Ubuntu Studio 10.10, for instance.

Did you tell Rosegarden to use Timidity under the MIDI Studio settings?

As an alternative, you can try using Fluidsynth, it works very well
with Rosegarden, or QSynth (which can be used as dssi or standalone).

Keep in mind that all modern Linux kernels support pre-emptive
realtime scheduling, which is what most people are talking about when
using realtime priveleges with audio (like for jackd), but they are
often confused. This is supported in Ubuntu Studio, jack and
Rosegarden work perfectly fine together using the realtime scheduling
without a 'realtime' kernel. jackd and Rosegarden work as expected out
of the box on Ubuntu 10.10 using the stock kernel. A realtime kernel
is more suited for things like interactive voice reponse and hardware
based things where you want extremely low latency (like maybe for live
work).

I'm using Ubuntu Studio 10.10 with no realtime kernel, Rosegarden works fine
(along with Jack and other apps I use in conjunction with Rosegarden, like
Ardour, xjadeo, etc). Your machine needs more RAM, though, 512MB is pretty
tight, you'll be very limited with what you can do with plugins and other
programs that Rosegarden may need (like QSynth).
