It would be really nice to abstract that dependency away. The big question for me is this: how is this refactoring work going to affect MTC synchronisation, i.e. where Rosegarden chases against an incoming timecode signal? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NE8PPrMG3qA&feature=youtu.be&t=183 That's the single most mission-critical feature of Rosegarden for me and last time I looked at the code the gubbins for slaving to an external MTC source were spread all across the Alsa-specific code. > Before I really dive into pulling all of this together, I thought it > would be appropriate to see how both the developer and user communities > feel about all this. > > In the meantime, I'm off to see the new Star Trek movie in IMAX. > -- > D.

If you spend more than about $300 on a synthesizer, chances are you're going to end up with something that attaches to just a couple of channels. A minimoog, for example, appears on one channel because it's a monosynth. Hammond organ: One channel for each manual plus a third for the bass pedals. The Manikin Memotron: six channels, each one dedicated to a single tape set. While you could buy a dozen USB interfaces or a couple of expensive 4x4s, the more realistic scenario is that you're going to chain some of the synthesizers using the THRU port, so the minimoog, the organ and the 'tron are all hooked up on the same port, but allocated to different channels, say ch.1 for the Minimoog, 2-4 for the organ and 6-12 for the 'tron. Unless you're sending a massive flood of control changes to all of them at once this usually works pretty well. Assuming you remember to disable the automatic channel allocator, of course. -- JP Morris - aka DOUG the Eagle (Dragon) -=UDIC=- j...@it-he.org Anti-walkthroughs for Deus Ex, Thief and Ultima http://www.it-he.org Project Future - A web comic http://project-future.org The DMFA radio series project http://dmfa.it-he.org d+++ e+ N+ T++ Om U1234!56!7'!S'!8!9!KAW u++ uC+++ uF+++ uG uLB uA--- nC+ nR nH+++ nP++ nI nPT nS nT wM- wC- y a(YEAR - 1976) -- ___ Rosegarden-user mailing list Rosegarden-user@lists.sourceforge.net - use the link below to unsubscribe https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rosegarden-user
Re: [Rosegarden-user] Default to "fixed" for old documents

How are you getting on with > new documents in the age of floating channels? Cool, I will try and give this a go over the weekend. Most of my compositions are actually imported from SONAR as MIDI files, so I'm not sure if this will have so much effect on my particular setup. If anyone is curious, this was the song I recorded to test out 12.04. Aside from the 'Fixed' thing it went very well.

Re: [Rosegarden-user] ROSEGARDEN 12.04, codename "Freedom" RELEASED

Unfortunately it meant having to set ALL of them to fixed, but it was possible to get it to work in the end. I wouldn't have thought that an override to force all instruments to be Fixed would have been a terribly complex job, but then I haven't looked at the code yet. Basically, it took down the seven(!) synthesizers in my rig which weren't fully multitimbral (why the MVS-1 only listens on ch1-ch6 I have no clue). The JV1010 is fully multitimbral in theory, but in practice some sounds (like the lead sound on the song I tried) will only work correctly on channel 1 owing to some quirk of the voice architecture. Likewise, the Korg Triton is multitimbral in Song mode (which I use most of the time), but when put into Program mode to use its onboard effects engines properly, it will listen on channel 1 only. On the song I was playing, I had three sounds off the JV1010 - the lead organ, bassline, and some tubular bells. I set the lead organ to 'Fixed' and Rosegarden promptly sulked and wouldn't play the bass or bells either until they were all set to 'Fixed' as well. At first I assumed that having some channels locked but not others makes the voice allocator wig out, but it hasn't done that again since, so I don't know. Once they were all set to 'Fixed', it worked happily, but the default behaviour does only work on workstations, most of the expensive specialty synthesizers, e.g. anything made by Hammond, Cheetah, Waldorf, Creamware, Moog and probably Nord as well is likely going to have to be set to Fixed. Granted, if you're not daisy-chaining them and have exactly one machine per MIDI interface, you could set most of the the machines into OMNI mode anyway and it would work out of the box, but I do wonder if it's worth adding a FAQ entry. If I hadn't caught the announcement and found out the hard way, I would have gone mental... Maybe something like: Q: My synthesizer won't work with Rosegarden 12.04 or above A: If it's set to respond on a specific MIDI channel, try setting 'channel' to 'Fixed' instead of 'Auto' in Rosegarden's Instrument panel. ...? Anyway, that's what I've found. Other than that it seems to be working fairly happily, I will have to look at installing it on the 'production' laptop as well.
