This seems to have been reported here: https://sourceforge.net/p/rosegarden/bugs/1494/ On the other hand importing a file with same samplerate as the jack session works flawlessly. As a work-around you could either try resampling externally your audio file to match the samplerate you use with rosegarden, or vice-versa match the jack samplerate to the desired wave file. I tried making sure the sample rates match, but unfortunately it is still giving the error. -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot ___ Rosegarden-user mailing list Rosegarden-user@lists.sourceforge.net - use the link below to unsubscribe https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rosegarden-user

Yep, it's a 2i2, and this worked. I had the keyboard on in 1 L and the mic on in 2 R. I switched the mic to in 2 L, and it worked exactly as I want it to.

[Rosegarden-user] Recording Audio from a Mic
Hi all, What I am aiming at is to be able to listen to the midi tracks being played through the korg in the headphones while recording vocal audio tracks through the microphone, but I am having trouble. I am trying to record audio from a microphone into a track in Rosegarden 15.12. I have the track set to audio, and I have the instrument parameters set to 'in 1' and out to master. The input meter in the instrument parameters shows that signal from the mic is coming in.

The keyboard and the mic are coming through the same interface, a scarlet focusrite. It seemed to me that the 'recording filters' under 'track parameters' might be the place this should be fixed, but both 'device' and 'channel' are grayed out. I'm not sure what to try. Help would be greatly appreciated!

I did fix this problem as well though; somehow, I managed to clear the 'sends its data through' setting in the 'manage midi devices,' so the korg was sending the data to nowhere.

[Rosegarden-user] MIDI settings messed up after restart
Hi all, I had previously asked the list for help with getting Rosegarden to recognize the program names on my old Korg triton studio. I was able to make all this work, but it is doing surprising things after a restart. I was able to set up the Korg Triton as a MIDI device, and save it in the default studio. From there, I could change programs on RG and the Korg would just do as it was told; I didn't have to mess with the Korg at all, to change programs or anything. I was able to see and use the korg as a MIDI device in any new file. After the restart, when I try to play the same file, the programs as listed in the 'instrument parameters' box do not match what they originally were, and the programs on the korg are seemingly random general midi instruments. When I change the programs in 'instrument parameters' to the right ones, the programs on the Korg either don't change, or they change back to the GM instruments almost immediately. In addition, when I open files made previous to my addition of the Triton as a MIDI device, it is not available as a MIDI device. It seemed like I might have to to do Studio -> import default studio, but after this not only does the triton still not show up as a MIDI device, all sound is muted, even though the meters are still jumping. I have messed around with this, but I have no idea what the problem is. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The bizarre drum doubling seems to have gone also; I'm not sure what I did differently, but after a restart of RG and the Korg it's gone.

I can now select the KT programs directly from within RG, and it all works great, except for two problems. 1.) The device doesn't save. I have to set it up again every time I open RG, unless I open a particular file I have saved with this device. Is there any way to make this device available be default for all new files? 2.)

[Rosegarden-user] Basic Midi Set up
Hi all, I am a new Rosegarden user, trying out how to sync RG with my Korg Triton. I have existing sequences in the Korg, that I would like to bounce over to RG. I have managed to get the data to record from the Korg into RG, but still not in sync, and I get frequent unexpected occurrences; specifically, I have trouble with unexpected program changes and notes sticking or feeding back. From reading the handbook, it seems that setting each channel to 'Receive External' should result in RG just sending the MIDI data to the programs however they might be arranged on the keyboard, but I still get unexpected program changes. 'Receive external will even uncheck itself almost immediately after I check it. I looked into setting the exact bank and program numbers for each channel, but RG doesn't "see" the korg, it only "sees" my Scarlett 2i4 "general midi device." I tried to set it up through "Manage MIDI Banks and Programs," and imported existing bank settings for the Triton Extreme. (This was the closest I could find to my keyboard) I thought I could at least set the right bank and program numbers, even if the names didn't match. This didn't seem to work at all, and now each channel is just playing whatever program each channel on the Korg is set to; this is what I wanted it to do initially, but when I try to use it that way I get the aforementioned surprises. I'm not sure what to do about the issue.

Re: [Rosegarden-user] Drag notes vertically without changing timing
In matrix editor, select the note, or several notes, whose pitch you want to change. Then just use the keyboard up arrow or down arrow to shift the pitch up or down.

To clarify the garbled mess I wrote above, what I should have said was "I find jackd _doesn't_ shut down when RG does. Some don't have this problem. For those who use jack all the time it doesn't matter." IMHO, whatever the pros and cons of using jack for everything, it would be good if the -T option to jack was behaving as expected, i.e. jack should shut down once no clients remain. However it turns out that this issue isn't restricted to RG: qsynth also leaves jack running after exiting on my system. My ~.jackdrc has: /usr/bin/jackd -dalsa -dhw:0 -r44100 -p256 -n4 What I see in my task manager after running RG and/or qsynth is: jackd -T -ndefault -dalsa -dhw:0 -r44100 -p256 -n4 Notice the extra "-T -ndefault" in front of the option string.

We have freedom to drive through a red light , but ……. I wonder how few Linux users are aware of the restrictions imposed on the use of open source soft ware. Legal restrictions as well as moral restrictions. Then there is the ever occurring bragging of the "long uptime". If you use your computer for simple re- occurring tasks and nothing else, it does not matter what operating system or what distro you use, you will experience a long up time. Computers are tools, and good craftsmen choose the best tools to do the job. Only amateurs try to get by with inferior tools and spend unreasonable time to keep them sharp and working.

I am very fortunate to have been actively involved in the use and development of sophisticated software and hardware. In the early days there was no talk of "geeks" . Curiosity and a dedicated willingness to advance the state of the art were the driving force. Initially, the main tools were the mastering of assembly language as used for the misc computers, and then later for the misc CPU's that become available in the early 70. High level languages become available in the late 50 and become fast more and more sophisticated. As a young engineer, it was my pride to to keep up with the advances as much as I could. In 1994 Linux made its appearance and very quickly become a favourite for those who wanted to know the inside of how things were done and who were also interested in modifying program written by other programmers. The concept of "Open Source" was widely hailed as a major breakthrough, but was also widely misunderstood in its usage. Many companies who incorporated Linux into their products found themselves involved in expensive law suits or to take the lesser evil, paying heavy royalties. D.Michael McIntyre, the originator of this thread, had it right with his statement that "The future of Linux sure looks bleak". It is certainly true as far as the "Desktop" Linux goes. On the other hand, it is not true for the Server market. The significant difference is that the server version has no unnecessary frills. It is very basic Linux with no GUI's and no clever enhancements. A number of writer to this thread made reference to their recently discovered new distro (whatever !) that is not suffering from any of the known illnesses. I can assure them that they are living in a dream world. The next update will bring them back to reality. I still use Linux for the mental challenges it provides me, but for programs that I need for my personal use, I prefer to pay in real money and not by time spent to make programs work. I have reached the point in life where I become immune to the accusation of being to lazy to learn how to make programs to work. I rather prefer to spend my time to smell the roses.

Re: [Rosegarden-user] Get sound working with Realtek sound card
Thanks Mr.McIntyre for your response. In a separate e-mail I will send you some screenshots of how my "Rosegarden App" looks like. Unfortunately the forum does not lend itself to send screenshots. The limitation is 40k. I tried every icon on the two top rows of the display in search of what you describe as the Edit menu without any success. I apologize for my statement that your Tutorial is not geared to modern hardware. I was guided by the observation that modern computers have mostly integrated sound cards and hardly ever anymore the good old sound blaster. The OS software also has evolved, and so has Rosegarden.

Re: [Rosegarden-user] Get sound working with Realtek sound card
I would like to thank all you respondents who tried to help me..I have Jack, Qsynth, Timidity installed. But I am at a loss how I can tie all these pieces together to produce any sound. How to "plug in" any of these pieces? The info message box in rosegarden says "visit Edit->Preferences->Behaviour->Graphics performance". There is no obvious way to do this ! The Union interface of Ubuntu 12.04 does not lend itself to do things as one would do in a KDE environment. I wonder if linux is getting so smart, that it tends to outsmart itself with the increased complexity. Michael McIntyre Tutorial is a great write up, but is not geared to modern hardware. It is based on KDE and I am lost how to apply it to my Union interface.

[Rosegarden-user] Linked-copy segments don't work with lyrics in lilypond
Hi, Recently returning to Rosegarden after a couple of years, I'm very impressed with 11.11.42 (Debian testing). Many thanks to the developers. One outstanding improvement is the linked-copy feature, and its ability to create repeats with alternate endings in the score. But it has one little problem I haven't seen mentioned yet: if linked segments contain lyrics, the lilypond print only shows a single copy: no repeats, no endings or other segments, even if they are selected for printing. With chords and other text, linked copies print fine. Should I report a bug? Regards, John O'Hagan -- For Developers, A Lot Can Happen In A Second. Boundary is the first to Know...and Tell You.

[Rosegarden-user] Lilypond export broken?
I cannot export to lilypond with version 11.11.11. The resulting file,
instead of having any staves, says
\score {
% (All staffs were muted.)
>> % notes
My staves are definitely not muted, and I get this even if I export
"selected" tracks or "all" tracks. This used to work fine, and I am
sure this is just an easy bug that must have crept in.
I've had trouble, over the years, with older Rosegarden files not
loading into new versions correctly. Have any changes to the format
occurred recently? This file is definitely an RG version or two old...
John

Re: [Rosegarden-user] Real-time Linux needed?
I've just successfully installed 2.6.38-5-lowlatency kernel following the instructions here: http://longspine.com/how-to/real-time-kernel-on-ubuntu-10-10-maverick-meerkat/ I guess it would work on any ubuntu 10.10 based OS. Certainly works on Linux Mint 10 KDE (amd64) in my case. My 'uname -a' now shows: Linux asus 2.6.38-5-lowlatency #32~ppa1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT Wed Feb 23 11:08:30 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux It certainly satisfies Rosegarden's timer requirement. There are some further steps needed if you have proprietary graphics drivers, as the kernel needs re-compiling for the module. Similar if you use VirtualBox, but both problems were easy enough to put right. I did need to boot the new kernel in recovery mode and mess with /etc/X11/xorg.conf to fix my nVidia driver problem though... I'd be happy to help anyone who wants to try it, but if you follow Mr Poomk's instructions exactly, it should just work. Many thanks for Don Juan.
