[Rosegarden-user] Guitar input to RG

[Mike Knott]

Hi,

I have MIDI guitars that I have successfully used to enter notation into RG.

I have two queries.

1. when I enter chords into the Main window (and later view that input
   in the notation editor), i sometimes get chords (i.e. notes in a
   vertical line) but, usually, I get a mash up of 32nd notes close to
   each other but not in a vertical line. I'm guessing RG has detected
   minuscule time lapses between each string as I played the chord. I'm
   guessing I can resolve this (turn the group of notes into a chord)
   using quantization (as advised by Ted Felix in the list). Does
   anyone have any guidance on how to do this? Is it simply a case of
   choosing the minimum note duration and can this work with
   quantization as I'm inputting, as opposed to afterwards.
2. about the guitar-specific elements and how to notate these (either
   during real-time input or afterwards in Notation Editor... I'm
   talking about things like: hammer-ons and pull-offs, string bends
   (occasionally two strings at a time), sliding between notes. To be
   honest, it goes on and on but, just taking these basic things, I
   can't find anything to help with how to notate this (not in the
   manual anyway). Is there a place to look for how to do this
   guitar-specific stuff.

[Rosegarden-user] Realtime Input

[Mike Knott]

Good morning.

I have checked out the step time input from midi in rosegarden (I have 
a midi guitar). I'm a classical guitarist and most of the input will be 
shifting between durations and will be contrapuntal. Just to play this 
in as separate voices is actually a good exercise in bringing out the 
voices (or even seeing them in the first place) but really awkward to 
do.


I think... from my tinkering... that half of the awkwardness (entering 
notes OR chords) can be remedied by just choosing chord entry as this 
also accepts single notes. But with chord entry the assumption seems to 
be that we are going to enter the notes of the chord sequentially 
(which, in fairness is true with a strummed chord) but, as such, the 
cursor does not advance in chord mode and a separate key press is 
required to manually advance it.


So... a few questions:
First and foremost, I say I have been tinkering. For those of you who 
have properly examined what I've said... am I right so far?Is it 
possible to hit that "advance" button via a midi controller such as a 
foots witch (and, if so, how)?Take a look at this: 
. The language is not 
English but just watch from about 3:45. Here we have real time input 
into Notion notation package: single notes, chords, no manual 
advancing. This is what I'm trying to achive. Both Rosegarden and 
Denemo say this is too error prone to be worth it. Seems very good 
here. Is this, in any way, possible in Rosegarden?Is the above possible 
in ANY linux software?Another thing Notion offers is tight integration 
with STudio One (I have used them both). Studio One includes Melodyne 
and I have seen attempts to enter polyphonic audio into Melodyne then 
use that software to create the midi then use the midi to create the 
notation. Has anybody had any success with Sonic Visualiser (the only 
alternative to Melodyne that I'm aware of) in achieving decent results 
(accurate notation)?
Apologies for the somewhat broad question. I love Linux and, while 
Notion on a Mac or PC seems to do exactly what I want, if I can do it 
in Linux I'll do it in Linux. If I can find a way of "advancing" in 
chord input mode in Rosegarden with a footswitch, this might be, just, 
acceptable. But, obviously, I'd rather be able to do what the guy in 
the video can do.

[Rosegarden-user] Import sf2

[Mike Knott]

Hi,

I'm struggling to understand the instructions on importing a soundfont 
into Rosegarden. The Rosegarden Handbook says this is achievable 
(instead of importing an rgd file).


What I'm, exactly, trying to achieve is to replace the Programs in the 
Instrument Parameter List to those in the Guitars-Universal-V1.5.sf2.


I've tried using the Studio > Manage MIDI Devices Dialog to Import but 
am only getting three voices as a result (there are many, many in the 
soundfont).


I'm using QSynth and have tried loading this soundfont in there but 
this changes nothing in Rosegarden.


OK, apologies in advance for the newbie nature of the post.

Mike
