That's what I wrote the FitToBeats command to help fix.  Even aside from
keeping machine-perfect tempi, if you use any rubato at all you'll quickly
disagree with the metronome.  The idea is that you play it with as much
rubato as you want, then you make Rosegarden's tempo conform to that by
selecting notes on the beats and then FitToBeats.  It's been a while so I
don't remember how it got the old notes into the new tempo but there was
something to do it and then it lined up nicely.

Merging controller events from different tracks just puts all of the
events in together.  That's the sort of surprise that "auto" (aka logical
instruments) was meant to fix.

Right.  It will adjust the MIDI tempo to track tempo, and will even adjust
the tempo several times a measure to make each note come out right in
ramps, but there is no way in MIDI to represent a continuous ramp.

Well, in MIDI each note-on event only holds a few fields.  Anything
fancier than pitch and velocity really has to be a controller (or
pitch-bend-style double-size controllers, or sysex, but you get the idea)

Not sure what version you have but now in the controllers menu in
notation, you can cut, copy, and paste controllers from whatever
controller ruler is active.

Yes, the adjust submenu has a few more options nowadays, and applies to

Key shortcuts are unfortunately set in stone at compile-time.  It's in
data/rc/ in the source code if you want to play with it.

Re: [Rosegarden-user] end marker in midi export

2015-08-21 Thread Tom Breton (Tehom)
 I'm using PhotoScore to generate midi files. Unfortuately,
 it seems to put the end marker well past the end of the
 composition. I thought I could use rosegarden to fix this
 but I've not succeeded. I can set the composition end but
 the exported midi is even worse than the original.

Yes, we made a decision at some point that it was better to set the
composition end well beyond the sounding end, so that users could do
certain things without surprises, like move segments or extend them.

 How can I trim a midi to the actual length of the
 composition?

From the main menu, Composition - Change Composition Start and End.  I
think that if you export it immediately, it will stay that length, but
it's been a long time since I looked at that.

Be aware that all sorts of commands will invoke the code that sets the
length longer.

Hope this works.

Re: [Rosegarden-user] An oddity!

2015-06-15 Thread Tom Breton (Tehom)
 Ha! Got the little bugger! :) :) :)

Good work finding that.

 All the affected parts have an 'orphan' MIDI output in Manage MIDI
 Devices. The
 device they were connected to no longer exists - indeed it no longer does
 in
 real life!

 What happens then is they lock on to the only available one - Yoshimi.
 From
 here on I'm surmising that they send settings from phantom tracks. In any
 case
 if I set them to [no port] and resave the file, next time it loads there
 is no
 problem.

Good to know, if it comes up again.

 My guess is that this was originally done to ensure there was always
 something
 connected. I wonder if anyone else has been victimised by this version of
 the
 law of unintended consequences :o

Sounds about right.  Slightly before my time, but there used to be
concerns that RG would frustrate new users by not making any sound if they
hadn't configured it right, so IIUC the idea was it should try hard to
play sound if at all possible.

Re: [Rosegarden-user] Unwanted CCs - update - !!!AHA!!!

2015-02-11 Thread Tom Breton (Tehom)

 Perhaps I misunderstood your setup - are you reading a MIDI file in, it
 contains bank changes, and when you play back they are messed up?  Or they
 show the wrong banks in the Instrument Parameter Panel?  That would make
 this code suspect, otherwise I'm afraid I don't see a connection.

OK, catching up on my email, I read the other thread (without AHA!), so
I see that is essentially what's going on.

Now it's just nagging at me, if simply copying over the lsb and msb isn't
right, what *is* supposed to happen?  Or have we overlooked some minor
mistake that corrupts the whole thing?

Will look further, and look at the MIDI Abrolag sent - thank you for that.

Thank you, and also thank whoever created MidiEvent::print years ago.

The one wrong-looking thing I see is that we never erase the msb and lsb
variables.  Once case MIDI_CTRL_CHANGE has set lsb or msb, case
MIDI_PROG_CHANGE will consider it set to that value, forever, until case
MIDI_CTRL_CHANGE sets another value.  We don't aim lsb and msb at a
specific channel, either, so other channels' MIDI_PROG_CHANGEs could be
affected.

My suspicion is that remembering lsb,msb after MIDI_PROG_CHANGE confuses
later MIDI_PROG_CHANGEs that don't have bank controllers, and also we
probably shouldn't share them between channels.

Does this make sense to you?

 Every time Rosegarden starts up, and every time it starts a run from the
 beginning it sends reset CCs.

 I can't seem to find a way to stop this - they are not mentioned in any
 filter
 options that I can see.

Sounds like the normal setup stuff.

Have you tried unchecking all the checkboxes in Instrument Parameters? 
Basically, that tells it not to try to set up an instrument, because setup
will be handled externally, which sounds like what you are doing.

Re: [Rosegarden-user] Disabling auto-scroll

2014-09-21 Thread Tom Breton (Tehom)
 I am trying to use Rosegarden under Linux on a small netbook-type
 computer.  The window title bar, menu bar, tool bar, tempo and chord
 rulers, lower status/zoom area, and my windowing system's dock all
 consume vertical space, leaving only about a third of the screen's
 vertical dimension for the matrix area of the matrix editor.

Some of those can be turned off in the View menu, giving you more space.

Sorry, no idea about auto-scroll.  At first I thought you were talking
about the autoscroll that follows the playback - that's easily turned off
from the tool bar - but it appears you're talking about something else,
how the screen tries to recenter when you move to the edge.  I don't know.

Re: [Rosegarden-user] Shift tempo changes?

2014-07-13 Thread Tom Breton (Tehom)
 Is it possible. E.g. I have a piece and a set of (many) tempo changes,
 and tempo remps.. I'd like to shift the whole piece 1 bar forward
 otherwise the beginning is 'choppy' with the synth used.

Abrolag has already pointed out select-and-drag.

That won't capture the tempo changes.  What will capture the tempo changes
is range copy.  There are two way to do it, but they both start the same:

 * Set the range (fat white line on timing bar) to the whole composition.
 * Cut the range \C-\S-X
 * Put the playback pointer where it should start
 * Paste it \C-\S-V

To just move tempos and time signatures:
 * Set the range (fat white line on timing bar) to the whole composition.
 * Copy the range \C-\S-C
 * Put the playback pointer where it should start
 * Paste Conductor Data (from menu)

This will leave the old conductor data where it doesn't overlap.  If you
like, there's Erase Tempos and Timesigs (from menu)

Re: [Rosegarden-user] Uncontrollable midi controller signals

2014-02-01 Thread Tom Breton (Tehom)
 Hi there... i need help with a rosegarden feature... rosegarden at the
 start of a segment playback sends controller signals to midi out (all
 channels), for example:

 01:06:39.360 Ch 2, Ctrl 121, Val 0
 01:06:39.360 Ch 2, Ctrl 10, Val 64
 01:06:39.360 Ch 2, Ctrl 93, Val 0
 01:06:39.360 Ch 2, Ctrl 7, Val 100
 01:06:39.360 Ch 2, Ctrl 91, Val 0

 i think those signals are for setup the volume,pan,reverb,chorus, but i
 really don't need them, and is very annoing how rosegarden changes
 synths paramether... there's a way to avoid sending these particular
 signals at the beginning of a segment playback, while keeping the
 signals inserted as manual event (in the event list editor)?

Depends on exactly what you want.

First, there's no way for those controllers to automatically put
themselves into the event list.  You can manually put them there.  Easiest
way is to make a ruler for each controller, select the first note, use
Controllers - Place controller once for each ruler, and set them as you
like.  Once that's done, auto will always send those controllers and not
some other values.

By some other values, I mean the IPB values.  From what you say, I'm not
sure whether you have set the IPB values the way you want them - sounds
like it's annoying you by setting controllers back to IPB values?

Re: [Rosegarden-user] Is rosegarden-de...@lists.sourceforge.net down?

2013-10-25 Thread Tom Breton (Tehom)

 Tom Breton is trying to work through various complicated issues related
 to tuplets, I think.  I haven't heard much out of him in a long time.

This is probably as good a time as any to update you on my work.

Yes, I'm working on tuplets.  Right now, what I have is both better and
worse.  It does some of the tricky tuplet stuff without batting an eye. 
No more grabbing 3 notes of any duration.  No more funny rests appearing. 
Tuplets chord like other notes.  I can even input 5-against-3 and it makes
sense of it (groups it into 15-lets)

On the other hand, it is not mature.  Right now, 17-lets can crash it or
surprise it so much that it makes normal-looking untupleted 16ths with
17:16 durations.  It doesn't obey existing beaming; I am working on that
today.

It is unstable enough that I haven't dared even put it on a branch yet,
but probably soon.

I can sketch out the basic design for you, though.  I've largely used
SegmentNotationHelper as an entry point.

I have to commend everyone who wrestled with that jungle before me.  There
were some very good ideas under the overgrowth, which I was able to keep,
though in a very mutated way:

 * insertNote fits into the existing note/rest splitting if it can,
instead of rebuilding.

 * There is a separate process of making viable.

 * That collects a list of durations - but now they store more information.

Instead of all the special cases and callers having to use
makeThisNoteViable, now when insertNote fails to find a good fit, I
rewrite the bar.

The major new classes:

 * PerformRatio, which encapsulates tupling.  Akin to a Notation Type, but
lesser; it doesn't have the I'm-an-event stuff like getAsEvent.  It just
deals with event properties.  I kept getting confused which of
tupledCount or untupledCount referred to the 3 in triplets and
which meant the 2, I named the class PerformRatio, and outside the
class the code refers to the numerator or denominator of the
performance ratio.  I find that less ambiguous.

 * RenotateableRegion.  This is the fallback when insertNote doesn't find
an existing place for a note.  It basically rewrites an interval.

 * MeterPiece, MeterPieceList: What the int that DurationList used to
store turned into.  Knows the duration, a tupling, how it fits into the
meter and how it wants to group with other notes.

 * MetricTreeNode.  We figure out MeterPieceList by splitting a bar
treewise; MetricTreeNode is a node in that tree.

 * EventJuggler.  Previously we were doing some amazing and complex things
so that NoteInsertionCommand could manage the selection without really
knowing what SegmentNotationHelper had done.  Now insertNote and
insertRest take a selection and manage it.  RenotateableRegion would lose
that information, but EventJuggler lets it hold on to it.

 * SegmentMutator: Basically contains old SegmentNotationHelper methods
that now want to manage an event selection.

 * GroupingData: Another lesser Notation Type. It knows how to beam events.

 * GroupingState: Basically GroupingData plus some info to help map old
beaming to new.  That's what I'm working on today.

 * RgMath: A namespace containing some integer math routines I needed. 
Mostly power-of-2 bithacks.

 * Various helper classes for them.

Re: [Rosegarden-user] How to cause rosegarden to record via a MIDI signal

2013-09-16 Thread Tom Breton (Tehom)
 I hate messing with it.  It's like playing that old Milton Bradley game
 where you use the tweezers to take out the little plastic bones, and if
 you touch the sides, you get shocked.  (It's not supposed to work like
 that?  Mine sure did!  I got many a jolt from that stupid thing.)

Milton Bradley should release Rosegarden Operation.  If you touch the
sides, the buzzer won't make any sound and you have to figure out why. :)

 That being the case, I'd be in favor of figuring out some other way.  Is
 there some likely MIDI message, an obscure controller, absolutely
 anything we could poll for and react to without having to fiddle with
 any of this other delicate stuff?  If so, I'd go that route.


IIUC we only inspect MappedEvent subtypes at a few places:

 * Where they come in or out in AlsaDriver
 * Where we insert them (or not), which you recently changed.  We only do
that when we're already recording.

Alsa was experimenting with some sort of RECORD signal, but I'm not sure
the current status of it.  There's a little about it here

Re: [Rosegarden-user] Does the current rosegarden record program-change messages?

2013-09-09 Thread Tom Breton (Tehom)

 I was surprised to find that rosegarden is not recording program change
 events.  Before I describe my setup in detail and what I've tried, I'd
 like to first make sure that I'm not expecting something that does not
 exist - so, as my subject suggests, my question is: Is the current
 version of rosegarden supposed to record program-change messages?

That decision was before my time, but the code suggests no.  The relevant
code is in RosegardenDocument::insertRecordedMidi (RosegardenDocument.cpp
line 2025).  When we get a program-change, we don't insert it.  We do read
it, pass it around and play it back if playthru is on.

Right.

 So I think I change my vote to hertz, although for those who might have

That makes sense.

 However,
 this appears to imply a choice of two different implementations, as
 well as the naming choice, since, e.g., 10 Hz is twice as slow as 10
 cycles per quarter note at q=120 bpm.  I suppose this just amounts to
 doing a calculation/conversion for the UI for one of the choices, so I
 suspect it's not a big deal.

Right, it's pretty easy to convert.

Re: [Rosegarden-user] current rosegarden on 2002 iBook (Debian) issues

2013-04-25 Thread Tom Breton (Tehom)
 I have renovated a 2002 ibook to run Debian and thought of trying the
 crazy
 idea of compiling rosegarden 13.04 on it. I installed the dependencies,
 got
 the code, ran  the bootstrap.sh ./configure and all went well until the
 build process. I get:

 g++: Internal error: Killed (progam cc1plus)
 Please submit a full bug report
 make: ***[data/data.o] Error 1

 Is it even possible to get 13.04 to run on PowerPC, or should I give up
 early? This is just a crazy project for me.

A compiler isn't supposed to crash on any input, no matter how crazy and
buggy the input is.  So that's probably indicating that g++ encountering
something severe, like running out of memory.

I know nothing about ibooks, but Rg does require a lot of memory to
compile.  I had problems compiling in 1 Gb, until I upgraded.

Re: [Rosegarden-user] Setup Automatic Pitch Bend?

2013-04-06 Thread Tom Breton (Tehom)

 By 10 arbitrary settings, do you mean individual notes?

No, not notes, settings.  User entries on the Pitchbend menu.  They
remember their last setting.  It sounds like you are not using a recent
version.  If so, this probably isn't making much sense to you.

On more recent versions, I added a number of controller commands that also
work for pitchbend.  They are accessible thru the Controllers submenu. 
They make this sort of thing easier.

 If so, the
 usefulness would soon break down as I deal with tunings such as 31 edo,
 which has 31 tones per octave. When you say place pitchbends, is there
 an
 automatic way to have all notes come with a pitchbend by default, or will
 I
 just be inserting them (which I already do)?

No.  In recent versions Controllers - Place places one pitchbend event
(or other controller) per selected note, set to the default value.  That
goes by what ruler is selected.  It does not detect the pitch of notes. 
You still have to set them to some non-default value that you like, but
now it's possible to do ~en masse~.

The whole procedure goes something like this:

 * Select All events
 * Bring up the pitchbend ruler (has to be before Place).  If you bring
up (say) the expression ruler, it will place expression controllers
instead, etc.
 * Controllers - Place
 * There will now be a default pitchbend (8192) on every note.
 * On the pitchbend ruler, select (say) all the pitchbends on D's
 * Controllers - Set
 * There will be a dialog
 * Choose Flat (which is the default)
 * Set it to the bend the D's should have, say 5611.
 * Done. All the notes you selected are bent about 37 cents upwards.

Re: [Rosegarden-user] Setup Automatic Pitch Bend?

2013-04-05 Thread Tom Breton (Tehom)
 I have been composing microtonal songs in Rosegarden, which means that
 none
 of the standard MIDI notes are the ones I'm interested in. To get the
 pitches I want, I have been applying a pitch bend event to the 12 piano
 pitches such as (50, 36) to A (77, 92) to D#, etc. to get the cents values
 I want. This does work flawlessly by hand, but it is time consuming. Is
 there a way to tell Rosegarden to bend ALL of a certain note, like a D, a
 certain amount? That way, whenever I enter a note, it is automatically
 pitch bent and it will save me time and effort? I would also need
 different
 configurations for different tuning systems.

Not in the sense of tune all D's 37 cents upwards.

Also if I understand what you want, that's more than General Midi
pitchbend can do.  Canonically, Pitchbend has a range of 2 semitones in
either direction, which won't bend A to D#.

Applying pitchbends and controllers repeatedly is a little easier than it
used to be.  You can store and recall 10 arbitrary settings.  See the
Controllers menu - I think it's in version 12.12 onwards.

You could also Place pitchbends on all the notes, then grab (say) all
the D's and set them ~en masse~ to what you want.

Re: [Rosegarden-user] copy and paste between rosegarden instances

 What is this chaos you speak of?  Each instance is self-contained.  At
 one point I had something like a dozen different versions of Rosegarden
 all running at the same time while testing something or other.

It's been a while, but I remember being very surprised that something I
did in one Rosegarden was reflected in the other instance.  I think I
started playing an empty composition and heard the other Rosegarden play. 
Maybe it was some other action.  It definitely surprised me.

It had nothing to do with confusing JACK - IIRC, JACK actually took all
that without a problem.

 One thing you might try is editing one, copying to clipboard, then edit
 the other and paste.  That works.

 I piddled around a few minutes trying to do that, and I see no way to
 get anything transferred from one instance to another through some
 intermediary external clipboard.  Does that really work somehow or other?

I must have explained it badly.  Perhaps in the context, it sounded like
two simultaneous instances of Rosegarden, which is not what I meant.  It's
one Rosegarden, two sequential edits.

 * First edit the first composition, the one you're going to copy from
 * Copy to clipboard.
 * Load the second composition, which removes the first one.
 * Paste from the clipboard.  It still has the selection from the first
composition.

An unintentional feature, but a nice one.

I do this from time to time.  It works, though obviously it's inconvenient
if you want to copy more than one thing.

There's experimental stuff not on the trunk.

Re: [Rosegarden-user] \RemoveEmptyStaves in lilypond output

2013-01-09 Thread Tom Breton (Tehom)
 Which brings me to another rosegarden-related question: is there a way
 to adjust the playback volumes for individual tracks?

 You can't achieve what you want fiddling with the volume levels in the
 mixer?  Something like that wants to be adjusted with overall volume, so
 the relative dynamics are preserved.  Maybe the expression controller
 too.  I forget how it works, but it's something to do with modifying
 volume response somehow or other.

Yes.  In GM expression is a sort of second volume control.  Expression and
Volume are multiplied together.  The idea is that you adjust the overall
track volume with Volume, while Expression controls the moment by moment
volume, say for a crescendo.

Which I hope helps the OP set things the way he wants.

 I'm mildly annoyed at how long it took to notice this controller thing,

Re: [Rosegarden-user] [Rosegarden-devel] Trouble with instrument programs and variations

2013-01-05 Thread Tom Breton (Tehom)

 I'm compiling it now and I'll see if it fixes this.

Mixed news: It fixes the problem just if MIDI Mixer Window is open.  Of
course knowing to open that window is not a real solution.

Since MIDI Mixer Window's slot appears to be the only slot that
instrumentParametersChanged terminates at, I'm going to have to refactor a
bit, probably adding a new slot to RosegardenMainWindow.  Don't want to
overstuff it, but it's dispatching instrumentParametersChanged in all its
manifestations, so ISTM that's the right palce.

Re: [Rosegarden-user] Trouble with instrument programs and variations

2013-01-04 Thread Tom Breton (Tehom)

 I couldn't find Send Bank Select checkbox on instrument parameter panel.

My bad; I was reading from the internal names.  Your settings seem correct
and should be sending the variation select.

The one thing I want to chase down is whether it's correct to send both
LSB and MSB before sending program change. 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_MIDI says yes. 
http://home.roadrunner.com/~jgglatt/tech/midispec.htm doesn't say.  I
can't test it on my cheap-o setup.

FWIW (and this is why I'm CC-ing the dev list), we are setting send bank
select in a suspicious way in MIDIInstrumentParameterPanel: Whichever of
variation or bank is set latest controls whether Instrument's send bank
select is set or cleared.  Both just call
m_selectedInstrument-setSendBankSelect(bool).  So if variation is set,
then cleared, Instrument will turn bank select entirely off.  This seems
wrong.

I *don't* think that can be the source of Marcio's problem.  He has both
checks on, so regardless the history he would have send bank select =
true, and if it were happening ISTM it would mess up banks rather than
clear the variation.

Re: [Rosegarden-user] [Rosegarden-devel] Trouble with instrument programs and variations

2013-01-04 Thread Tom Breton (Tehom)
 OBSERVATIONS:

 When all of this came up out of the box, the Volume for every instrument
 was set to 0.  I had to go change the volume to  0 to hear anything.
 In all cases, moving the volume knob DID NOT UPDATE the synth volume
 immediately, and the synth became out of sync with the GUI.  IPB shows
 volume 123 (number the synth won't have gotten to by accident, thus
 recognizable marker), synth does NOT show volume of 123 on ANY channel.
   No channel is affected until I move off to a different track and then
 back to the original track to trigger an update, after having previously
 changed the volume knob.

I tried to reproduce this but I couldn't.  Here's what I tried:

 * emu101k output (my usual)
 * Timidity++
 * QSynth

None of these showed any problem with volume.  All started at 100 and
responded audibly to volume changes without having to move around between
tracks.

One thing you say makes me wonder if I understand where you are looking:

 synth does NOT show volume of 123 on ANY channel.

So you are seeing this in the synth and not in RG?

I tried to check that, but only Qsynth let me see a separate control
panel, and I couldn't see anything in it that told me what volume it
thinks a channel has.

 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.

Works here too.

 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.

That shouldn't make a difference.  Preview notes are sent thru a separate
mechanism (ImmediateNote) that takes no notice of auto/fixed.

Odd.  I just checked the code of mine that I thought was at fault, and it
isn't.  It's already sending variation (ie, bank's LSB and MSB), though I

The only case where it wouldn't is if Send Bank Select is not checked on

There are more powerful ways, and I won't recommend this for serious

Arrange so that just percussion is playing (maybe turn on the metronome). 
It will either steadily say No event, or flash each event (too quickly

 Looking at that with fresh eyes, it looks likely there's another problem
 of the sort we've seen before with note on and note off getting out of
 whack, resulting in stupidly long notes that can't be split properly,
 and other problems.

 Tom did work on related issues for this release, so the latest
 Rosegarden is the first place to start.  If it's still happening with
 the latest Rosegarden, then obviously the issues aren't sorted yet.

Yes, but I don't think that's it.  The noteoff bug I made and fixed only
affected outgoing noteoffs, which only MIDI export looks at.  It was
because I used the wrong STL container, but now we're using the right one
(just checked), so the situation seems to afford no opportunity for that
particular bug to come back.

 Hi all,

 with MIDI-tracks there is no problem doing some automation with e.g.
 volume control messages. Can I automate the volume of audio tracks
 (fade-in, fade-out) with Rosegarden? Maybe with MIDI-capable plugins?

I'm not aware of any capability, and I just use an external program to
fade (sox).

I do know that if it existed, internally it would have little in common
with MIDI volume control.

Re: [Rosegarden-user] show pitch bend ruler: nothing happens

2012-11-03 Thread Tom Breton (Tehom)
 Hi all,

 I have a segment (synth plugin) where I use pitch bend. Recording and
 playing works but I can't edit the pitch bend events because I don't see
 them. The button show ptch bend ruler can be pressed but it has no
 effect. The button show velocity ruler works.

That is odd.  That button works for internal segments but not for synth
segments.

I did a little digging, but didn't find the problem.  We do check that
the device supports a control parameter of this name (in
ControlRulerWidget::slotToggleControlRuler) but at a cursory glance, that
check looks like it's satisfied.

 216 printf(pitch bend 01\n);
 217 if (!m_controlList) return;
 218 printf(pitch bend 02\n);

 The 2nd printf is never called. So we have no control list?

Oh, I think I see it!  ControlRulerWidget::setSegments, which makes
m_controlList, checks for a device of the right type - but it actually
only checks for MidiDevice.

Now I have to wonder how the other ruler buttons even work?  I just
looked, and it's because we do the three types of ruler completely
differently!

Only pitchbend uses slotToggleControlRuler or checks m_controlList.  So
not setting m_controlList for synth looks like a mistake.  I'll patch it.

 Hope you don't think I was being conceited.  If I come off that way,
 it's just because I'm constantly in a huge hurry, and I'm being terse.

 Anyway, looks like Tom restored the existing behavior for you.  Check it
 out!

 Actually, I think Lorenzo meant concerted :)

Heh, thanks for clearing that up.

 But what's puzzling me most is that I can't reproduce it in the current
 working version.  I did what I thought the steps were, but I must have
 missed something.

 First up, let's all get on the same page.  I read Lorenzo's message
 again and as far as I can tell we're all still talking about playback,
 _not_ recording.  If you found some weird recording thing, it's not what
 we're talking about.

Oh, I see.  Yes, I had found something different.  Thank you for setting
me straight!

 1. Draw a segment on track 1 and put some junk in it, set it to repeat

 This is our noise making source.  It repeats just so you have less junk
 to draw to slap the test together, and you could substitute a really
 long segment filled with lots and lots of junk (or even real music if
 you prefer!)

 2. While it's playing, change the instrument on track 1 from #1 to #2,
 which also changes the channel from 1 to 2 in the process.

Yes, that works to reproduce it.

I'm going to have a look at it.  I suspect it won't be that hard to fix.

OK, I've fixed it.

TrackButtons now reacts to changing the instrument by calling new function
SequenceManager::segmentInstrumentChanged on each segment on the affected
track.

A bit quick-and-dirty: segmentInstrumentChanged just remaps the segment. 
There's a much faster way to do it but it'd be more complex and it's not
clear that it needs to be that fast.

2012-10-26 Thread Tom Breton (Tehom)
 My question: do MIDI program change messages at least work during
 playback?  This is something that should be supported by any MIDI
 sequencer.

 -~Chris


You're asking about program change messages that set the instrument to
something different than what the track dialog at the left is showing?

If I understand your question, that will work if you set fixed channel and
uncheck Bank and Program in Instrument Parameters.
