These files and directories are created when a session is saved via
LASH, JACK Session, or native session management. Â I've seen this
behavior once before, when first working on LASH support, and it
turned out to be a character encoding problem with LASH supplied
directory names. Â The only thing I can think of here is to use the
"C" locale instead of obtaining locale from the user's environment,
so I've made this change in v0.14.97-dev. Â Could you try the latest
in git, and let me know how it goes?
Thanks,

IIRC for my Yamaha DX7 and the C64 software I've written, it was an issue,
when naming a sound with a special Japanese ASCII sign. AFAIR it was only
the combination of one sound + a special name including this sign, not an
issue when using this sign for other sounds. Voodoo ;). The old (first)
DX7 itself only provided capital letters, numbers and the dot, perhaps a
few additional signs, my sound bank manager enabled usage of other ASCII
signs.

FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE amd64
Greetings,
The subject says it all. I recently had a tech replace the batteries in
two Yamaha DPM11 mixers. As expected, all presets were lost, but I was
able to restore them by a direct sysex transmission from one unit to the
other (before that one's battery replacement). Alas, the transmitted
data doesn't "keep", i.e. when the machine is turned off the battery
appears to be draining its charge, because the presets are gone when I
power up again. Grrrr.
Also, simplesysexxer seems to receive and transmit a bulk dump with no
problems, but the units do not respond correctly. The first preset gets
copied, then I receive an error code "cE". I could make good use of the
machine's error code definitions now, but the only service manual I
found available on the net is from a private dealer who wants too much
money for it. I'll try contacting a retired Yamaha tech in Toledo OH,
but does anyone on these lists have an idea what I should do ? Btw, the
units work fine now, they just don't keep their presets.
Any & all assistance greatly appreciated !
Best,
dp
Currently, it's just for display and editing. There's no playback yet. And
it's still pre-alpha, so you can expect it to crash without expending too much
effort.
The biggest change is that I've implemented some of the edit boxes in the
track, clip, and unit dialogs. The fun one to play with is changing the staff
type (in the track dialog). Another important addition is that it's now
possible to start from an empty score and add tracks, clips, and events.
Unfortunately, you can't add tablature tunings from within the program yet.
And adding notes to chords and tuplets still causes problems.
There's no change to the font, so if you were brave enough to try out the
previous version and still have the font loaded, you don't need to reload it.
I put a commented out line for the -fpermissive flag in the project file. I'm
hoping it's not needed anymore. If it is needed for compile, please let me
know, since it means I'm doing something wrong with one of the template
classes.

It's written in C++ and uses Qt. There's no config or anything yet, just a Qt
project file. So, as an ordinary user:
1. Unpack to a directory of your choice and cd to it.
2. qmake
3. make
4. Install the Sqorlatti.ttf font. It's located in the fonts subdirectory. In
KDE you can install it by going to System Settings and clicking through
the tabs Computer Administration / Font Installer / Personal Fonts / Add.
5. To run, type
./Sqorlatti [filename]
where [filename] is an optional *.sqo file to open. A few example files are in
the examples directory.
Changes in Sqorlatti 0.1.2:
* Cleaned up include file paths.
* Fixed SqMainWindow::openStaffEditor() so tracks appear in order of selection.
* Added a few user-editible preferences.
* Fixed crashing after SqMainWindow::fileNew() by cleaning up MasterView.
* Allow adding Clips in Track dialog editor.
* Added undo for EventContainers (Clips Track, Unit, and Score).
* Allow changing staff type in track dialog. Note that if there's no tab
tuning, staff type defaults to std notation.
Known problems still not fixed:
* Adding/removing notes to chords or tuplets. Eventually causes crash.
* Undo for inserting events and containers through MasterView not combined
into a macro, so separate commands are issued for insert and edit. It's not
really wrong, just inconvenient and confusing.
* Changing or editing tab tunings not yet implemented. This means that you
can't create a new file within Sqorlatti that will display tablature. You can,
however, open examples/Tablature.sqo, edit it, and save it under a different
name. If you want different tab tunings (i.e. anything other than a standard
guitar), you have to edit the *.sqo file by hand. This should all be fixed by
version 0.1.3.

New in CAPS 0.9.4:
* selectable oversampling ratios for AmpVTS (2x,4x,8x)
* selectable sounds for Click (box, stick, beep; the second being
very close to the sound of the unit in 0.4.x)
* further smoothening of ChorusII modulation
* selectable oversampling ratios for Compress (2x,4x)
Also, a serious issue with Compress has been fixed: gain had been
applied before saturation, greatly reducing the effectiveness of the
unit. It's squashing smoothly now :)
The 10-band Eq has been fixed and now has a reasonably flat frequency
response.

version 0.1.1 fixes a few bugs:
*Fixed bug when not passing in a filename at startup.
*Added COPYING file. Added copyright templates to src files. Fixed
About box text.
*Fixed some undo/redo problems with drag & drop of events. Editing
notes within chords and tuplets still have problems.
My announcement for version 0.1.0 didn't seem to make it to the list, so
here's a repeat:
Yet another music notation program to pollute the internet. It's still just a
baby, but it already implements at least a few bugs.
It's not really ready for general use yet. The user interface is still rather
lacking and there are way too few sanity checks, but it does read and write
native *.sqo files (an xml format), and supports a crude and low-quality export
to standard MIDI files. The Staff Editor can display standard notation and
tablature moderately well, and work is ongoing to produce better percussion
staff and chord staff display. Tracks can be nested. Staffs can be grouped. The
score format supports multiple simultaneous time signatures.
Currently, it's just for display and editing. There's no playback yet.

Hi!
I was recently helping a small Dutch radio station run by volunteers to
set up their new studio.
It's a modular system with a 16 I/O firewire card:
http://www.d-r.nl/AXUM/AXUM.htm
We managed to support it in FFADO. The playback software runs on a
virtualised Windows machine that's talking to jackd via netjack (no idea
which one, the one with multicast and netmanager), so we can address
four individual stereo pairs.
This whole netjack thing isn't very stable, so the playback software
should be replaced by some native Linux client. Here's a screenshot of
the current Windows solution:
http://adi.loris.tv/radio.png
It is basically a set of four remotely controlled winamps (with ASIO
output plugin to talk to jackd) and a directory browser per player.
So "Jingles", "Muziek" and "Bladeren" are just shortcuts to directories
with media files, the drop-down menu on the left contains a list of even
more directories.
The filter is used for pattern matching.
Questions: Are you aware of any Linux solution that comes close to this?
If not, any recommendations if one would want to create such a four-deck
player? Leveraging VLC, mplayer, gstreamer?
This is surely going to be open source, so whoever is interested, feel
free to participate.
Cheers
Hi!
Any Ubuntu users around, "quantal" or "raring" release? If so, could you
test if your gstreamer1.0 installation can play MP3s?
Recipe:
1. Install everything with gstreamer1.0* in its name, maybe
$ sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0* does the trick
If you want finer control, I guess
gstreamer1.0-plugins-base gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad
gstreamer1.0-plugins-good gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly
gstreamer1.0-libav gstreamer1.0-tools
is the proper set of packages.
2. Run the pipeline:
$ gst-launch-1.0 uridecodebin uri=file:///path/to/foo.mp3 ! fakesink
Instead of "fakesink", you can also try "autoaudiosink" or the even more
complex "audioconvert ! audioresample ! jackaudiosink", but that's
actually not the question.
In the good case, it looks like this:
adi@chopin:~$ gst-launch-1.0 uridecodebin uri=file:///tmp/foo.mp3 ! fakesink
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
Pipeline is PREROLLING ...
Pipeline is PREROLLED ...
Setting pipeline to PLAYING ...
New clock: GstSystemClock
Got EOS from element "pipeline0".
Execution ended after 2085409390 ns.
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
Setting pipeline to READY ...
Setting pipeline to NULL ...
Freeing pipeline ...
In the bad case, you'll get error messages about codecs or a pipeline
that doesn't want to preroll.
Any feedback would be highly appreciated, it'd save me from installing
Ubuntu into a VM. ;)
TIA

This looks like the same nodoka warnings and segfault Dave Phillips was
seeing. Â Git branch v0.14.97-dev contains all the new fixes. Â v0.14.97
should be out by the end of the week.

Thanks Adrian,
This is now in git v0.14.97-dev. Â The jack_bufsize crash you reported
on github is also fixed. Â These seem to be the last of the build/crash
issues with v0.14.96, so now I can concentrate on getting v0.14.97 out
by the end of the week.
