Yes, Tracktion came close to running on Linux using WINE. Parts of the UI did
not work and nothing played but ... temptingly close.
This was when they were giving away version 1. Now there is version 2 and both
versions cost. Will Mackie go through the trouble of supplying a native Linux
port? The Linux audio community likes its software opensource. Juce is but
Tracktion is not. Only if enough of us are willing to fork out the cash and
let Mackie know this ....
(It is not as simple as a recompile. Getting acceptable audio performance,
likely using jack, will take some nice work!)
Hello.
I wanted to make a MIDI file of the type:
bank change, program change, note, note, note, program change, note, etc.
I have no idea how that is made in Rosegarden.
Matrix editor seems to not allow to make bank and program changes
explicitly. The bank and program change menues seems to be GM banks
only, and perhaps are related to my sound card synth only. Instead,
I want changes like "bank 3, program 17" for the hardware I don't have.
The list editor looks better but it is not clear what should be
written to the Event Type field. A menu "add event" with full list
of possibilities would be useful here. What I should write for the
bank and program change?
-*-
But now I have another problem: when I try to run Rosegarden again,
I get dialog "Rosegarden does not appear to have been installed".
What a shitty program you have there!! It appears (after reboot)
that Rosegarden installation has gone permanently. I have used
Rosegarden succesfully many times. I cannot think any reason why
this happened -- I did not do anything except editing. I think
I'm not going to re-install Rosegarden if it itself prefers to
be uninstalled.
What other MIDI editor would allow a better control over the
MIDI event placement?

Hi,
Just noticed about this recent release of JUCE 1.10:
(http://www.rawmaterialsoftware.com/juce/)
which I think is the first one ready for build on Linux. Indeed, I've just
tested the "jucedemo" program and it seems to be running quite fine.
Impressive, I may say.
As expected, only the GUI code is now working, and I almost sure it is
working pretty well, at least on my X.org boxes. I'm quite excited to know
that JUCE Linux native port has evolved and is materializing.
However, the Audio and MIDI abstraction framework is still to be filled in.
And this is exactly the purpose of this very post--yet again, if you
remember, since last January exchange on this :)
You might remember then, that I've brought this very subject into
attention to the Linux Audio Developers and USers (LAD/LAU) mailing list,
and to put a long story short: help is being here reiterated to write the
native Linux Audio and MIDI implementations of the JUCE C++ framework,
which among other things, may bring a native Tracktion Linux port into
light :P
Given that JUCE is being released under the GPL, and if some of the LADs are
willing to help (me included), things just could happen sooner than later ;)
That said, I'm all about taking explicit directions for a JACK
implementation on JUCE's Audio interface, and ALSA-sequencer for MIDI. Is
there something already in the works or is it something that some of us
(the LADs) can step in and give a hand ?
And what about public hosting of the JUCE project, given that its being
released under an open-source license (GPL)? Yet again, this is just a
humble suggestion of mine. To give you an hint, sourceforge.net's project
name "juce" is still available for registration, or so I believe.
I'll be very happy to know about some comments on this. Specially from the
LADs. Thanks anyway.
Cheers.

I think the M-Audio Ozonic was shown at the LAC2005 conference as an example
of a device that will be supported by the Freebob (http://freebob.sf.net -
seems broken right now..) drivers.
There is now a prealpha version of the driver (that produced sound at the
conference, here's a video of the presentation:
http://www.linuxdj.com/audio/lad/contrib/zkm_meeting_2005/).
They said they might have beta quality drivers in a couple of months.
Buying a device now might be a bit premature, unless you want to help
debugging it.

Robert

This is a common problem. Midi exported from a program either lacks and
"program" (patches) commands or the importing program ignores them. In
Rosegarten, go to each track and reselect the instrument, bank, etc. Then it
should play.
Well it is not really a problem but...I would like to solve it anyway!:-)
Everything seems to run fine, but I can't set input channels level at 0.0
but only stepping from -0.1 to +0.1: I do not manage to hear the difference
between -0.1 to 0.0 but I would really like to have a perfectly tuned
system! :-P
Can anyone help?
I tried moving slides by mouse and no way to get 0.0 setting.
Bye!

Hi guys, has anyone had any luck getting the M-Audio Ozonic firewire
Midi Controller and I/O device working in linux? Or is this known not
to work. What's a good firewire in box if this doesn't work?
Thanks,

Hi all,
Getting a new electronic drum kit today, so I'll be needing a midi
interface. I have an Asus A7V8X-X, which claims to have midi support
on the VIA chipset. Finding the headers for the mobo is difficult.
Assuming I can't find them, what's a good PCI mpu-401 interface that
works well with linux kernel 2.6? I'd like to stay away from anything
that requires me to load proprietary firmware. I expect to need 2
ports. More would be good if it's not too expensive.
If I need to, I guess I could pick up some cheap Creative labs boards-
my old SBLive had a midi interface.

Hello all,
I just noticed that initial JACK-transport support has been added to the
latest version of Tutka (0.12.3). Transport integration still has its
issues, but based on initial tests, Tutka seems really promising.
I noticed that there haven't been (m)any mails about Tutka on lau/lad, so
I guess it's not all that wellknown. It uses the Soundtracker tracker
widget (another favorite app of mine :)), and uses the ALSA sequencer
subsystem (starting with 0.12.2). The app is actually very stable,
which makes it even more promising.
Some links:

(if you have trouble compiling with JACK-support, try this
patch... already sent to the author)
