This becomes relevant imo when NSM support will be added to guitarix

Maybe that is a bit confusing, but, connections are stored in the state
file (guitarix2_rc), not in the preset file (bank).
So, when you save a preset, no connections are stored, presets only
include the states of the controllers, (Knobs, sliders, selectors,
switchers, . . ) related to the engine.
When you quit guitarix, the current (UI) state will stored in the state
file, that including the connections.
The state file points to the preset file witch was last in use and load
it into the engine.
So guitarix will cover the last used state, before you quit guitarix.
Switch a preset file wouldn't change any connection.
Only if guitarix is controlled eg. started by jack-session manager, self
connection is disabled. Maybe NSM need a same behavior like jack-session
manager, I don't know? On 07/29/2012 05:47 AM, hermann meyer wrote:
Ok, so it seems that if you save the preset state with the wrong
connections, it stays wrong forever. Changing ports in guitarix, and
then hit 'save changes' doesn't do anything anymore after restarting
guitarix with the preset. It works here when I unselect all the port
in guitarix and then save the preset. Then I can handle the
connections correctly in NSM (or guitarix itself if I run it outside
the session).
Anyway, this feels pretty cumbersome and technically not 100% correct.

It is, it's a little tricky, . . . :-)
The preset to load is given by the guitarix state file, . . .
So, you can start guitarix with the -n parameter to give a name for the
(jack)instance,
example guitarix -n gx2.
guitarix will create a own state file for guitarix:gx2, select the
preset you will use, and quit guitarix.
Now, when you would like to start guitarix with this preset, just start
guitarix -n gx2. Create as many
state files you need the same way, maybe guitarix -n lead, . . .
rhythm,
. . .
If you use the name of the preset you like to load, you will have a
cool
overview of this stuff.
The name given by the -n parameter is the name witch is used for
connect
to jack, so for connections you must take care to use the correct name.
A other way is the -f parameter, . . .
Select the preset you would use to start guitarix, quit guitarix, go to
$HOME/.config/guitarix/
and copy and rename the file guitarix2_rc to what ever you like
(preset_name? _rc). Repeat that for any preset you need to start
guitarix with. To load the state file, start guitarix with
guitarix -f /were/ever/your/state_file/is_rc
Thx.
Does guitarix autoconnect to JACK? Afaik this is not proper practice
concerning JACK. Autoconnect might be an option but not the default and
it should at least be able to turn it off.
When using guitarix only or with a preset via nsm-proxy, guitarix amp is
always connected to the outputs of my soundcard, where it should only
connect to guitarix fx right?
When I disconnect those outputs and save the session (and the changes in
guitarix (this option is always available even when there are no changes
made, which is kind of not logic to me)), when restarting the session,
every time those connections from guitarix amp to output soundcard is
back :/
\r A workaround could be to "fake" a
jack-session-call, when you use the -U
-A flags,
guitarix -U 1 -A 2 -f /your/state_file_rc
that will disable any self-connection by guitarix.
This works when I give this as arguments in the nsm-proxy client, thanks
so far.
