Re: [linux-audio-user] rosegarden dssi problem

This mail accidently went as personal mail, so here it is again sent to the list. Chris Cannam wrote: The version I'm talking about is 1.2_cvs 3.4.3 The binary date: 2006-01-15 22:52 /usr/bin/rosegarden All plugins are affected. Right it doesn't have any synth plugins by default, but I saved another project with dssi-synth-plugins as default-studio. (Menu: Composition/Studio/Save current project as default) If rosegarden is started, there's the default-studio loaded first. This plays the plugins. But if I open other projects with synth-plugins, they are all quit then. Also there was a situation, when the select dialog-window for the synth-plugin got confused: There was a synth-plugin selected, but the synth-instrument-list showed the patches for the previously selected fluid-dssi. Other errors I get, if I try to save synth-instruments (patches): " WhySynth: load error: no patches recognized in patch file '/home/admin/.whysynth/WhySynth_patches-_plugin_dssi_10007_synth_WhySynth' " " Xsynth: patch configuration failed: corrupt data " I will try a more recent cvs-snapshot soon. Some other things I would enjoy to see: (just my thoughts and suggestion) - In the track-editor it is possible to duplicate segments by holding <strg>+drag. This should be possible in the matrix editor as well for note-events (for consequency), but doesn't. - The matrix editor is nice for note input and editing, but I sometimes accidently put notes. This requires me to select the eraser-tool and back to the draw-tool. What about introducing some trick?: Double-clicking the note on the (very) left side, to erase it. This behaviour would also be very usefull in the drum-editor. At the moment the event-property-dialog appears on double-click: move it to the right-mbutton-menu instead. Reason: It will be much less used, than the eraser tool (I assume). - matrix-editor: The draw and resize-tools should allow events to be resized by click-dragging them on the right side because moving and resizing is often done mutual. - I've seen a "brush" tool in some sequencers, allowing many notes to be drawn by clicking and draging, with the note-position specified by the grid and note-lenght by quantisation. This is also usfull for drum (hihat) editing. - taste but: The mouse jumps to the note-event-start on mouse-click with move/select-tool. I would prefere it to keep the position relative to the event. - in the german version, "velocity" is bad translated. In this case velocity is not "Geschwindigkeit". "velocity" is "Anschlagstärke" here and "adjust (event-)velocities" is "Anschlagstärke (der Töne) setzen" - The accordname-ruler in the matrix editor doesn't view anyting. - symbols for the main-toolbar for metronome on/off , solo on/off - make the transport (re-)disappear by repressing the T-key. - there's already the nice command 'Join overlapping notes with equal pitches'. This could be extended by the command: 'Shorten preceeding overlapping note, so that it ends 1/64 before the following (equal pitched) note.' (legato) - Velocity Property Ruler: allow 'free-draw properties' . Bring velocities of selected notes to front. 'Draw property line' now affects all events. Maybe affecting selected events only would be more powerfull. - The project (and propably tracks) could have a small notepad for notices. (I would use it for some hints, how to continue editing, reminding me to make coffee etc.) Thanks for all efforts and this versatile program Emanuel
