Hi everyone,
I'm pleased to announce the release Tranches and Tapeutape.
(my first release !!! )

Tapeutape is a midi-controlled virtual sampler.It is highly
configurable,lets you create instruments/kits/setups and is designed for
live performance.It works on Gnu/Linux with the jack sound server.
There's a command-line and a gui version.
It can be found at http://www.hitmuri.com/Tapeutape
An example of what can be done with it :

Tranches is a midi-controlled multi-(inputs|outputs) live beat
repeat|redirect tool for the jack sound server on Gnu/Linux !!! There's
a command-line and a gui version.

hi, i tried now building both appis, first editing the SConstruct file, so that it installs in /usr/local, than running scons both times successfully!

did not played with it still, so i cannot make any seriously comments on the functionality, but  for now, tranches is segfaulting while loading the example.tra file.

i ll do some real tests in the next days and report!

thanks and cheers,
doc


Did you launch tranches while an app was the transport master for jack ?
Otherwise tranches will segfault (i'll fix this soon), usually i start seq24 as the transport master and then press the play button in it.
After that i launch tranches .
Actually tranches need to know the bpm of jack transport, that's why it segfault if transport is not active .
I'll find a way to fix this, it shouldn't be too complicated .

please give me some time to found out more about tranches and do some serious test.
i tried now running seq24 as a transport master, but still the segfault.

i ll report (promise!).

cheers,
doc

ok, looks like this here:

i changed the example file in tapeutape, so that the paths to the samples are showing to some samples in my homedir, and look  - it works very well  with seq24  and jack.
unfortunately, i really don´t understand the example file in tranches.
is tranches designed to control  a hardware midi  stuff (i don´t have any here)?

generally, please don´t get me wrong or nonconstructive, but for me editing the example file for being able to play samples is really complicated!
what we need is some "specimen" mechanism, but i don´t know how heavy it is to design sth like that. ( i can imagine, it is not simple at all!)

for now, tapeutape works good and stable here, i ll play more with this!!

thanks for your work and the support,
cheers,

First of all ,yes tranches is supposed to work with a midi interface, actually i made it because i'm working on a project for university to create an application which lets you design and use graphical midi/osc controllers (2D and 3D) , so i was planning to use tranches with it.

For now i use it with either my midi controller or with virtual controllers such as virtual keyboard (vkeybd) and midicontroller(http://sourceforge.net/projects/midicontrol/) , you should try these .
Or maybe i could put a button and three sliders to simply use tranches with the gui, let me know if you think this would be better .


AS for the xml config in tapeutape ...
the first thing is that it wasn't planned to do a gui version.
So xml file is the simpler solution, but maybe it is quite confusing to gui users, even with the reload/reset menu item.
I think i'll add a gui to create kits when i have time for it , actually i have already made some of the components (keyboard for the midi notes, and a graphical array for the velocities).


Glad you appreciate tapeutape !!!
Thanks for testing ;)
