Hi guys,
I'm looking for a program which can act as a Jack transport *and* time
master.
It should feature : set tempo/bar
- save /load profiles (primarily tempo )
- the profiles should be easily accessable and load fast (for live
gigs/switching between songs)
nice to haves:
- metronome
- midi controllable (program change for loading profiles)
- if possible constrained only to these features
I've been using ardour live as time master, but it takes toooo long to
load projects (15s-30s, that breaks the flow of a gig!).
Hydrogen loads faster but it messes up time sync when using sooperlooper
as slave. (SL works fine with ardour).
Thanks, Gerald/JimsonDrift

Maybe this could be interesting:

together with its GUI:

Hydrogen used to be or is still not that good with Jack transport :(

I tried gtklick and I couldn't get it to serve as a time master.

I see indeed. The cli version (klick) can do this though with the -T
option. Bummer that the GTK version can't do this. It does have a
.gtklickrc file but that doesn't allow to set Jack settings either. I've
filed an issue about it.

Oh great, I'll dig into creating a patch for gtklick if needed!

FYI, I looked at gtklicks code. It communicated with klick via OSC
It looks trivial to add the -T as a widget to gtklick, but the problem
is, as I can tell from klicks manual, is that the -T option is not
exposed via OSC :(
But there's a workaround:
First one can start klick manually with the -T option.
After that start gtklick and it checks if klick is running and connects
to it over OSC.
I'll try the workaround and give you guys an update this evening or
tomorrow...

I'm curious if this works so yes, please report back!

Hi Jeremy, well the workaround doesn't work.
I first started klick with:
klick -T -o 8800
then:
gtklick -q 8800
Then I started sooperlooper (SL) with sync source set to jack. SL then
shows a tempo of -0.0. When I set a tempo, say 110bpm in gtklick,
SL's tempo doesn't change.
But when I quit gtklick and restart klick with
klick -T 50,
SL shows 50bpm, same with other values.
So it seems that once klick is in OSC mode it ignores the -T option :(
