  That's odd.  I would think the opposite would be true.  The "auto" 
stuff has been abandoned by me in the code and "fixed" is really the 
only thing that should work.


  Can you provide a small example file that illustrates the problem? 
Not the switching from one to the other issue, that's probably obvious 
and easy to fix, and I will have a look.  I'm more interested in the 
"incorrect patch sounds" issue which sounds new and legit.  Can you make 
this happen in "fixed" mode and send me a small example of that?


  I'm guessing that patch selects aren't getting sent out when they 
should in "fixed" mode.  "auto" tends to force patch selects out all the 
time, so it probably inadvertently "fixes" your issue.


Thanks.
Ted.

Re: [Rosegarden-user] Testing Appreciated for 20.12

2020-11-06 Thread chuck elliot via Rosegarden-user

'have been using 20.12 for a couple of days and all seems good.

Most of the updates don't affect me but I did try out the new marker

stuff and that seems to work fine. One thing that I have noticed in this

and previous versions is that my channel setting of 'auto' on a drum

track does not appear to be saved in the .rg file and keeps reverting to

'fixed' on reload. This gives me incorrect patch sounds and has to be

reset every time.

cheers,

20.12 will be released on December 9.  Right now, what you see in svn 
is the release candidate.  Please test the latest svn as much as you 
can. If you've not built from svn, give it a shot and let us know if 
you run into trouble.  We'll walk you through it.


  The steps I follow for building from svn are here:

https://www.rosegardenmusic.com/wiki/dev:eclipse

  Suggested areas to test:

  - Restoration of connections to external MIDI hardware and software 
on .rg file load.

    - We should be doing a better job with this now.

  - New marker menu items in the composition menu.
    - Composition > Add Marker at Playback Position
    - Composition > Jump to Previous Marker
    - Composition > Jump to Next Marker

  - Better support for not sending out CCs for controllers that are 
not visible on the UI.  E.g. if you make Volume not visible via the 
device manager, no volume CCs will be generated by RG. Only volume CCs 
in the Segments will be sent out.


  - External Controller port for control surfaces.
    - This was broken in 20.06.  Should work now.
    - Enable/Disable via preferences.
    - Type of control surface configurable via preferences.

  - Korg nanoKONTROL2 control surface is now supported automatically.
    - This should be auto detected and auto connected at rg startup.
    - All buttons, knobs, and sliders should work.
    - The LEDs are partially supported.  If you configure the 
nanoKONTROL2 for external LED control, the LEDs will work except when 
recording.  So the record LED will appear to not work.  If you would 
like to test this, let me know if you need the sysex files to 
configure the nanoKONTROL2 for external control of the LEDs.


  - Transport buttons on MIDI controllers.
    - If you have a MIDI controller with play, stop, record, FF, Rew, 
etc... buttons, chances are good those will work now.  At least if 
they are configured for Pro Tools.


  - Preferences cleanup.
    - Some regression testing of the preferences dialogs is needed.

  - Event editor
    - General editing.
    - SysEx.  SysEx handling and editing has been improved.

  - Toolbar Icon
    - Code cleanup.  Make sure they look the same.

  - Percussion Matrix editor.
    - Some changes here related to note duration.

  Most importantly, do what you usually do.  That will hit the areas 
that I missed.


Thanks.
Ted.
