Rosegarden needs jack but jack-Clients can start jack bei themselves. I recommend starting jackd before all jack-Clients – either with tools like Qjackctl or in a shell script. (The dbus magic is just another way to start jackd) Since only one audio system can grab your soundcard many problems can arise, e.g. you have to make sure that Pulseaudio doesn't grab it before jackd can grab it. I made jackd my main system and configured Pulseaudio to output via jackd: http://marzen.de/Holger/pulseaudio_and_jack/-- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot___ Rosegarden-user mailing list Rosegarden-user@lists.sourceforge.net - use the link below to unsubscribe https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rosegarden-user

Maybe it's some kind of CPU problem, running on the limit. Do you have "RT" values (bottom of the Rosegarden window) bigger than 50?

The sounds that are produced by synth plugins go to audio connections, not MIDI connections. If you have no other programs or hardware that needs MIDI data then don't mind about Rosegarden's MIDI out, only audio.

I recommend installing and loading fluidsynth-dssi into a Rosegarden-track of type "Synthesizer Plugin". Then load a GM soundfont into fluidsynth. Most distributions offer the package fluid-soundfont-gm, a very good soundfont that resides in /usr/share/sounds/sf2/FluidR3_GM.sf2 after installation. Using the plugin makes it simple to save the settings with your song and offers as low latency as possible. You can find other good soundfonts all over the web.

For the first 11 minutes I thought it's mixed down to mono :) What plugins did you use? How many subgroups? Did you use an external mixer or plugin host? My experience is similar: No problems with plugins. But deleting audio clips was "dangerous".

I plugged it in, and it worked. It's absolutely reliable. I use it via jackd all the time, even when listening to music or watching videos. I configured pulseaudio to use jacks, so everything works. The 2i2 runs for hours and hours without making trouble (like my old M-Audio Fast Track Pro which started cyloning). But the 2i2 doesn't have a mixer. No problem, I hear you say, we have jack_mixer. Yes, we have, but how do we tell all the jack-clients to connect to the mixer's input instead of system:playback? Don't cry in despair, there is a solution: jack.plumbing If jack.plumbing is active and its ruleset is carefully crafted, then the magic can happen and jack.plumbing disconnects jack-clients from system:playback and connects them to jack_mixer.

Some distributions offer one. If the kernel version you prefer doesn't offer a lowlatency one you can build your own. - Get the source (preferably the same version of your running kernel) - Unpack the source - cd to the source - cp /boot/config- .config - make oldconfig - make menuconfig Processor type and features Preemption Model: Low-Latency Desktop Timer Frequency: 1000 HZ The rest depends on your distribution.

[Rosegarden-user] LADSPA-plugin with receiving JACK-port?
Hi all, Rosegarden know no real send/receive but at least it has some poor man's send: It can open an outgoing JACK port for each instrument and submaster. Unfortunately there is no receiving port, e.g. in submasters so I would have to cascade an external JACK mixer to put it all together. But if only there was a LADSPA-plugin that would open a receiving JACK port then I could insert it in a submaster and feed the external signal (e.g. an effect in an LV2 plugin in LV2rack) back. Does anyone know of such a LADSPA-plugin? Best regards Holger -- How ServiceNow helps IT people transform IT departments: 1. A cloud service to automate IT design, transition and operations 2.

Hi David, I use Xubuntu 12.04 and I am happy with it. My interface is a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. There are no stability issues. I use the synths as DSSI-modules (fluidsynth, hexter, whysynth) for minimum latency and easy storing/restoring their settings. - I use the distribution's kernel source with the following tweaks for minimum latency: make menuconfig Processor type and features Preemption Model: Low-Latency Desktop Timer Frequency: 1000 HZ make-kpkg clean fakeroot make-kpkg -j 4 --initrd --revision=1.0.hm kernel_image kernel_headers Then I have 2 .deb-packages that I install with dpkg -i - I tweak fluidsynth-dssi to run it on 24 instruments at once in dssi.h #define FSD_CHANNEL_COUNT 25 - I tweak hexter in src/hexter.h #define HEXTER_DEFAULT_POLYPHONY 32 Regards Holger -- Everyone hates slow websites.

E.g. the graphical multiband EQ has some noticeble latency. Rosegarden handles this already. Kudos to the developers! - But there is an off-by-one bug in latency compensation in subgroups - Audio tracks don't get latency compensated (delayed) at all: 1.) Set up a synth plugin track 2.) Record vocals and align them, so they are in sync 3.) Add artificial latancy plugin to the synth plugin track, e.g. 500 ms 4.) Audio track is out of sync. These are real annoying bugs because I have to align each audio snippet when adding plugins to synth plugin tracks. Maybe (I am no god and don't know everything) this is the reason I hardly encounter pop-like songs recorded with Rosegarden where we have drums and bass that have to be aligned together with vocals.

Most music I encounter that's made with Rosegarden or other Open Source Software avoids instruments that need exact timings. I don't know if it's caused by lacking/faulty latency compensation. But it's an important thing, at least for me. It's easy to imagine that many musicians tried Open Source software and ran away when they noticed that it doesn't sound as exact and doesn't get the groove as in commercial sowftare. That's bad. Unfortunately I can't do C++ and doesn't understand the internal concepts of Rosegarden. But I think it's damn important that - we get the off-by-one latency compensation bug in subgroups fixed - we get the missing "audio tracks don't get latency compensated at all" feature added - we get a positive/negative time offset in milliseconds per track added or at least a milliseconds entry field, so I could delay every track by 100 ms and use e.g. 90 ms as a substitue for -10 ms. That would Rosegarden make an outstanding DAW. Its track concept and its matrix and drum editors are already very good. It's (for me) much more important to get these bugs fixed than to add LV2 plugin capability or audio automation. -- Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.

[Rosegarden-user] Time-Offsets
Hi all, unfortunately some synth plugin's sounds (sample based soundfonts) are "slow" so I have to pull them some milliseconds back in the timeline. It would be sooo fine if I could use Rosegarden's Delay per track. +- one second in milliseconds steps would be perfect. Without that feature I have to mark all segments on a track, zoom to 2000% and move the segments mit shift+mouse. Alt-left is too coarse. Editing start of the segment (Segment->Set start time) puts all the marked segments at the same position. The disadvantage of shifting the segments: You can't edit them afterwards since the notes are not on their old positions anymore (e.g. exact 1/8 pos.). So you have to remember the shift amount, shift them back to a position in the "raster", edit them and shift them again. This would also be a good workaround for the missing latency compensation for audio tracks. Any chance for this feature? For "Regentag" I had to shift the two 808 style drum sounds I composed the snare drum sound of. Shifted segments (track SN and SN2): http://www.marzen.de/tmp/rg1.jpg Note in a shifted segment not exactly on the grid anymore, that's the way Rosegarden handles shifted segments: http://www.marzen.de/tmp/rg2.jpg The song: http://www.myownmusic.de/player/?songid=346530 Regards Holger (If a few bucks could help then I'd donate again) -- Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.

OK, I am half way there: - Bass drum panned to left, routed to a submaster - Bass panned to right, routed to the same submaster - sc2 compressor as plugin in the submaster attack time minimum release time 80 ms threshold minimum ration max makeup gain 12 Now a ducked bass is on the left but a unchanged bass on the right.

By trying some tricks with grouping I noticed that I can't set the audio mixer to 8 submasters. Rosegarden crashes immediately. I think there might be a bug both with storing the value of the number of subgroups. Rosegarden always starts with 4 subgroups, even when I delete ~./config/rosegardenmusic. But audio mixer's Settings->Number of Submasters always displays the button besides "No submasters". So I guess the 4 submasters are a default value.

[Rosegarden-user] Audio files: why conv-...
Hi all, to keep audio files in my project directory I always change their path in Composition->Edit Document Properties->Audio. But Rosegarden has some problems with recorded and deleted audio files. Some of them are forgotten, and after a hand full of retries (record audio, ctrl-z, redord again) Rosegarden crashes. Additionally, I cannot play a loop and record multiple versions of an audio file. So I have a not-too-bad workaround: Rosegarden plays the loop and I record the audio stuff with Audacity. That's the point where it gets a bit complicated: When I import the audio files then Rosegarden creates a copy with prefix "conv" in its name, although I export the wav-files in 32 Bit float. It would be simpler if rosegarden would just read the imported wav-file instead copying them. Is this possible? Regards Holger P.S.: Editing the conv-files afterwards with Audacity is possible without deleting and re-importing them. -- LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.

[Rosegarden-user] fluidsynth-dssi: instance limit
Create 16 tracks with fluidsynth as dssi plugin, each its own instrument. Works. Save the .rg-file. Load it again. Instrument #16 is dead and can only be revived with reloading fluidsynth-dssi. Creating a 17th instrument with fluidsynth-dssi can lead to anything, including noise and frozen Rosegarden. Standard fluidsynth-dssi is configured with max. 16 instances, so there might be a race condition: it can't always initialize all 16 instances. The solution requires re-compiling fluidsynth-dssi (not the whole fluidsynth). See http://sourceforge.net/projects/dssi/files/fluidsynth-dssi/ and grab the latest version (1.0.0). In README there's the hint: 4. If you wish to change the maximum number of simultaneous instances supported by FluidSynth-DSSI (currently 16), edit the file src/fluidsynth-dssi.h and change the FSD_CHANNEL_COUNT definition. I set it on 25. That's perfect for Rosegarden (max. 24 synthesizer plugin instruments plus one for the race condition). -- Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.

On my Xubuntu 11.10 I never had a problem. Rosegarden started and endet my jackd. My .jackdrc was "/usr/bin/jackd -dalsa -r44100 -p128 -n2 -Xseq -D -Chw:5,1 -Phw:0,1" But since JACK has so many advantages (e.g. recording flash-sound when running firefox to record streaming-only content in the web) I decided that all applications should be redirected to jack. This works with the following ~./asoundrc or /etc/asound.conf: pcm.!default { type plug slave.pcm "jack" } pcm.jack { type jack playback_ports { 0 system:playback_1 1 system:playback_2 } capture_ports { 0 system:capture_1 1 system:capture_2 } } My jackd is now started by qjackctl that's autonatically started by my session manager. I can now even record the sound that's produced by virtual machines (VirtualBox), eg. browser sounds of a Windows-VM. -- Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.

Depends on your PC. I had some problems with Rosegarden running faster and slower. But this wasn't Rosegarden's fault. On Intel Core-CPUs we have 2 mechanisms setting CPU speed: - Speedstep - Turbo Boost While the Linux system timer can handle Speedstep (e.g. set by cpufreqd) it can't handle Turbo Boost. Turbo Boost increases CPU's clock when only one CPU-core need's more power. My solution: Disable Turbo Boost in the PC's BIOS. -- Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.

Yes, but loading one into each instance is necessary. > By midi channel you mean communications like 131:0? > [I thought a midi channel was like one of 16 musical > instrument sounds available per synthesizer] MIDI-Channels go from 1 to 16. In the Hardware-world MIDI is a bus system where you can daisy-chain many synthesizers. Each synthesizer is set to a unique channel so note-on- (and other commands) can be directed to the desired synthesizer. The commands include a field for the channel-no. > I managed to create 3 instances of Qsynth and then included > them in Rosegarden "Manage-Midi-Devices" and got them to > play some segments.

Zyn and fluidsynth (the core of qsynth) are totally different. Zyn is a synthesizer that has configurations or "patches" for each sound. There is no standard way of organising them. Fluidsynth is a soundfont-player or a play-only-sampler. In the soundfonts there are samples and settings. In the case of a "General MIDI soundfont" there is a standard way to organize the sounds. I am no expert in the world of assigning descriptions to sounds. There is much more to know. For example there are some description files for some well known synthesizers and their factory sounds. > Right clicking on the track title in Rosegarden offers up > to chose the Qsynth instance and 16 numbers, how do I > corelate those numbers to sounds in the loaded sf2 file? > Suppose I want that track to play a deep cello, where and > how do I set that? > > So much for virtual midi 'devices'. I organize it differently. For each instrument I use a separate track and a separate synthesizer plugin instrument. Then there's no hassle with MIDI-channels: Track 1 - fluidsynth synth plugin - instrument 1 - soundfont x with program a Track 2 - fluidsynth synth plugin - instrument 2 - soundfont x with program b Track 3 - zynadsubfx synth plugin - instrument 3 - program c Track 4 - whysythn synth plugin - instrument 4 - program d It's handy to always have track number and instrument number equal. This is not always possible since you can have MIDI, synth plugin and audio tracks. It's a good idea to have a fluidsynth with a selected drum program (e.g. "standard") on track 10, instrument 10. It can be used as metronome. My way of doing it is having as many synth plugin tracks as I need, e.g. from 1 to 12 and then start the audio tracks behind. > > Bit I recommend using fluidsynth as synth plugin instruments in > > Rosegarden, each with its own soundfont.

CPU time is always needed für synths, regardless if they are loaded as DSSI-plugins or if they are started as standalone programs like Qsynth. The author means LADSPA-plugins to create effects like equalizer, reverb, phaser and others. But they are meant to be used, so use them if you need them :) > Anyway, I right click on a track #3 title and select "Synth > Plugin" and the number 14 meaning that this synth DSSI plugin > (to be next defined) will be used by Rosegarden internally > without setting it up as a "Midi-Playback-Device".

You can create several instances (green cross on the bottom left) in Qsynth, each with another soundfont and MIDI-channel. That sould be the way to go. Bit I recommend using fluidsynth as synth plugin instruments in Rosegarden, each with its own soundfont. Latency is much better and Rosegarden remembers all settings.

Any hints appreciated. Any > other good free or commercial sources? Use fluidsynth as a synth plugin instrument. Go to its settings and load the appropriate soundfont and select the desired instrument out of the list. I have always switch to an arbitrary instrument and back to the desired instrument until fluidsynth uses it. Your selection is stored when you save your .rg-file. You can have up to 24 instruments, and for each instrument you have to load your desired soundfont. It can be the same or another. I load for every drum the same soundfont and select the same drumset but use another drum (bass drum, snare ...) on each instrument so I can pan the drums and use reverb for the snare but not for the bass drum and so on. I recommend FluidR3_GM.sf2. It's freely available and of very high quality. I use it for the drums and several other instruments, sometimes together with Whysynth (as a DSSI module, too).

There are basicalle 2 ways to start a synth: 1.) as a standalone program. You have to set it up to use the correct audio driver. In Rosegarden you have a MIDI instrument as its representation. 2.) as a DSSI synth plugin. It integrates into Rosegarden and its JACK connection AND it won't suffer from ALSA MIDI latencies. In Rosegarden you have a synth plugin instrument. Fortunately some synths are available both as a standalone program and as a DSSI plugin, including fluidsynth and zyn. -- Don't let slow site performance ruin your business.

At least with 3.0 kernel the system locks if you use hrtimer with a sequencer. A realtime kernel is something people used to boost the jack performance with slow CPUs. It's not needed for Rosegarden's functionality. Important für Rosegarden is a kernel with HZ1000 enabled, that's the scheduling frequency. Then Rosegarden's warning disappears. Check if it's enabled.

Hi all, I managed to install lv2rack with the IR convulsion reverb. I found some free impulse responses in the internet, too. I even could feed this reverb via jack from rosegarden's instruments' output and subgroups. And I could feed this signal back to rosegarden's recoding inputs to record it in an audio track.

Yes, they are shiny and want to sell you "creativity". You push a button and a guitarist plays his licks, you push another button and a drummer creates a drum fill automagically. But don't ever think that ... - there are no problems. Windows users fight with latencies and limitations as well, only in another way. - they make your songs better. I know people who play with this shiny stuff but never get any song finished. It's a big difference freaking out about perfect piano- or drumset-samples or an even-still-better reverb and putting this all together to a piece of own music. Yes, I am angry when rosegarden crashes or doesn't allow me to put the whole track 19 milliseconds to the front, or that the LADSPA plugins' gui doesn't reflect the knobs' settings.

That's not for every plugin a big problem. I noticed that the phaser gets finer LFO-changes than those displayed. So if I klick the arrow 2 times then the 2-decimal-value doesn't change but the LFO-frequency changes. Back to the AM pitch shifter: Changing the values with an editor in the .rg-file works.

[Rosegarden-user] Entering values for LADSPA plugins directly
Hi all, some plugins are unusable for me because I cannot enter arbitrary values. The AM pitch shifter plugin has a range from 0.25 to 4. But I cannot enter values directly. It doesn't seem to be a language problem (messing with , and .). Even if I start Rosegarden with LANG=en_us.utf8 rosegarden I cannot set the values directly. Setting them with the mouse (turning the knob) works but is way too coarse. Entering the value in the input field or using up and down arrows always leads to the minimum value of 0.25. Rosegarden version is 11.06.

Hi Lorenzo, Jack runs fine, latencies in Jack are no problem. There are only latency problems when - using plugins with big latencies like graphical EQ - using synths as external programs instead of using as a dssi-plugin I guess there are either loops or general midi-routing problems when recording the same instrument that's played with already existing segments.
