RE: Windows 7 on MBR

Re: Windows 7 on MBR
I put up a new youtube video showing me messing around with jack.. This is the process of getting this to work: 1. run QT Jack Control (icon looks like a phono plug). 2. start hack from the Jack Control. 3. Go into a terminal window and type fluidsynth -o synth.polyphony=1024 \ -R0 -C0 -a jack -j -m alsa_seq /usr/share/sounds/sf2/FluidR3_GM.sf2 This will start fluidsynth the Wavetable Synth emulator. 4. Start Rosegarden. 5. Start Patchage. 6. Disconnect all the lines from rosegarden with a right-click disconnect all 7. Green = Midi, Blue = audio. Left sides of boxes are inputs, right sides are outputs. System Capture are your mics, System Playback is your speakers. Connect General Midi on rosegarden to Green Input for Fluidsynth. 8. Connect Fluid Synth's Audio outputs (a separate box in blue) to the Playback. 9. Connect your MIDI output to the input of the Rosegarden's record in. 10. Load a midi file (with import).. And Select one of the instruments, and twiddle keys on your keyboard (midi channel 1). You should be hearing that instrument playing. If not, you can try connecting your midi to the fluidsynth input directly.. Note, you can connect multiple audio lines to one input, same with midi, jack will mix the inputs, so you can use this to layer stuff.. 11. Play the midi file, make sure all the instruments are set to general midi device. And rosegarden's general midi (green) is connected to fluid synth (green), And Fluidsynth (blue) is connected system playback (blue). 12. I added JackRack, loaded a reverb (under simulator) and chorus (under timing), and an amplifier.. Arranged it so the amplifier was on top, chorus next, and reverb after that. 13. Reconnect fluidsynth (blue) to jackrack in (blue), connect jackrack out to system playback (blue). When there are two blue ports named the same thing, that is stereo channels, so if you want you can treat them as separate mono outputs. IF YOU WANT TO SAVE THE CONFIGURATION 1. If you so want to freeze this configuration, it's a bit of a task, I wish patchage could do this, but you have to do it in the patch bay of the jack control. Create inputs and outputs for each chanel of midi and audio you need.. Drag and drop the connections from one to the other, where you have things connected in patchage. 2. Screen capture everything in patchage, so you remember what connects to what (printscreen key). Turn off activate in the patchbay and disconnect all the wires in patchage. 3. Now, turn on activate in patchbay, look at patchage, all the components in your screen captures that are connected should be connected in patchage. If any inputs or outputs are missing, this means there was likely an Xrun, and some of the devices dropped. You may have to restart Jack and start up all the devices again, but save your patch configuration in patchbay. 4. If you should ever lose devices, you can restart and load up the patch configuration, activate, and then turn off activate so you can make any changes to the patch configuration in patchage. 5. You'll have to save out configurations on each device, so as to preserve their configurations. So you can save out jackrack setups, you can save Rosegarden projects. If you use ardour to record, you can save it's projects. If you use ZynAddSubFx you can save it's patches, and configuration (good luck getting them to load without ZynAddSubFx dumping). The alternative to all of this is to use LMMS, which integrates some of these features together into on package. But the Jack stuff will permit you some added creativity. It will be heaven once it has stabilized (*praying*).

Re: Windows 7 on MBR
Whoops the youtube link I forgot.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaMB-W6rFw0 I just put it up last night.. BTW, gtk-recordmydesktop permits one to use jack to connect to any audio outputs to be included in a screencast, that's what I'm doing here. This is on my ultra slow Pentium-4 2Ghz Laptop.. Fluidsynth is not as much of a CPU hog as ZynAddSubFx, but it's effective. Here is a video I made with the ZynAddSubFx soft synth and audio input (from a Yamaha YPT-300 consumer keyboard) and ran them through JackRack and into Ardour. Ardour will permit you to layer audio over audio, so you can work in pieces, I'm still stuck on how to get Rosegarden to play and have Ardour set to record, and sync the transaction. Anyone? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r56XPeJC5vU Watch to the end, I show the actual devices I'm using..
