Hi here is my list of things i would really like to see fixed for the
next stable release.....

(1) Instrument ENV/LFO Filters.
    add the extra filters from master branch.
    
(2) Fix note detune in song editor.
    bug: 3462555 http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3462555&group_id=105168&atid=640434

(3) Fix Freeze track broken by certain instruments.
    bug: 3109262 
    http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3109262&group_id=105168&atid=640434
    
(4) Fix Tooltips of Sample track.
    the tooltips are not remembered whenever a song has been reopened
    (although non critical it is good for quick reference to loaded samples)

thanks Mikobuntu ;)

Everything is now fixed in current stable-0.4 branch and will be fixed
in 0.4.13 release :-) Thanks for pointing out these issues!

Hi!

I was surprised to discover that Wikipedia does not already have a German
article on LMMS.
After all, Germany has the second-largest download of the User Manual
(despite the fact that it is in English!).

Some comments-

1. It would be good to list the features of the program first.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LMMS#Features

2. Remove the QT4-related sentence- It is a trivial detail.

If you must include it, then introduce a "History" section and put this
there (along with other historical trivia).

3. Conventionally, Wikipedia does not explain the GUI (various windows) of
any software program.

(If you do want to write on this subject, you will have to start a
wikibook. http://de.wikibooks.org/wiki/Hauptseite)

4. In the "Siehe auch" section, you can list other software
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LMMS#See_also

To find more equivalent applications:
http://alternativeto.net/software/lmms---linux-multimedia-studio/

(Tip: Check out ALL the applications listed on that page- You could
discover some more applications that are not listed on the LMMS page. For
example, if you click on FL Studio" link, you will see alternative
applications for FL Studio, many of which are equivalent to LMMS, but some
of them may not NOT listed on the LMMS page.)

5. BTW if you decide to retain the UI section, then correct the following:
  (Note: I used Google translation. So the comments below may not be
accurate.)

a. The heading "Ausstattung" translates to "Equipment" in English. It
should be "User interface".
b. Add "editor" After "piano roll" and "automation".
c. There is no top-level window called "Instrumentspur" (see the User
Manual for details)
d. Add "Note Editor" window

6. You can mention the User Manual (pdf file) as source/reference:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lmms/files/UserManual/UserManual_0.4.12.1_2011-08-30.pdf/download

7. Add that the user can record his own samples and use it as melody
instrument or percussion instrument.

8. The wiki page mentions that-
"LMMS includes a large library of prebuilt synth sounds and samples in Ogg
Vorbis format<http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?hl=en&ie=UTF8&prev=_t&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=auto&tl=en&twu=1&u=http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogg&usg=ALkJrhhlQkibvUgAeI2w2RAVjTGhppx2UQ>
"
This draws unnecessary attention to the ogg vorbis format. Actually LMMS
can use multiple formats flexibly.
Especially when it comes to user-recorded samples, users may have a concern
whether they can use mp3s.
Therefore, please mention what filetypes LMMS can handle.

By the same token, also mention the export file types.

Hope that helps.

Regards,
Narayan

Kalle,

I downloaded and had a listen.  Thank you for sharing.

Done, and attached. (Actually, you don't need to go into the settings
- you just have to Save As with extension .mmp .)

Now where do I look regarding the symptoms I describe?

Looks like you accidently changed time signature to 4/1 (tool bar at
the top). Switching it back to 4/4, saving the file and re-opening it
fixes the issue for me. If not, mail me again and I send you the fixed
file ;-)

:-D That was it!

Sorry to bug you with a simple error like this :-)

(My greatest wanted feature for LMMS: undo ...)

Now, a project file of that sort would be useful in LMMS! It would
make music with nonstandard samples easier to share.


- d.

True. That project file should contain used samples that doesn't exsist in
LMMS files. if program downloads used samples in same file that got
material in one project song, when ample is added in song.

Jordan,

I believe LMMS stores the absolute path to each sample, which breaks them
if it's not in the exact same location on each computer.

Hopefully somone can confirm this.

You may need to click each button and re-import the samples.  This is very
cumbersome for larger projects.

Another alternative is to copy the samples you use to the same directory
that LMMS uses, so that it would be consistent across computers. (i.e.
C:\Program Files\LMMS\....\etc)

This appears to be the case. (I've transplanted my lmms install on
Linux before.)

I expect this would also make it OS-specific, i.e. if you're not using
LMMS's packaged samples them you'd have to fix paths if you moved an
.mmpz from Windows to Linux.


- d.

Thanks for the confirm David.

Is there a place to request a feature to add an option to fix this (like a wizard that can fix all project paths?)

I'm fairly certain FLStudio had this same limitation, so this would be a leg up... :)

LMMS already has "LMMS WORKING DIRECTORY" in settings - we'd want LMMS
to save sample paths as relative to that directory. Then just
transplanting your "samples" folder would do the right thing.

That's what LMMS already does. It always tries to make sample paths
etc. relative to working directory or the global sample directory of
the program. So if your settings are correct, things should always be
saved in a relative manner.

So just transplanting the samples folder should DTRT for Jordan, then?

Does it correct paths cross-platform? (I haven't checked.)

Forgot to CC the list.  See quoted email below.
