Hi, Running LMMS 0.1.4-cvs20060329 on a Debian "etch" using the ALSA output plugin. Jack output plugin doesn't work for me :/ libqt3-mt 3.3.5-4 kernel 2.6.15 with realtime external module I have used LMMS for some days (few hours per day), so I tell you my comments : 1) I had a bad surprise on a song, my bass Beat/Bassline have been cleared ! Two explanations are possible : - a bug in LMMS happened while writing the XML file - I removed the bass instrument instead of remove another instrument. If explanation two is right, I think a warning message if deleting an instrument that is used (that have notes set) would be a good idea. "If you remove this instrument you'll lose notes" 2) A built-in look-ahead limiter would be very useful. 3) As told in a previous message, LFO display of instruments isn't updated when changing his wave shape. 4) Projects in the projects menu aren't updated. If saving a new song I have to close LMMS then running it again to see my new song in the projects menu. 5) "Clone track" should create a new track and copy notes from the original track to the new track, doesn't it ? Currently it clones instrument within the track... Great thanks to Scott Belden, I looked at his song to see how he used the 3-oscillator to make custom drums. Using the white noise generator is a very cool way to make snare or hithat sound, but making kicks this way is more complex... I can't wait to see bugs regarding the "Vibed" plugin fixed. This plugin seems awesone ! I'm going to play with LMMS right now, I'll post again if any other idea... Stef |

In fact, I can understand what clone track means, inside the beat-bass-line editor, it copies pattern in a new instrument, well. When doing clone track in the song editor it copies the song track, that's ok. But also add a new instrument ! I can't figure out the logic... I think clone track in the song editor should not add another instrument (plugin) as the cloned track should play the same instruments that those of the original track ! Stef |

That's exactly what I don't understand as "clone" ;-) "Clone" clones the tr= ack=20 including EVERYTHING, also the instrument. This way you can replace this=20 instrument by another instrument and create layered instruments, although=20 it's probably a better idea to connect the according instruments via MIDI t= o=20 the main-instrument holding all the patterns and control them via the=20 main-instrument. toby =2D-=20 Wie man sein Kind nicht nennen sollte:=20 Rosa Schl=FCpfer=20 |

I found a type mismatch in the sine wave generator that turned out to be extremely expensive on my amd64 machine. The fix should be in cvs by now. It doesn't seem to make much of a difference on my x86 box, but I'm hoping this was also related to some of the ppc issues. Unfortunately, my powerbook died last week, so I haven't been able to test it. If somebody with a working ppc could take a look at it and see if lmms still brings the machine to its knees, it would be much appreciated. Also, I took a stab at fixing the endian problem for the alsa driver. That, too, needs to be tested. Danny __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
