[Lmuse-developer] jack 2 progress?

[allan <son...@ii...>]

Hi Guys 

Jumped into cvs version again on the weekend.. Awesome.. (no manual
edits and it compiles).. 

External sync (without tempo changes) in non-audio mode feels much
better.. Still not responding correctly to a MIDI Start message (not
going back to first bar).. but it will if I turn the position knob on
the external sequencer

I thought I would try use it in Audio mode and foundout something
interesting, MusE was driving Ardour which was synced to Jack... 

I did find that (I'm assuming) because I use jack2 that some of the
transport issues were still around (e.g. won't rewind e.t.c.)... Well
interestingly MusE didn't seem to respond to moving the transport
position in the external sequencer but ARdour did.. so MusE is still
sending the position information via Jack even if it isn't responding
itself. It wasn't reliable enough to us for production, but this was a
way I used to use a much earlier (0.6??) version of MusE, where MusE
would be externally synced and control ardour via jack transport.....
(ardour3 isn't compiling on my system at the moment either)

 I haven't updated jack for a few weeks on this particular install (this
is production)... and my dev install is currently broken.. (ffado
doesn't fire up.. possibly revdep-rebuild required)... 

Anyway,hopefully this information is useful to one of the legends
working around here.. (Tim and Rob, that means you)..Of course I agree
with Mathias, MusE wouldn't be where it is withouth Geoff either.. 
 

Regards

Allan
