[seq24-users] Start/Stop Seq24 with Midi messages

[<le...@fr...>]

Hi,

all is in the question :-)
I know how i can active/disactive sequences with the ~/.seq24rc file,
but how could I start/stop all the sequencer by midi messages ?
Is it possible ?

Thanks for your answers

[seq24-users] Testing Kepler34 - New Qt GUI for seq24

[oli_kester <oli...@zo...>]

Hi Guys

The Kepler34 project aims to provide a modern interface for the seq24 MIDI sequencer, with extra features added in support of creativity.

After a bit of a false start with the project using GTK2, I decided to build my own Qt GUI using the seq24 MIDI internals as a starting point. Thanks to Jeremy for inspiring this idea!

I've now got the project to a decent point, and would appreciate some feedback. Here are a few screenshots - 

http://imgur.com/a/wN2AA

As you can see, the program now uses a single window interface. It's also fully resizable. In the future, it will be possible to pop out each of those tabs to a separate window - they are implemented as separate Qt frame objects, making this easy to achieve.

Some feedback on the use of colour would be great - is the playback state of each sequence clear enough with the current setup?

Please note that quite a few of the buttons do not yet work, and the MIDI event editor has yet to be ported over - but the program works as a basic MIDI sequencer. 

It should be 100% compatible with seq24 MIDI files - but just to be safe, please back up before opening up any of your projects. Upon save, data about the sequence colouring is now tagged to the MIDI files after the usual seq24 values.

You can download a stable(?) package from here - 

https://github.com/oli-kester/kepler34/releases/tag/v0.1

Cheers!

I am also in favor of a single window for seq24, but I think the "Linux
obsession with opening a zillion of windows" is very easy to explain:
The windows-in-windows thing only happened as a work-around for old
Windows (and MacOS?) lack of good workspaces support, so there was no
good (default) way for users to keep related windows together. Linux
(and OSX) never needed that because of (more or less) good built-in
workspaces support.

But, yeah, I very much prefer to have an application like renoise or
emacs or blender that can combine all of its user interface in a single
window, WITHOUT having little windows inside of that window. It is just
distracting to have stuff appearing in little dialog windows or
document windows all over your screen(s).

yes It will be very very handy!

[oli_kester <oli...@zo...>]

Hi Phillippe

Midi pattern triggering is something I haven't really used (but want to) - I'll definitely be dragging the config out of that file and into the Preferences menu. Midi learn would probably be handy too, no?

With your second point, that's interesting... I'll look into it :)

Best, 

Oliver

Hi Louigi

That list is just rough ideas, jotted down whenever something held me back when making music. Some of the ideas are a little hazy for me too! I plan to go through and break each down in detail in a few weeks. In the meantime though, feel free to ask me any questions about specific features and I'll have a go at explaining what I mean.

The midi ports thing is a no brainier for me - one of the first things I plan to sort! I agree with you on the single window debate, but don't want to change the program too much that people don't stick with it :)

Thanks, 

Oliver

[oli_kester <oli...@zo...>]

Thanks Pelle - these are all great feature ideas, with nice detail. Renoise is really great, definitely worth learning IMO.

The one window thing is up for debate (I personally prefer one window apps like you), but keyboard shortcuts are an easy thing to implement and I don't know why I didn't think of the idea myself!

Thanks, 

Oliver

Cheers Luke

I start working on it in the new year, so any thoughts about features would be super useful over the next month or so.

Testing will be much appreciated!

Re: [seq24-users] A Project To Upgrade seq24

[Dubphil <du...@fr...>]

Hi Oliver,

I'm very happy to ear that seq24 will be improved, I will be of course 
glad to test the features.
One of the feature that would be of great interest to me would be to 
improve the mapping of midi key for events like trigger/mute/unmute/solo 
patterns, at the moment, the way to configurate this in the config file 
gives headaches...
Another thing is that when you open the editing window of a pattern, the 
midi events to trigger/mute/unmute/solo are deactivated.

Very thanks

Philippe

Excellent! I completely forgot about even being on the seq24 mailing
list and have not used the application itself in ages.

I am trying to commit to learn Renoise better, but I really like the
simplicity of seq24 and there are only a few things that would make
me use it now and then (or even more than that):

- Combine everything into one window, toggling between song/sequence
  instead of having two different windows. I don't mean
  small-windows-in-on-window GUI, but just a small button to toggle
  or you could press TAB or something to go back and forth to
  song-view and then some hotkey+pattern-hotkey to navigate between
  patterns.

- Which brings me to my other wish: Keyboard hotkeys. It would be
  awesome to be able to navigate and edit everything without the mouse,
  especially when on a (small) laptop.

- Fullscreen would be nice, especially once the two above wishes have
  come true. Not a huge deal because you can get close by configuring
  your window manager a bit, but nice to have a hotkey.

Anyway good luck with this project. Let us know when there is something
we can test for you.

Hi Oliver,


This is fantastic. It has been a while since I used seq24 due to family
study and work commitments. But having just Finished my Adv Dip and gotten
full time work, I am looking forward to getting back into it.

I would be happy to do some testing.
I primarily use seq 24 under Linux (KX Studio)
I think Jeremy has raised a good point re the routing. I recall always
having to spend a long time trying to get it to route to supercollider.
I'll try the work around you suggested and try and give you some more
feedback and thoughts over the next month.

Cheers,

Luke Digance

[Tommy B. <tom...@gm...>]

Hi Oli,

Very nice to see development happening. I actually found out about the
sequencer64 <https://github.com/ahlstromcj/sequencer64> project yesterday,
so.. long live seq24 or something. :)

Cheers

Re: [seq24-users] A Project To Upgrade seq24

[oli_kester <oli...@zo...>]

Hi Jeremy

Thanks for the support.

Regarding your problem (if I understand it correctly), there is already a fix for this - although it took me ages to find it! 

...In fact, one of my tasks in that list is to move this out of a config file, and into the options dialog.

- Open the ".seq24rc" file in your home folder, and go to the [manual-alsa-ports] section (line 184)
- Swap the "0" under that entry for a "1", save and close it 
- start up seq24.

Now seq24 should have MIDI connections! Sixteen outputs, found under the "ALSA" tab in QJackQtl. These can be ported to Jack MIDI via the a2jmidid tool :)

Hope this helps.

Best, 

Oliver

Re: [seq24-users] A Project To Upgrade seq24

[Jeremy D. <jer...@gm...>]

Oliver,

Hey,  I use Seq24 on Linux and I would like to mention there is one thing
that would make a huge difference. Seq24 does not indentify itself very
well when when trying to route inputs and outputs via Patchage or other
similar GUIs like Catia. I know it can be done because other programs like
Ardour get it right. Everytime I use Seq24 I have tobplay around for a
while guessing how to connect plugins etc..

To see what I mean, on a Linux OS you could open Patchage, Ardour, Seq24,
and a synth such as amSynth. Ardour obviously identifies itself and each
line in or out is well identified. However, the name "Seq24" is nowhere to
be found. I think it says "throughput-0" or something not obvious or
intuitive.

Good luck with your project!

Jeremy Davis

[seq24-users] A Project To Upgrade seq24

[oli_kester <oli...@zo...>]

Hi Seq24 users, 
 
For my final year university project, I am taking on an overhaul of seq24. Below is an excerpt from my project proposal - the list of features I would like to implement - 
 
[quote] 
 
<< Basic (simple changes that should be quick to address) >> 
- Swap default on midi autoconnect to second value (add to config file) 
- Song / loop mode switch in main UI 
- Recent files list 
- Move config file to .config folder in /home 
- Label keys correctly on loops past bank 1 
 
<< Medium (bug fixes, smaller new features) >> 
- Don't take scene change inputs when renaming loops

I wanted to follow hyperlinks from this page:

And I noticed they point to a unrelated page.

I quess this is a security issue and that the Wiki needs some safety lock.

Yep, sorry for the maladresse Guido

Just in case someone better knowing seq24 internals than me can
use this,
jack transport not working with newer jack1 seems to be caused 
by jack1 no longer jumping into JackTransportStarting to address
"slow clients". I found two locations in seq24 perform.cpp where 
a Starting->Rolling sequence is required to start off. So maybe
it is sufficient to add as OR condition that Stopped->Rolling works
as well, but I'm much less than confident, since there are 
quite precise timing adjustments involved to handle this. 

But maybe someone on the list may take this as a hint....

Best regards
Frank

Hi, just compiled bzr 131 and I see no difference with version 0.9.2,
i.e. with JACK Transport enabled hitting play won't do anything, and
instead it works as expected when JACK Tranposrt is disabled.

I'm on Archlinux with jack-0.121.3

best wishes,

I don't have newer jack1 series at hand either so I cannot tell, but while you're on it,
you might consider the attached diff fixing the broken jack session commandline.

Hi all,
I just got a patch from Lieven Moors which should fix the broken
transport on newer jack systems. Can someone please check the current bzr
version if this well known bug has disapeared (sorry I have no newer JACK
version at hand right now)?

Re: [seq24-users] Mute Groups on Windows?

[Paul F. <pau...@ho...>]

OK

I’ve found this latest windows version (www.subatomicglue.com/seq24 - 0.9.0 beta4 – thanks Kevin!) and managed to get it running (after installing the libraries etc) – and I think I’ve got the mute groups working OK from the laptop.

Pressing Left CTRL with the relevant trigger key (1,2 etc) gives the behaviour I’m looking for.
I’m not sure if it’s possible to trigger this behaviour from midi?

This message chain https://answers.launchpad.net/seq24/+question/63587 implies it might be (but it’s not very clear)
It doesn’t look like this new version has changed the .seq24rc file – and I assumed this would be extended to include new options for midi control?

Does anyone know if it’s possible to emulate the Left CTRL behaviour via midi input? If so, do you have any information on how to do it (maybe an example .seq24rc file)?

Thanks again

Paul

Subject: Mute Groups on Windows?

Hi

I’ve just started playing with Seq24, and it could be ideal for my needs....
I’ve seen a few web references to ‘Mute Groups’ for Seq24 – but I’m not sure how (or if) I can use these?
There are some web postings with code on them, but I assume that is for the Linux versions...
Is there any way I can get Mute groups working on the Windows version?

For my use, I’m looking to trigger the various loops from Midi notes (which I think I can do quite easily), and have the midi tempo controlled from an outside Midi signal (which again shouldn’t be a problem).
However, I do need the loops to only play one at a time, i.e. when I trigger a new loop the old one stops.
I’m guessing this is where I need the Mute groups functionality? (or is there another way I can achieve this?)

Thanks in advance....

Paul
