I'm using LMMS 0.1.4 It's the PackMan source RPM for SuSE that I hacked a little bit so that it rebuilds on Fedora Core 4. 1. Crashes I run LMMS as non-root, using ALSA for MIDI and audio. I select which MIDI input to use with the track. The application will crash sometimes if I turn on the MIDI keyboard after that. Other times, it crashes not when turning on the MIDI keyboard, but when pressing a key for the first time. I simply restart LMMS after that and it usually works fine. 2. Freeze I was running LMMS as root, using ALSA for MIDI and JACK for audio. I selected a MIDI input, tested it, it worked fine. Then I let my kid to play with the keyboard. I think he probably also poked at LMMS a little bit. Anyway, after a while LMMS was frozen, 100% non-responsive, sucking up all CPU cycles. In fact, the whole desktop was frozen. After a few minutes LMMS crashed and the desktop became responsive again. 3. Clicks No matter which instrument plugin I'm using, there are fairly loud clicks when driving LMMS from an external MIDI keyboard. I think the clicks occur at each "key up" event (when releasing a key on the keyboard). Other softsynths such as ZynAddSubFX are working fine on this computer and do not exhibit any clicks. I'm willing to do some troubleshooting but you'll have to tell me what to do. In any case, LMMS looks really sweet! It seems that it only needs to iron out some wrinkles, otherwise it's nice. -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/ |
