[Rakarrack-users] Help needed: no distortion sounds with 0.6.1

[Tim U. <ti...@ur...>]

I found this post when doing a Google Search as I have the same 
problem.  It appears as though distortion does not work in 0.6.1. Here 
is what I did, and I apologize for not having any logs yet.

I did all the following on a Dell Inspiron 9300 with a 1.6ghz Pentium M 
processor, 2GB of RAM, and 160 GB hard drive:
Jack version 0.118.0 - There were no errors in Jack or Rakarrack through 
out this process.  I used the Spandex preset to test distortion.

1. I installed Ubuntu 12.04 and installed Rakarrack 0.6.1 
(http://packages.ubuntu.com/pt/precise/rakarrack) - result, distortion 
did not work.
2. I reformatted the same machine and installed Ubuntu 10.04 and 
installed Rakarrack 0.3.0 
(http://packages.ubuntu.com/pt/lucid/rakarrack) - result distortion 
*did* work, but I did not have all the built-in preset banks that I liked
3. I updated my ppa to include version 0.5.8 
(https://launchpad.net/~philip5/+archive/extra/+build/1809286) - result 
distortion *still* worked, but I still did not have all the built-in 
presets (one bank vs three).
4. I updated my ppa again to go up to version 0.6.1 
(https://launchpad.net/~autostatic/+archive/ppa/+build/2042082) - result 
distortion did *not* work, but I now had the 3 banks I was looking for.

Let me know if you need more info.

Thanks,
Tim
