[seq24-users] Re: seq24 0.5.1

[Peter N. <pn...@ya...>]

Hi,

I also noticed there's a slight lag that definitely
happens at the end or beginning of each 4-beat
measure.  Compared it to rosegarden which also doesn't
seem to have super-tight timing, but in rosegarden
there wasn't a noticeable pattern to it like there is
in seq24.  this was using the 'demudi' music
distribution which comes with low-latency kernel and
seq-24 0.5.0.  tried to compile the newer version but
it wanted a newer version of libasound which I
couldn't manage to get.  Also on that system, seq-24
would exit with a Floating Point exception/error
trying to load any MIDI file, including ones saved out
of seq-24.  I'll try the new version with Red Hat when
I get a chance.  

I like the interface a lot.  I'd love to be able to
group multiple sequences together and activate them
all together with 1 button.  Maybe there could be a
special kind of sequence that could have seq-24 itself
as its MIDI target (for starting/stopping other
sequences), I suppose you'd have to check for feedback
loops but then you could do all kinds of crazy things
without changing too much.  Also it would be nice if
the Performance editor could record what you do on the
sequence screen (or maybe it can do these things
already and I just couldn't figure that out).  nice
