Re: [seq24-users] GREAT, but....

[Rob B. <rc...@fi...>]

I'll put in the key start / stop keyboard commands in.  It's just
something that was overlooked.

As far as muting and unmuting more than 2 tracks, that is a hardware
problem with computer keyboards.  You will notice that if you are using
any software (such as a text editor) and you mash down 4-5 keys, they
will not appear.

Adding Latency would be a good idea.  I'll put that on my TODO list.

Re: [seq24-users] sync to external midi clock

[Rob B. <rc...@fi...>]

There is currently no way for seq24 to sync up via external midi clock.=20
I'm not ceratin if other jack transport apps can sync to midi clock
which seq24 could then slave too.  I don't think there are.  There is
so much jitter in midi clock.  And few jack transport apps handle tempo
change well.  It's a fairly hard problem if you want really good timing.

[seq24-users] GREAT, but....

[Hendrik W. <hwo...@pa...>]

Hi,


I just replaced my roland mc-50 with seq24. What a GREAT app!

2 minor problems:
It's great to control the patterns with the cumputer keyboard for live
performance, but do I really have to start seq24 with my mouse. Enter
should start the player, space for pause and 2 times space to restart
all loops.

 It looks like seq24 has problems to (des)active more than 2 tracks
simultanously with the computer keyboard. Anyone has the same
experience?


P.S. It would be nice to give some latency to certain patterns. This
should be usefull to synchronize external devices with
jack-audio-connection-kit applications (and other devices that have a
little latency).

Greetings Hendrik

[seq24-users] sync to external midi clock

[Christoph H. <he...@in...>]

Hi!

For our live sets I would need to sync seq24 to an external midi clock.
Is that possible with seq24? If I use jack transport, there is still
the problem how to sync jack to an external midi clock. 

Thanks!

[seq24-users] RE: seq24-users digest, Vol 1 #26 - 1 msg

[Todd W. <Tod...@ec...>]

I had similar issues and resolved them by installing the dependencies from
source. Takes ages but it works...

In my case, the issue was caused by the pkgconfig files being installed to
/usr/local/* instead of /usr/*

I should add that although being very IT proficient (10 years
professionally) I am a total *nix newbie, so this could be bad advice... But
it did work for me (on FC3)

Good luck
Todd

Subject: [seq24-users] Problems configuring version 0.6.1

Hello list,

I've got a SuSE 9.2 box (even comes with seq24 0.5.2 ready to go...) that
seems to have all the dependencies  seq24 version 0.6.1 needs: there's the
development libraries for gtkmm2.2.8, libsigc++1.2.5, pango-1.4.1

BUT when I run ./configure it stops at:
checking for gtkmm-2.0 >= 2.0.0... Package gdk-2.0 was not found in the
pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gdk-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable Package 'gdk-2.0', required by
'GDKmm', not found

looking in /opt/gnome/lib/pkgconfig there is no gdk-2.0.pc there's the
following:  
atkmm-1.0.pc  glib-2.0.pc    gmodule-2.0.pc       gnome-mime-data-2.0.pc  
gthread.pc    pangoft2.pc     pangoxft.pc
gdkmm-2.0.pc  glibmm-2.0.pc  gmodule.pc           gobject-2.0.pc          
gtkmm-2.0.pc  pangomm-1.0.pc  pangox.pc
gdk.pc        glib.pc        gnome-icon-theme.pc  gthread-2.0.pc          
gtk+.pc       pango.pc        sigc++-1.2.pc


Googling gdk-2.0 doesn't lead me to any downloadable packages gdk2.0 so it
is 
probably part of something else (that I already have?)

Any suggestions?

Thanks for your time,
Paul

Hi list,

unfortunately seq24 frequently crashes during jam sessions, therefore
makes live a bit hard.
I have the newest version installed so I wonder whether someone has
the same problem.
The thing I do is simply record midi-in from one device and send clock
from seq24
to another. what could be the problem? It crashes with a segementation
fault when I run it in a shell.
someone similar experiences?

thnks.

well, a tool to strech the selected notes (both time and length) would
be nice.

when i go to record something from midi keyboard i dont feel well with
metronome, so it's easier for me stretch the recorded sequence to fit
the song tempo... something like when you take the resizer tool in gimp
to resize an image =))

sorry for my bad english :|

in addition make the mouse wheel work is a great improvement to
usability

Re: [seq24-users] record button

I had a little trouble getting used to this at first, too, but it 
actually makes sense after you figure it out: the three little buttons 
in the bottom-right of the editor window control, from left to right, 
whether data dumps from the pattern *to* the midi bus (the pattern 
"plays"), whether incoming midi is passed *through* the editor, so that 
you can hear notes as you play them, and whether incoming midi is added 
to the pattern being edited (the elusive Record button!)... the fact 
that you can toggle these individually is nice, but maybe not 
immediately intuitive for people accustomed to "tape recorder" style 
transport controls - just remember, the little rectangle in on the 
buttons represents the pattern editor, and the midi can flow out of, 
through (or more correctly "past"), or into it, one button for each.

Is that a muddled enough explanation? :)

> I don't see seq24 in the list of readable or writable clients in
> qjackctl.  Is that the problem?

That's normal - seq 24 listens to the midi bus as a whole, from what i 
can tell, and it likes to select the device that it sends to in it's 
own editor window (top right corner).

Hope that helps.

P.S. The information above is based on version 0.6.0-rc5, since that's 
the last version I've had a chance to try out; Hopefully none of what I 
mentioned has changed in the last version, which I hope to have time to 
play with soon.

[seq24-users] seq24-0.6.1

[<kri...@gm...>]

I would really like to be able to choose time-signature in the
performance editor, i really am a sucker for odd time signatures and it
would be of great help, since for example 7/8 is already supported in
the main program it would be very nice.

the ideal solution would be to be able to change time signature
mid-song, if i want 3 parts 4/4 and then one 5/4.

maybe this is overkill and not in line with seq24s idea, but hey, you asked=
 ;)

[seq24-users] record button

[Chris R. <cr...@gm...>]

Here comes one of those questions I usually ignore when I see them on lists:

Where's the record button?

I'm trying to record MIDI events from vkeyboard, and have them play
back on amSynth.  I can open the sequence editor and write a note into
the grid with the little pencil, but how do I record from vkeybd?

I don't see seq24 in the list of readable or writable clients in
qjackctl.  Is that the problem?  Even if I did, I still can't find the
record button...

Thanks,
chris

Re: [seq24-users] Loops turns themselves off....

[rob b. <rc...@fi...>]

Because of the way jack transport is implemented, you need to specify if
you want seq24 running in live mode, or performance mode.  I suspect your
wanting to use it in live mode, and it defaults to performance mode.  Add
--jack_start_mode 0.

[seq24-users] documentation on 'draw' mode

[Stephan B. <str...@ly...>]

I am new to seq24. I got it to work with fluidsynth and alsa 
virtual-midi. However it's taken me three days to figure out that to add 
notes or events in 'draw' mode you have to simultaneously (1) hold down 
the right-mouse button and (2) click with the left-mouse button on the 
pianoroll or the event strip.

Could you please update that in the documentation. By the way, would you 
be interested by the documentation being re-formatted in HTML with 
screenshots?

Once again I think seq24 is a smashing tool. I am now going to test it 
with PureData.
Yours, Stephan

[seq24-users] Loops turns themselves off....

[krsrtn <k.g...@gm...>]

hello,

I could not find anything similar to my problem on the list, so I
think its ok to ask you now about a particularly annoying behaviour of
seq24 when in --jack_transport mode.
the problem is (and I did not have that before!) that the boxes (the
loops) can't be turned on anymore (resp. they are immediately turned
off) when jack transprort is running.

I tried to edit the rc-file to filter out the information, but did not
succeed, although this clearly could be traced back to my insufficient
understanding of the sequencer....
:(
however, I hope you have a tipp, or a solution, that would be very
much appreciated!

thanks,

[seq24-users] Yet another : Seq24-0.6.0-rc5

[rob b. <rc...@fi...>]

hey everyone.

There is yet another release.

This time I changed some font drawing code to really speed things up.
I finished the remote midi control, so you can now change bpm, screen
sets, and use all the ctrl,alt,shift mod keys via midi.
I removed the midi control stuff from the options dialog, you now have to
edit your .seq24rc file to change your settings.  The dialog drawing was
way too slow so I just removed it.

how are these releases working for everyone ?

cheers!

[seq24-users] Seq24-0.6.0-rc4

[rob b. <rc...@fi...>]

hey everyone.

I revamped the jack transport stuff a little bit more.
It is now turned off by default.
It should also be a bit more solid.

here are the flags you need to be concered with when you run seq24.

 --jack_transport   : seq24 will sync to jack transport
 --jack_master      : seq24 will try to be jack master
 --jack_master_cond : jack master will fail if there is already a master
 --jack_start_mode <x> : when seq24 is synced to jack, the following play
                          modes are available (0 = live mode)             
                                      (1 =
performance mode) (default)

these will all be added to the options menu shortly, but for now just use
the flags.

cheers!

Re: [seq24-users] seq24 and jack transport master

[rob b. <rc...@fi...>]

Currently the way it is set up, you can't do tempo changes when you are
jack sync mode/transport master, it can however sync to ardours tempo
changes.  It's in the queue to be fixed, when I figure out how. :)  It's
much better to let someone else be master if your going to be recording. 
Also, it will always run in the performance mode (using the on/off boxes
from the perfomance editor) when synced to jack.

if you don't want jack transport, run with --without_jack flag.  I think I
might change that as well.  It's seems if its enabled by default its
causing problems.

thanks
rob
