Hi Frank, thanks for the update. I think this bug, as opened by yena, is fixed. The latest version plays the first note, including on loop- yay! I came across a new wrinkle with the "missing notes" issue I'm having- I managed to capture the midi output from the plugin- the notes are there, but they are played at a velocity of 1 out of 100- too quiet to be heard- so they are there. Here's a file to illustrate- http://sketchbin.webmadman.net/2017/QtractorQMAdev/miditest.4.qtz So that would seem to...
Grabbed the latest git version to try today- feels more stable somehow, nice! Just wanted to update/clarify where this bug is for me- the first note is playing the first time it's played and exports (nonrealtime) without issue, but it misses the first note when Qtractor loops. So, while the bug isn't totally squashed, it's feeling the squeeze. It still misses notes on export when Trigger is disabled- it feels like there's a pattern to the notes it's missing, but I can't quite make out what it is-...
Got a chance to test the trigger mode- yes it exports out in non-realtime in exactly the same way as it plays back in realtime- yay! That's cool, I can use trigger mode, setting up my chord sequences accordingly.
Yes, the first note works now! Right on! There is a difference between the realtime and non-realtime, not nearly as much as before though. Not sure what exactly is different (dephasing or note dropping), I'm hoping Rui will be able to get the MIDI capture working, it will be easier to see what exactly is going on. Thanks so much for your work on this.
Thank you for explaining- it seems like there's notes being missed rather than it being a phasing issue as I had thought- I couldn't quite tell what was happening, just that there was a difference between the realtime and non-realtime. I suspected QMA had a different approach somehow, which may be causing some glitches, but it's also what draws me to it- it's a bit unpredictable, so it's always surprising me- the trick is to capture the happy accidents while avoiding train wrecks. ;-) I will do some...
Thanks Frank- I just responded over there- definitely some progress- yay! I do my happy dance! :-D I haven't actually had any crashes yet. Will report when I do though.
Fantastic just to see you get some time to have look at this- I'm really greatful. I've been working with QMidiArp pretty extensively for at least 4 years now, glad to know there's someone keeping an eye on it. I recently did a blog post (the start of a series I'm planning in order to share my workflow) with a bunch of my arpeggiator patterns for QMA- http://blog.webmadman.net/2017/10/10/qmidiarp-patterns-by-webmadman/ These are just the tip of the iceburg- been in deep exploration mode, so they're...
Quick follow up, Rui has done some troubleshooting on this, check out the thread here- http://www.rncbc.org/drupal/comment/7587#comment-7587
