Last update is crashing midi flow : random notes. Either with standalones, LV2, vst, carla, ....

hm? can you be more specific please? what do you mean "midi flow"?
why standalone? standalones are not loadable plugins.
I have no idea what ... heh ?

Sorry for not being accurate. Let's say I load Cadence, then Claudia and I try to play with Yoshimi, or any other soft synth.
When I send a midi note, all synths are responding randomly, sometimes not at all.
It looks like something is slowing or altering the reception of midi by the synths.

But I'll make more test to give you more details. I know you're not a magician, just a wizard...

OK problem solved - Ladish and gladish were updated via synaptic today. Maybe it's that maybe not.

Woow is fantastic = D

Thanks for the solution

his is a great job for the community

success =)

Still can't get Simple Sampler (mono or stereo) to show GUI
Also, can't get Example Sampler to show GUI
Finally, the samplv1 DOES show GUI but can't get any sound. I tried samplv1 in qtractor and it worked with sound; but run it in Carla, GUI shows, MIDI indicates signal using the Carla keyboard, sample is loaded, sound connected in Catia, but no sound heard…

Hi,thanks for the amazing job.
I've been using Cadence since 12.04, and now I'm updated till the last commit (beta1+git20121006-0)

I did every update from the old configuration so maybe there is something still messy around

Every time I start cadence jack is stopped, even with the "Auto start at log in", same happen to the bridges.
i tried

Code: Select all

cadence-session-start -s

with this output

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):

I start Jack, then I try to load a (any) VST with Carla (which works with Festige), I receive:
with Jack set to multiple clients in carla, and using a VST listed as "Bridged (Win32)"

Code: Select all

Bridge engine failed to start, error was:
Failed to create new JACK client

I can't find a way to start win VST in carla.
Thanks a lot

There is something wrong with a studio handling.
I've created 2 studios: first - for standard situations like internet and second - for audio work
They have different jack parameters, i've edited in xml studio configs.
First has pulseaudio bridged, soft mode, realtime-false and 2048 buffer size:

Then I have maked first as defalt studio on cadence start and changed default jack config to match the first configuration. After reboot with cadence-session-start -s in autostart my studio starts with correct parameters, but there are 3 instances of pulseaudio and 2 instances of cadence-pulse2jack in memory. At the same time pulseaudio does not work. When I reboot with cadence-pulse2jack in autostart, there is a new studio, which works with default parameters. This can be useful, but after loading of my "audio" studio all default jack parameters are overwritten as in "audio" studio and after next reboot I have a new studio started with new parameters ("audio" studio).

Second issue is: when "audio" studio is started in claudia after "internet" studio, there is still one instance of pulseaudio in memory, I need do kill it. The same behavior shows ajmidid bus, wenn I start "internet" studio after "audio" studio. Even though they are in memory, both are not working.

So, we need a way to make it possible to have different studios with or without pulseaudio or ajmidid bus at reboot or at normal change in claudia.

Still not working. No GUI for Simple…Sampler, GUI but no sound for samplv1.

From trying the GUI:

Code: Select all

CarlaPlugin::showOscGui()
CarlaPlugin::showOscGui() - Timeout while waiting for UI to respond
trivial_sampler_qt_gui starting...
CarlaPlugin::updateOscData(0x9d2c448, "osc.udp://Wolf-Satellite-L655D:10023/Carla/0")
CarlaPlugin::updateOscData() - source: host "127.0.0.1", port "10023"
CarlaPlugin::updateOscData() - target: host "Wolf-Satellite-L655D", port "10023", path "/Carla/0"
CarlaPlugin::updateOscData() - done

Changing settings in the samplv1 GUI gave this:
QGradient::setColorAt: Color position must be specified in the range 0 to 1
many times over

Otherwise, samplv1 seems like it should work, but no sound is put out. There's no meter indication of sound in Carla, although it lights up to show the MIDI input.

[quote=Recky]There is something wrong with a studio handling.
I've created 2 studios: first - for standard situations like internet and second - for audio work[/quote]
Recky, this setup is working well for music listening with bridging.

It now starts on login, making all the saved connections, and the only thing I have to think of is adjusting the eq for my declining hearing (which is the reason that I'm no longer using a simple cadence/jack setup).

Aqualung is a jack-aware audio player anyway; the Pulse bridge is handling internet sound. For now, I have no need of recording, and will probably define a different studio when I do --- keep things simple!

Some of the problems I had as a newcomer to Claudia were dealt with in this thread. Particularly the Pulse bridge.

I received some updates for Carla (carla 1:0.5.0~beta1+git20121124-0~precise2) and now IR LV2 don't show GUI anymore :

Code: Select all

Failed to find an appropriate LV2 UI for this plugin

And Triceratops won't work anymore :

Anyone encountering the same issues ?

What is the new Switch Master button. Nothing happened when I clicked on it ---except it went blue!

That's quite a surprise

But, as mentioned, so far all I get is a highlit button.
