Re: All midi instruments are out of tune....?

Ok. Restarted again.

Added Yoshimi and changed it to an organ sound. It was perfectly in tune.

Walked about for 20 minutes.

It's now nearly a semitone out.

Slowly resigning myself to yet another reinstall...where to go?

Hi all, After many years (probably around 15) and updates, and with more things broken in each update than the last, I'm at the point of reinstalling (yet again). Ubuntu Studio appears to be edging towards being unusable, so where do I go? KXStudio appears to be dead as well. I extensively use Ardou...

Re: All midi instruments are out of tune....?

I just rebooted, and went to show my other half the issue. Added a new instance of Calf Organ to Carla - showed her the tuner showing a perfect G. A few seconds later, and with doing nothing at all, it's closer to a G#. I closed it all down, and started again. I added the BBC Samples (VST2) to Carla...

Re: All midi instruments are out of tune....?

Hi, yes. If I create a new session, then immediately, all midi instruments are out of tune. Oddly, if I then add a new instrument to Carla, then wire it up in the Jack patchbay...I'll get no input or output. It's truly bizarre. If I open a previous session, then the instruments that are already set ...

Re: All midi instruments are out of tune....?

Ok. It appears to be Ardour. I can add Calf Organ (or others) to Carla...and the pitch is correct. The moment I open Ardour, the pitch rises by nearly a semitone. Closing Ardour doesn't return it to proper pitch. Everything is set to 48kHz. Baffled...and now deeper into the rabbit hole. As an aside....

Re: All midi instruments are out of tune....?

Ah, I spoke too soon.

Just added Yoshimi as a midi instrument, and it's nearly a semitone out - the sample rates of both Ardour and Alsa (in Yoshimi), are 48kHz...and yet the problem persists.

Re: All midi instruments are out of tune....?

Thank you. I've set the default in Jack to 48kHz and that seems to have fixed it.

Truly appreciated, I thought I was going to go down a deep rabbit hole trying to find the answer.

Re: All midi instruments are out of tune....?

Hi, thank you. I think that's it. I just changed the default in Jack to 48kHz...and then opened up Calf Organ in Carla...and it was at the correct pitch. I then opened Ardour, and added a new midi track (This time the BBC orchestra VST)...and I could actually hear the pitch of the Calf Organ change ...

All midi instruments are out of tune....?

Hi all, Not sure which forum to post this in, so please move if needs be. I recently purchased a new laptop and installed Ubuntu Studio, I then purchased an M-Audio Axiom 61 midi controller, which was recognised straight away. The problem is, that no matter which midi instrument I assign it to, it's...

Re: What's everyone using to sequence drums?

@Michael Willis Thank you very much. I'll give that a go.

I do still prefer the layout and interface of Hydrogen, but something just isn't right with the synching. Everything feels ever so slightly out of time.

Re: What's everyone using to sequence drums?

I'm finding it difficult to actually pinpoint the issue at the moment mind you. Sometimes it's fine, other times it's not. I'd need to be able to give definite steps to recreate it.

Re: What's everyone using to sequence drums?

You could also drive H2 via midi, that way you won't depend on Jack Transport for synchronization. If Ardour packs a midi drum pattern editor that could be an option.. Hi, cheers. I have tried that in the past, and whilst it does have a midi editor, I find it quite awful to use, and much prefer the...

Re: What's everyone using to sequence drums?

Cheers, I'll give that a try. ...but, yeah, if it's not the Jack Master it simply doesn't stay in time - which is no problem, I'll make it the master, but then Ardour keeps "stealing" it bac if you move the playhead when playing back etc... if you route it through Ardour and Ardour tries t...

What's everyone using to sequence drums?

Hi all,

I've been using Hydrogen for years now, but it#s just getting increasingly buggy and playing ball less and less with Jack, so I'm looking for an alternative.

What are you all using. and can you integrate it with Jack (and subsequently Ardour)?

Re: Hyrdogen appears out of sync with Ardour (maybe a Jack issue?)

Hi. Thank you, I'll give that a try. I've read that the time signatures need to be the same as well...I'm unsure if they were or not, but will check that when I get home as well.
Cheers :)
