fluidsynth dssi problems

14 August, 2010 - 13:09 — nareto

Hello, I'm very new to qtractor. I have a project with many midi tracks, many of which are going out to Hydrogen and two have each their fluidsynth-dssi plugin.

In the track properties of each of these two tracks I select bank and a different program - one track has a bass sound and the other a rhodes. They play fine.

However, after I save, quit and reopen the project, both tracks are set to bass or rhodes, depending which was the last I changed.

This is very strange, it's like if there were only one istance of the plugin, but there are clearly two - I can see them in the mixer, one for each track.

Am I missing something or is it a bug?

I have a separate midi bus for Hydrogen which is set as output for all midi tracks except these two, who have the "Master" midi bus as output.

Instrument mapping is historically aggregated by MIDI channel and output bus, so that you cannot have different instrument patch settings addressed via bank+program numbers) for the same channel and bus. Maybe it's your trouble. Try using a distinct MIDI channels for each of those tracks/fluidsynth-dssi instances.

Tell me more.

Cheers

thanks, assigning a different channel for each track solves the problem. But I'm confused: the two plugins were assigned each to its own track, how is it they can incluence each other? I think it's not clear to me how midi routing works in qtractor, if one uses dssi plugins on midi tracks

nothing to do with MIDI routing but to way Qtractor does MIDI track instrument patch mapping (bank+program to respective patch/preset names).

Hi; I installed fluidsynth dssi hoping to load SF2 files inside a qtractor track instead of load qsynth and the hassle of all the connections. SF2 loads OK but when a note is played it sound intermitent, not continuous as it should be. Any idea about how to correct this?
Thanks in advance

By the way, I have qtractor 0.5.4.
I would like to try 0.5.6, it would be great if you could name the packages needed. Its been hard for me to find the ladspa package (I have ladspa-sdk, is this it?)
I made a first attemtp and got this on config.log
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by Qtractor configure 0.5.6, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.69. Invocation command line was

$ ./configure

you certainly need g++ (gnu c++ compiler) to compile qtractor.

cheers

Thanks for your reply. the configure stage was overcome, now there's some issues with the make stage.
I got the following (which I think is the cause of the problem; the additional points are mine, the command is too long), (I have installed the lilv-utils package (synaptic doesn't show another lilv package when searched):

Thanks again.

I have installed the lilv-utils package (synaptic doesn't show another lilv package when searched
depending on your distro you must install the -devel sort of packages eg. liblilv-dev. most probably lilv-utils is useless for compiling qtractor (or any other source build)

31 October, 2012 - 00:59 — joaquinotero

First of all, many thanks for your replies.

I already had installed libliv dev package before I got the previous messages. I guess that I should install lilv package because that is what message mentions.

I ran a google search for a lilv devel package and it leaded me to this page:

http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=lilv-devel

It seems this is a fedora packages site, There is no information about an ubuntu package or a tarball file (neither at synaptic).

Could you tell me please where I can find the proper lilv dev package (if according to your criteria, this is what is missing for success at make stage)

I was thinking that configure stage was for verifying that all dependencies are fulfilled; there was not any message about a missing package at configure stage.

Again, Thanks for your help.

Joaquin.

31 October, 2012 - 01:10 — joaquinotero

lilv just found, thank you.
But it seems that build liv depends on libserd-0-0>= 0.14. I have instaled version 0.5 and the required version is available only to Ubuntu 12.10 (the lastest one!!). Im still on Ubuntu 10.04.

31 October, 2012 - 01:59 — joaquinotero

I found all the dependencies, sorry for the hassle, it is the first time I do compile/build tasks.

Thanks.

Hi Rui, Finally Ive builded Qtractor, just some issues here. I got this "no" at configure stage:

checking for main in -lXext... no
...
checking for VST headers... no
...
LV2 Plug-in support (libslv2) (DEPRECATED) . . . .: no
...
X11 Unique/Single instance . . . . . . . . . . . .: no
...
...
Debugger stack-trace (gdb) . . . . . . . . . . . .: no

Could I have troubles in the future because these "no"?.

Thanks for your help.

i guess the answer is no :)

fyi. the official configure summary report for standard default release build (no debug), should be the following:

18 November, 2012 - 19:47 — joaquinotero

Hi Rui, the vst thing is already fixed. Now, Ive been testing this version of qtractor since the last time I wrote to you, and everything is fine except yesterday when I tried to insert IR LV2 plugin in an audio track.
I got a message stating that libgtk-x11.so is not found.
Any idea where could I get that file?. Could that be inside libgtk dev package?.

18 November, 2012 - 21:44 — rncbc
rncbc's picture

i can't really tell what the trouble is. qtractor does not use libgtk directly. most probably, libsuil does.

and yes, libgtk-x11.so might well be found on something like libgtk2-dev or else :)

cheers
